Growers are looking for sustainable alternatives to methyl bromide as a soil fumigant that are effective and economical. Increased demand for organically produced fruits and vegetables has also contributed to the need for environmentally friendly soil-borne disease control methods. Grafting may be a valuable tool for vegetable growers to cope with pest management challenges in production of cuc...

In this work, the grafting of maleic anhydride onto two types of linear low density polyethylene with hexene-1 comonomer (LLDPE-H1) and butene-1 comonomer (LLDPE-B1), in the presence of styrene monomer (St) and dicumyl peroxide initiator (DCP) has been studied. The combined influences of MAH, St and DCP on the grafting efficiency via a melt reactive mixing process have been investigated using r...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of grafting of watermelon hybrids ‘obla f1’ and ‘vanessa f1’ on to cucurbita maxima × cucurbita moschata rootstock tz 148 and lagenaria sp. rootstock ‘dias f1’, on the volatiles and yield of fruit and the plant growth. fruit volatiles analysis showed the presence of two aldehydes, namely (e)-2-nonenal and (e,z)-2,6-nonadien-1-al, with (e)-2...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Due to the rarity of the condition, large and prospective series defining the optimal method of digestive arteries revascularization, for the treatment of chronic intestinal ischemia, are lacking. The aim of this consecutive sample clinical study was to test the hypothesis that flexible application of different revascularization methods, according to individual cases, will y...
