Field and laboratory studies were conducted to identify potential resistance among crape myrtles, Lagerstroemia spp., to Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman and to flea beetles, Altica spp. Damage ratings revealed variation among cultivars in susceptibility to beetle feeding. Cultivars with Lagerstroemia fauriei Koehne in their parentage exhibited the least amount of damage in choice and ...

Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) leaf, stem and berry extracts were prepared to examine the total phenolics, flavonoids and condensed tannins contents. The antioxidant activities of crude extracts, ethyl acetate fraction, butanolic fraction, tannins and anthocyanins from these parts of plant were evaluated in vitro using reducing power and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging...

Having information about preexisting chronic diseases and available public health assets is critical to ensuring an adequate public health response to natural disasters and acts of terrorism. We describe a method to derive this information using a combination of data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and geographic information systems (GIS) technology. Our demonstration focuse...

Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) is an important medicinal plant, of which all parts have pharmaceutical and nutritional applications distributed throughout the southwest regions Iran. The aerial myrtle were collected at different phenological stages (vegetative, flowering, unripe fruit ripening stages, after fully mature dispersal stage) from Fars Province Iran analyzed with GC–FID GC–MS. All data ...

C. cyminum (cumin) and M. communis (myrtle) comprise many biologically active molecules. In this study, cumin seed myrtle leaves were mixed then hydrodistilled analyzed by GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil cuminal (50.71%), 1,8 cineole (8.30%), O-cymene (7.88%), β-pinene (7.62%), α-pinene (7.16%), γ-terpinene (6.09%) α-terpinolene (2.19%). antifungal activity against albicans, par...

When different ratios of Eucalyptus leaves and cow dung were mixed and analyzed for worm multiplication, amongst the three ratios (1:1, 3:1 and 3:2), 3:1 was the most suitable ratio as far as multiplication of worms is concerned. There was no multiplication of worms up to two weeks but the worms started multiplying at a significant rate after two weeks. After eight weeks of inoculation the numb...

Abstract Myrtle rust is a serious fungal disease caused by Austropuccinia psidii affecting number of Myrtaceae species in New Zealand and elsewhere. Control with fungicides or biologicals provides mechanism to reduce the build-up inoculum short-term while other strategies are being developed deployed for long-term management. This study evaluated efficacy control myrtle under controlled conditi...
