ABSTRACT- To compare the effects of six types of non-living mulches (wheat straw, sawdust, coco peat, peat moss, transparent and black plastic) with metribuzin on yield and yield components of tomato cv "CH" and the weed control efficiency, a study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at School of Agriculture, Shiraz University in 2012. Plots without mulch...

This experiment was conducted at National Tea Research Institute (NTRI), Shinkiari, Mansehra during 2005-06 with the objectives to find and recommend the most suitable growing environment with a better combination of polythene tube colour i.e. black or transparent for the successful raising of tea seedlings. Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) seedlings were raised in polythene tubes (black and transpar...

Different antibiotics have different characteristics but the aspect of antibiotic stability is the main concern of the pharmacist when dispensing the drug. The stability of drug such as chemical stability, physical stability, microbiological stability, therapeutic stability and toxicological stability will ensure its therapeutic effect. There are some factors that may affect antibiotics’ effect...

An incubator designed for use inside an anaerobic glove box is described. The incubator is made of transparent plastic material, has sliding plastic doors, and can be made in various sizes from readily available materials.

Hybrid transparent electrodes with silver nanowires (AgNWs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were fabricated on plastic films by a low-temperature solution process. The hybrid transparent electrodes exhibited a sheet resistance of 29.2 Ω/sq with a transparency of 80% when 6 wt.% of SWCNTs was mixed with AgNWs. This sheet resistance was less than one-fourth that of the AgNW transparen...
