This may cause an unrealistic soil moisture regime and may effect crop growth. A method was developed to obtain large undisturbed soil cores To more closely represent an uninterrupted soil coland instrument those cores to collect vadose zone leachate data under agricultural field conditions. Twenty undisturbed soil core lysimeters umn at the point of leachate collection, a vacuum extracwere con...

Calocybe indica, a tropical edible mushroom, is popular because it has good nutritive value and it can be cultivated commercially. The current investigation was undertaken to determine a suitable substrate and the appropriate thickness of casing materials for the cultivation of C. indica. Optimum mycelial growth was observed in coconut coir substrate. Primordia initiation with the different sub...

We report a case of 30 year old female patient who presented with complain of gradually progressive swelling at the lower back for 8-months duration. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of swelling revealed characteristic physaliferous cells seen as in chordoma and, radiological and histological findings are favoured the diagnosis of chondroid chordoma. Chondroid chordoma is a controversial ...

A wild type strain ofVerticillium lecanii and a mutant strain with increased tolerance to the fungicide benomyl were evaluated in greenhouse experiments for effects on Heterodera glycines populations. Nematodes were applied at 300 eggs and juveniles per 4,550-cm(3) pot (two soybean plants in 4,990 g loamy sand per pot) and at both 300 and 10,000 eggs and juveniles per 1,720-cm(3) pot (one soybe...

mas·hyy saturated soil liquefaction during earthquakes, shnakhthshdhyy phenomenon that many researchers in the past three decades has attracted. more research on the liquefaction of saturated soils has focused mas·hyy the natural soils are rarely composed of clean sands, and mixed with clay or silt soils, which is why the study has important ghyrkhmyry and paste. despite numerous studies on the...

63 Three soils (a silt loam, loamy sand, sandy loam) found in Mississippi and pure silica sand were treated with fipronil and bioassayed using eastern subterranean termites, Reticulitermes jlavipes. Soils were treated with aqueous solutions ofTermidor (fipronil) at concentrations of 0, 0.12, 0.25,2.5, 5.0 and 20.0 ppm (wt AI: wt soil) that brought the soils to 15% moisture. Estimated lethal con...

The experiments were conducted at Green Acres Agronomy farm near Gainesville, Florida, on an Arredondo loamy sand, a member of the loamy, silicious, hyperthermic family of grossarenic Paleudults. The field study started in 1976 included cropping systems of oat (Avena sativa)/soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) versus oat/grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) that were split plots of four tillage treatm...
