Vigna unguiculata, Cassia fasiculata, and Sesamum indicum did not support Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita, or Heterodera glycines race 4 in greenhouse studies with soils from peanut and soybean fields. Fagopyron eseulentum, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, and Cucurbita pepo were hosts to the two Meloidogyne spp. but were nonhosts to H. glycines. Meloidogyne arenaria and M. incognita galled but repr...

The present paper deals with the study of biomass production of manures in the greens such as Amaranthus polygamus and Amaranthus viridis of the family Amaranthaceae and Spinacea oleracea of the family Chenopodiaceae. The medicinal uses and pharmaco - phytochemical analysis were also carried out for the plant species which are widely used as greens.

The three plants presented in this study are Amaranthus spinosus, Amaranthus caudatus and Amaranthus viridis L. They belong to the Amaranthaceae family and are traditionally used as vermicides. Our aim was to investigate the anthelmintic activity of the three plants using earthworms (Pheretima posthuma). Methanol extracts of the three plants at different concentrations (10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 ...

The genus Amaranthus contains 44 species and belongs to the family of Amaranthaceae classified within the order of Caryophyllales. Within this order a number of allergenic species including Amaranthus retroflexus (Redroot pigweed), Beta vulgaris (sugar beet), Chenopodium album (Lambsquaters), Kochia scoparia (Burning bush), and Salsola kali (Russian thistle) have been acknowledged by the WHO/IU...

Dicamba can be included in weed management programs for Brazilian agricultural crops, such as Conyza spp. and Amaranthus spp., it is essential to implement good practices that include salts with low volatility levels appropriate associations maintain at acceptable levels. The objective of this study was evaluate the volatilization dicamba diglycolamine (DGA) salt associated different glyphosate...

Tropical leaf vegetables are grown in the tropics and are rich sources of nutrients, particularly minerals, and vitamins (Oomen and Grubben 1978). A number of species and cultivars have been introduced and grown in the continental US on a limited-scale, particularly in the southern region (Lamberts 1993). The US is a major market for tropical and specialty greens and most of the shipments come ...
