Paraquat, PO (1,1'-dimethyle-4,4'-bipyridylium dichloride) is widely used herbicide known to cause fatal intoxication in both human and animals. This study was carried out to investigate additional information about the deleterious haematological, hepatic, renal and neurotoxicities of this herbicide on male guinea pigs. Animals were injected intraperitoneally with sublethal dose (1 mg kgG b.wt....

A two-year field experiment was conducted on potato crop to evaluate the bio-efficacy of herbicides, suitable doses and their feasibility with mechanical weed control method in terms plant height, number tubers relative composition weeds. The arranged a randomized complete block design (RCBD) three replications at vegetable research farm Department Horticulture, Institute Agricultural Sciences,...

In general, ethylene/1,3-butadiene copolymerizations provides copolymers possessing both pendant vinyls and vinylenes as olefinic moieties. We, at MCI, studied the substituent effects of C2-symmetric zirconocene complexes, rac-[Me2Si(Indenyl’)2]ZrCl2 (Indenyl’ = generic substituted indenyl), after activation on the ratio of the pendant vinyls and vinylenes of the resultant copolymers. Complexes...

Six new titanocene compounds have been isolated and characterised. These compounds were synthesised from their fulvene precursors using Super Hydride (LiBEt3H) followed by transmetallation with titanium tetrachloride to yield the corresponding titanocene dichloride derivatives. These complexes are bis-[((1-methyl-3-diethylaminomethyl)indol-2-yl)methylcyclopentadienyl] titanium (IV) dichloride (...
