ABSTRACT: The Shatt Al-Arab River suffered from deterioration in water quality due to seawater intrusion as a result of the decline in rate of discharge of freshwater during the recent years. Therefore, the ecological status of the river was evaluated by applying Fish Index of Biotic Integrity (F-IBI) during the period from November 2015 to October 2016. Fish were sampled monthly by different fishing gears from three sites on the river. The overall values of salinity in these sites were 1.2, 2.5 and 9.1‰, respectively. A total 111 fish species belonging to 50 families were collected, 15 of them were native, 13 exotic and 83 marine species. F-IBI scores were calculated from 16 separate assemblage metrics based on the species richness, species composition and trophic groups. Therefore, the F-IBI values showed clear longitudinal gradient in the river, its ecological health ranged from poor in the upper reaches to fair in the middle and lower reaches.

ABSTRACT: Cedrela fissilis Vell is known as cedar, is an arboreal species and has great economic importance due to its extensive use. The seeds are the way to spread more used in the deployment of forests, so important to the knowledge of the physiological maturity. The research aimed to verify if the degree of maturation of the seeds of C. fissilis influences in their quality, by means of tests of germination and seed vigor. The seeds were classified into three stages of maturation, determined in accordance with the Charter of colors: 5 YR 6/8; 5 YR 4/6 and 2.5 YR 3/4. To verify the effects of maturation stages, carried out the following: weight of a thousand seeds, germination test, accelerated aging and performance of seedlings. The experimental design was a completely randomized..............

ABSTRACT: Series of laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to study the effects of bacteria, nitrogen + phosphorus and the herbicide imazethapyr, on O. crenata in faba bean. Laboratory experiments results showed that all treatments significantly inhibited O. crenata germination and haustorium initiation. The combinations of BMP+TAL1399 and BMP+USDA2478 with fertilizers dose (1N+1PμM) reduced germination in a range of 83.16-86.25%. The combinations of BMP+USDA2478 or BMP+TAL1399 with imazethapyr (100%) reduced haustoria in a range of 79.2-82.6%. In the two greenhouse experiments, all treatments delayed and significantly decreased O. crenata incidence. In the first experiment, combinations of strains BMP+USDA2478 with different fertilizers.............

ABSTRACT: This research was done on determining the best rootstock(s) on two varieties of greenhouse cucumbers in Vegetable Research Center in Karaj [Iran]. The research trial plan was factorial based on CRD in three replications. Ten days after the planting, 11 varieties of squash seeds rootstocks and two varieties of greenhouse cucumber seeds named "Soltan and Extreme" were planted as scions, then the scions varieties were grafted on the mentioned rootstocks by approach method. Two days after grafting and recording the jointing percentage, grafted transplant was planted in greenhouse. About 40 days after planting and at the time of maximum plant growth, the growth traits such as plant height, stem diameter and the number of nodes were recorded for each plant, then in beginning............

ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the impact of changes in feed prices on household income of broiler farmers. This study aimed to analyze the impact of feed price changes on the income of small-holding broiler farm households. The method employed in this study was the survey method. It used both primary and secondary data. The results of the analysis demonstrated if there were an increased feed price margin between livestock farming companies and small-holding farms, it would be responded by the small-holding farms by decreasing the production of broiler meat. The decreased broiler meat production as a result of increased feed prices would affect the production decisions of small.............

ABSTRACT: The Metarhizium anisopliae MCC0051 is a potent, entomopathogenic fungal strain with a wide range of activity against the insect pests. Insect bioassay using of Helicoverpa armigera as a host insect has showed a final mortality above 100% within 8 days. Various agricultural grain brokens were studied to arrive an optimum substrate for Aerial conidia production of Metarhizium anisopliae in Solid Substrate Fermentation. Rice brokens, Wheat brokens, Sorghum brokens, Maize grit and Wheat bran were evaluated. Among all substrates, Rice brokens supported maximum spore production (6.5 x 109 conidia/g of substrate).

ABSTRACT: Fusarium oxysporum was isolated from the wilt affected tomato plants in a farm in Sadasivapet, Telangana by characterization and morphological properties. Several Trichoderma spp. (RSTV01, RSTV02, RSTV03, RSTV04 and RSTV05) were isolated from agricultural lands in the vicinity of Sangareddy and antagonistic activity of these isolates was studied on the above isolated Fusarium oxysporum. Of all these 5 Strains RSTV04 was found to have good inhibition on growth of Fusarium oxysporum. 18S ribosomal RNA sequencing was done for RSTV04 and was identified as Trichoderma asperellum. In present study, different cost effective agricultural residues and additives...........

ABSTRACT: The recognition of sub lethal stresses on food borne microorganisms and their effect upon growth is very important. Escherichia coli was injured by heating at 57̊ c. Surviving cells from fresh chicken meat were recovered on nonselective tryptic soy agar supplemented with compounds that degrade hydrogen peroxide or block its formation. Various concentrations of the following compounds were tested: yeast extract, sodium pyruvate, n-propyl gallate. Sodium pyruvate and yeast extract, ferrous sulfate and potassium permanganate. Sodium pyruvate and yeast extract added to tryptic soya agar medium, significantly increased (P≤0.05) the recovering of injured cells. The rest of compound had variable effects on recovery of heat stressed cells but they weren't as efficiency as needed. It is therefore recommended that sodium pyruvate (0.5%) plus yeast extract (0.5%) to be used to supplement in the repair detection procedure............

ABSTRACT: Here we study the expression of OsNHX1, OsNHX2,OsSOS1 and OsDREB transporter genes under different time points (control, 1h, 6h, 24h and 72h) of salinity stress (150mM NaCl). Upon NaCl stress, OsNHX1 and OsNHX2 transcripts were up-regulated till 1h up to 72h of salt stress, respectively in FR13A.Whereas, at BRRIdhan-29, expression of OsNHX1 was down regulated till 24h only up-regulated in 72h salt stress; and OsNHX2 expression was detected only control condition and undetected till 72h salt stress. Stable and higher expression of OsSOS1was found till 72h of salt stress in FR13A. Whereas, at BRRIdhan-29, expression of OsSOS1 was found in oh, 24h and in another time points was totally undetectable. The expression of OsDREB was detected at control condition and up regulated to 72h of salinity stress and remained stable in FR13A. The highest expression of OsDREB was observe............
