House flies are of major concern as vectors of food-borne pathogens to food crops. House flies are common pests on cattle feedlots and dairies, where they develop in and feed on animal waste. By contacting animal waste, house flies can acquire human pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., in addition to other bacteria, viruses, or parasites that may infect humans and a...

Agriculture is the most important sector in developing countries, so main source of concern for farmers plant diseases that lead to a lack production and waste money crops. In this paper, system using computer-assisted convolutional neural networks (CNN) with camera developed characterize citrus trees. This proposed can help increase improve quality their agricultural productivity. addition red...

The current study underlines biotechnological valorization of the accumulated and the non-efficiently utilized agro-industrial orange peel waste to produce polygalacturonase (PGase), an industrially important enzyme with augmented demands in enzymes markets, from Bacillus licheniformis SHG10. Sequential statistical optimization of PGase production was performed through one variable at a time (O...

The fermentation characteristics of six specific types of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) were examined, with an emphasis on properties that are needed when designing plug-flow type anaerobic bioreactors. More specifically, the decomposition patterns of a vegetable (cabbage), fruits (banana and citrus peels), fresh leaf litter of bamboo and teak leaves, and paper (newsprin...

Citrus wastewater is a sugar-rich waste stream suitable for the recovery of energy material from its treatment. In this study, fermentation citrus was carried out to assess optimal conditions maximize bioconversion organic substrate into acetate. Unbalanced nutrient (C: N: P 200:0.1:0.1) enabled highest acetate production. The presence particulate fraction obtain higher concentration regardless...

Citrus canker and Huanglongbing (HLB) are citrus diseases that represent a serious threat to the citrus production worldwide and may cause large economic losses. In this work, we combined fluorescence imaging spectroscopy (FIS) and a machine learning technique to discriminate between these diseases and other ordinary citrus conditions that may be present at citrus orchards, such as citrus scab ...

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is an important cultivar of the Citrus genus which contains a number nutrients beneficial to human health. peels are usually thrown away in this part Nigeria. The research work investigated bioactive components present indigenous citrus peel, grape paradisi). Grape fruits were purchased from garden market D-Line, Port-Harcourt metropolis and washed with ionized wate...

Groundwater quality is a concern in alluvial aquifers underlying agricultural areas worldwide. Nitrate from land applied fertilizers or from animal waste can leach to groundwater and contaminate drinking water resources. The San Joaquin Valley, California, is an example of an agricultural landscape with a large diversity of field, vegetable, tree, nut, and citrus crops, but also confined animal...

Aim: Fruit processing and consumption yield a significant amount of by-products as waste, which can be used as potential nutrient suppliers for livestock. “Kinnow” (Citrus nobilis Lour x Citrus deliciosa Tenora) is one of the most important citrus fruit crops of North Indian States. Its residues are rich in carbohydrates but poor in protein and account for approximately 55-60% of the raw weight...
