OBJECTIVE Four plant extracts possessing molluscicidal and insecticidal efficacy were evaluated under laboratory conditions versus Biomphalaria alexandrina, Lymnea cailliaudi snails, their egg masses and Culex pipiens larvae. These extracts included Grape seed, Eucalyptus, Pomegranate, Verbesina alcoholic extracts, as well as Eucalyptus oil. METHODS Different mortalities in the exposed vector...

Efficacy of thiamethoxam (Cruiser) and imidacloprid (Gaucho) were evaluated as seed treatments for controlling European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) and Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) larvae in stored grain. At approximately 22-26 degrees C, all fifth instar European corn borers died after two or 4 d of exposure to corn treated with 250 and 500 ppm thiamethoxam, resp...

In an effort to improve and promote the propagation of Terminalia sericea, the effects of temperature, photoperiod and growth regulators on seed germination were investigated. Seeds were tested with different temperature regime (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40C) and in photoperiod (4/20, 8/16, 12/12, 16/8 light/dark hrs and 24 hours continuous dark). Pre-treatments with growth regulators were don...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of in ovo injection (IOI) of calcium carbonate nano-particles (CCN) on post-hatch bone and blood parameters and performance of broiler chickens. Fertile eggs (n=400) were distributed into 4 groups of 100 eggs. On the first day of incubation, 2 groups were injected with 0.5 mL of either 100 or 200 ppm CCN/egg dissolved in normal saline and two...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the oral consumption of guggulplant resin on the performance and humoral immunity response of broiler chicks. for doing this experiment, 320 one-day old chicks of the cobb 500 strains, in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates were used. experimental diets include: control diet (without the guggul), control die...
