Last instar larva and pupa of Paramallocera hirta Kirby, 1818 are described and illustrated based on specimens reared in the laboratory from neonate larvae on Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus logs and on an artificial diet. Characteristics of possible diagnostic value are also presented in this paper.

Soil-incorporated rotation/green manure crops were evaluated for management of potato early dying caused by Verticillium dahliae and Pratylenchus penetrans. After two years of rotation/green manure and a subsequent potato crop, P. penetrans numbers were less after 'Saia' oat/'Polynema' marigold, 'Triple S' sorghum-sudangrass, or 'Garry' oat than 'Superior' potato or 'Humus' rapeseed. The area u...

We studied components of male and female reproductive success in the fig, Ficus hirta from Guangdong Province, China. Specifically, we analyzed the composition and sex ratio of both pollinating (Blastophaga javana) and the two species of non-pollinating wasps associated with functionally male figs, as well as seed production in the functionally female figs. In male figs, a mean of 799 flowers p...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary euphorbia hirta and an acidifier mixture supplementation on gut morphology and some blood parameters of broiler chickens.a total of 240 day old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one ofthe four dietary treatment groups including: (1) basal diet (control), (2) basal diet + 7.5 g/kg e. hirta (eh7.5), (3) basal diet + 1.5 g/kg ...

molluscicidal activity of different organic solvent extracts of latex of euphorbia pulcherima and euphorbia hirta (family-euphorbiaceae) against two freshwater harmful snails lymnaea acuminata and indoplanorbis exustus has been reported. both the snails are the intermediate hosts of fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantica, which cause endemic fascioliasis in cattle and livestock of eastern par...

Se documenta la presencia en los Pirineos de Potentilla pedata, sobre base criterios morfológicos ampliamente aceptados últimos años zona mediterránea. Esta especie presenta caracteres parte intermedios entre P. recta y hirta.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Euphorbia hirta and acidifiers supplement on resistance of broiler chickens against Salmonella enteritidis infection. A total of 120 day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 3 dietary treatments. 1) basal diet, 2) basal diet supplemented with 2 g/kg organic acid (OA) and 3) basal diet supplemented with 7.5 g/kg E. hir...

A taxonomic study of the genus Furcilarnaca Gorochov, 2004 is presented. Four new species are described: F. affinis sp. nov., F. hirta sp. nov., F. fractiflexa sp. nov., F. brachyptera sp. nov.. Two new combinations F. fallax (Liu et al., 2010) comb. nov. and F. pulex (Karny, 1928) comb. nov. are given. A key to the species and the distributional data of Furcilarnaca are provided.
