ABSTRACT: The natural parasitism of Oebalus insularis eggs in the weed complex in areas adjacent to rice crops was evaluated. The high oviposition rate of this pest in Echinochloa colona and Echinochloa crus-pavonis favored the natural parasitism of Telenomus podisi. The host weeds serve as a natural reservoir of this egg parasitoid prior to the installation of crop production plots, promoting sustainability in the rice agroecosystem.

ABSTRACT: Catalonha production, one of the varieties of chicory, contends it is rich in vitamins and minerals and your study is based on the fact that it is little studied in Brazil, with the exception of the State of São Paulo in Brazil. This work aimed to raise bibliograhically works with one of the cultivars of chicory, in Brazil and Catalonha encourage new studies in the country. The methodology consisted in the study of published works about the grow in agricultural experimentation Catalonha. We conducted a bibliographic survey of works made with the cultivar for performance assessment, growth and productivity.........

ABSTRACT: The dairy cows in Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu are reared with limited amount of dry fodder, green grass and wheat bran as concentrate sources. This affects the productive and reproductive performance of dairy cows. Hence an attempt was made to assess the deficit per cent of nutrient intake in comparison with NRC (2001) feeding standard, in eight regularly cycling repeater, Jersey cross (Jx) and Holstein Friesian cross (HFx) cows. The results revealed there was deficit /kg of dry matter intake (DMI) in Total digestible nutrient (TDN), crude protein (CP) and calcium (Ca) was The deficit /kg of dry matter intake (DMI) in Total digestible nutrient (TDN).........

ABSTRACT: A study was made on the pollen tube growth of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in vivo at different intervals of time by the application of 0 ppm, 10 ppm, 15 ppm of borax and 50 ppm of myo-inositol through spraying. Pollen germinated normally on the stigmatic papillae, pollen tube emerged from the germinating pollen tube and passed through the stigmatic papillae in both the situation i.e. treated and untreated ones. After then interesting results were observed. The length of pollen tube of different treatments increased significantly at different intervals of time as compared to control except for T1 treatment where tube length was not significant at 3, 4, 6 hours..........

ABSTRACT: Cowpea (Vigna anguiculata [L.] Walp) plays a significant role in contributing to food security and agricultural sustainability in less developed countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and several others in sub-Saharan Africa. However, in Ghana the yield of cowpea is among the lowest in the world. This situation is attributed to the exposure of soil to wind and water erosion there by depleting macro-nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium estimated 40-60 kg ha-1 per year, which is among the highest in Africa. To this end, field experiment was conducted to determine the growth and yield response of two cowpea varieties to application of nitrogen from organic and inorganic sources and rhizobia inoculant in semi deciduous.........

ABSTRACT: Pectus Excavatum is a rare congenital deformity of the sternum, of unknown cause, which may involve genetic, and which generates dorsoventral narrowing of the thoracic cavity. Cats are more affected than dogs and the abnormal position of the heart in the thorax can lead to heart murmur and compromise of venous return, dyspnea being the most common clinical sign. The clinical diagnosis is made through physical examination and palpation, confirmed by thoracic X-ray. Often, due to lack of clarification from the owner about the problem, many newborn dogs and cats are abandoned or euthanized without a thorough evaluation of their clinical status and possible treatments..........

ABSTRACT: The deviation of the actual size of production to the optimum size leads to wastage in the use of resources and raising of production costs, then achieve may an inefficiency in production. In other words, farmers do not achieve the appropriate economic sizes. The use of production costs, in the identifying what achieved by production units from economic efficiency, considers one of the most important economic indicators. The aim of the research was to estimate the function of cowpea production and costs to used in the cost and profit efficiency and determination of the optimal sizes...........

ABSTRACT: Chemical fungicides cause serious environmental problems. Plant metabolites and plant based pesticides considered to be better alternatives as they are known to have minimal environmental impact in contrast to synthetic pesticides. In this study some plant extracts in different concentrations were tested in vitro for their activity against some cucurbit seed-borne fungi. All tested plant extracts significantly reduced the growth of the tested damping-off pathogens at all tested concentrations. F. semitictum and F. solani were more sensitive to plant extracts treatment than the other tested pathogens, where R. raetam extracts with 15% and 10% concentrations as mean were more effective to tested damping-off pathogens, whereas R............

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out in 19 dogs referred to Firat University Animal Hospital, Department of Surgery. The results were evaluated by using clinical findings, radiographical abnormalities, surgical or conservative management and outcome. In conclusion, the first goal in the treatment is to support the respiratory and cardiovascular system. Radiographic examination should not be neglected. Because it gives important clues about the operation options. Sometimes a single projectile causes death of animal, but too many projectiles may not cause a lethal effect in the animal. In the long term, too many projectiles can lead to lead (Pb) poisoning. Also in the long term, the projectiles may cause tumor formation in invasion areas. For the prevention of firearm injuries in animal, the application of penal sanctions is required.
