ABSTRACT: In vitro nematicidal efficacy of some Aloe species on Meloidogyne incognita are known, but their effectiveness in the management of nematodes of field crops is scant. Pot and field experiments were laid out in completely randomized design and randomized complete block design, respectively, to determine the effects of three powdered Aloe species leaves of Aloe keayi (AKY), Aloe succrotina (AST), and Aloe vera (AVR) compared with carbofuran in the management of M. incognita on cowpea. Two-week old cowpea seedlings were inoculated with 10,000 eggs of M. incognita. A week after inoculation, powdered leaves of AKY, AST, AVR at 20 kg/ha, 40 kg/ha, 60 kg/ha, 80 kg/ha and carbofuran at 1 kg and 2 kg a.i/ha were applied. Data were collected on Vegetative Growth (VG), Grain Yield (GY), Gall Index (GI), Nematode Population (NP), and Reproductive Factor (RF). Data were analyzed using..........

ABSTRACT: Development of inbreds, for selecting as parents for hybridisation, in vitro seed germination and its establishment in Spathoglottis albida Kraenzl. was achieved. The pods obtained through selfing were harvested after 30 days and cultured in different media supplemented with individual and combinations of 6-benzylamino purine (BAP) and 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) Seed germination was higher in MS medium (93%) and lower in Mitra medium (87%). The seedlings were grown well in the MS medium supplemented with 1.5 ppm BAP and 0.5 ppm NAA. The plantlets obtained in this medium were healthy and vigorous with 16.8 cm height at the time of deflasking for hardening. The matured rooted plantlets were acclimatized by using potting mixture at 1:1:1 proportion for hardening. The survived plantlets were transferred to field establishment and its growth was successful.

ABSTRACT: With more than 1,500 craft villages in Vietnam, the craft villages have greatly contributed to increased income and reduced poverty not only in rural areas but also in urban areas of Vietnam. However, production activities of the craft villages have also caused severe environmental pollution and degradation because they not only emit noxious gases into the air, directly discharge untreated wastewater containing large amounts of pollution substances into rivers, but also waste natural resources. And the Binh Thang dried fish processing craft village in Binh Thang commune, Binh Dai district, Ben Tre province – Vietnam also is not exceptional. In order to provide reliable and scientific data, information for policy makers and bussiness managers as well, the research related to assessing the environmental status and proposing measures to improve environmental protection effectiveness in the Binh Thang dried fish processing craft village has been implemented. The results gained from the.........

ABSTRACT: A study was conducted to analyze variability in milk yield, milk constituents and body weight of cows with management and the feed supplied. Milk recording was carried out in morning and in evening. A total of 12 months milk recordings were made at monthly intervals from 19 cows. The cows were milked twice a day in the morning and evening. The utensils and udder were washed with plain water. Hand milking was practiced. The calves were used not only for let-down of milk but were also allowed to consume milk before milking. But before milking the calves were allowed to suckle only for few minutes. During milking roughages and concentrates were put before the cows for easy milking without struggle. Calves up to 6 months of age were grown on milk and leafy feed. The study suggests possibility of improving their daily production by feeding and management. The actual milk production capacity of Gangatiri cows might be higher than that estimated in this study. Since, it is based on partial milk.........

ABSTRACT: The intensive porcine productions generate effluents with high contents of solids, organic matter, phosphorus and nitrogen; constituting a source of contamination when they are not treated accordingly. Geocontainment filtration is a technology that allows to retain solids and thereby reduce the concentration of organic matter and nutrients in liquid effluents. The objective of the work was to evaluate the removal of the solid fraction of porcine effluents, through a filtration with addition of coagulants (FeCl3) and flocculants (cationic polymer).A filtering device was used to simulate the real load conditions in geocontainers: turbulence, flow and pressure. Three treatments were performed with 3 replicas: untreated raw effluent (T0), filtered effluent without the addition of chemicals (T1), filtered effluent with addition of chemicals (T2), filtered effluent with 20% more chemicals than T2 (T3).........

ABSTRACT: To develop strategies for conservation and future utilization of genetic resources of quail it is necessary to understand genetic variability and relatedness at molecular level. The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to detect polymorphism among five quail populations i.e. Japanese, Fawn, Dhakaya, White and Rosetta. Six out of 17 random primers screened yielded distinct polymorphic RAPD profiles. Among the six polymorphic primers, three primers (OPC-08, OPL-07 and OPL-18) were used in this study and generated 22 distinct bands (RAPD markers), of which 20 bands (90.91%) were considered as polymorphic. The percentages of polymorphic loci were 90.91, 86.36, 54.55, 72.73, and 90.91 and the Nei's gene diversities.........

ABSTRACT: The most prevalent type of viral infection of Telfairia occidentalis in Nigeria is Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV). Infected leaves exhibit mosaic and mosaic-like symptoms, severe leaf malformation, leaf distortion and reduced leaf size. Farmers suffer economic losses if effort is not made to reduce the incidence. This study investigated the possibility of detecting TeMV infection of T. occidentalis by SDS-PAGE of polyphenol oxidase isozymes. Fifteen test plants of T. occidentalis were grown under green house condition. Eight randomly selected plants were inoculated with TeMV and seven were left as control. Crude polyphenol oxidase enzyme extract from healthy and infected plants were fractionated by SDS-PAGE. Analysis of the polyphenol oxidase isozyme profiles.........

ABSTRACT: A field experiment was carried out in the field of experiments of the Medical and Aromatic Plants Research Unit at the college of Agriculture - University of Baghdad during the year 2016 - 2017 to study the rationing of the use of nitrogen fertilization by overlap with leaf spraying and its effect on the growth of the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita L.). The experiment was carried out within the design of the complete randomized block design (RCBD) with seven treatments and three replicates. The treatments included control ( full chemical fertilization N, P, K) and (1/2 N+ P, K) + spraying 1000ppm and (1/2 N+ P, K) + spraying 2000ppm (N) and (1/4 N, P, K) + spraying 1000ppm (N) and (1/4 N+ P, K) (P, K) + spraying with 1000ppm (N) and (P, K) + spraying 2000ppm........

ABSTRACT: Study was conducted on the effect of gastrointestinal strongyle on the blood picture of cattle according to sex, age and breed using Maiduguri central Abattoir Borno State. The blood parameters considered in this study were the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), Red blookd cell (RBC) count, white blood cells (WBC) count and the differential leucocyte count (DLC). A total of 153 cattle were sampled, 65 were found to be positive for strongyle ova, but analysis of the results show that males and females of different ages and breeds are equally susceptible to the gastrointestinal strongyle infection. The only significant variation in hematological parameters was observed in breeds..
