Fruit peels of Banana, Pomegranate, Sweet lime and Orange are highly rich in potash, ion, Zinc etc. Above fruit peels powder were formulated from the trace amounts and gradually increased for the preparation of three formulations as Formulation 1, Formulation 2 and Formulation 3. Three different formulations were applied for plant growth in two methods such as fruit peel powder, fruit peel powd...

Bilirubin above a threshold level is toxic to human system and is excreted in urinary and through gastrointestinal tract. The role of bilirubin as antioxidant is debatable. This paper aims at elucidating the role of bilirubin as an antioxidant in neonatal jaundice patients. It is observed that bilirubin up to 6 mg/dl in blood acts as an antioxidant and above 12.5 mg/dl is strongly prooxidant. P...

Citrus orchards in northeastern Brazil are mostly rainfed and comprised basically of ‘Pera CNPMF D-6’ sweet orange budded on ‘Rangpur’ lime, for the drought tolerance productivity imparted by this rootstock. Therefore, selection new varieties is needed to broaden genetic basis citrus cultivated region. Accordingly, study compared vegetative, productive, fruit quality traits eight scions grafted...

Sweet lime split bark is a disorder of increasing importance in Fars province. Previously we showed that a new variant of hop stunt viroid (HSVd-sb) was related to the disorder. It had homology with a noncachexia variant of hop stunt viroid (CVd-IIa-117) which causes cracking the bark of trifoliate orange rootstocks. In this study, showed that M.NgoBIX, BglI and BsrI restriction enzymes can c...

The choice of management practices for the treatment of piggery effluent prior to its disposal to waterways or land is governed by the desire to simultaneously minimise the cost of treatment whilst minimising pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the removal of total and total filterable phosphorus (P) (<0.45 microm) from ortho-phosphate solutions or pig...
