Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExposure to Mercury at Trace Concentrations Leads to Collapse of the Hepato-Nephrocitic System in Two Neotropical Species of BumblebeeFelipe Lissoni de Andrade Nogueira, Paulo José Bálsamo, Monica Jones Costa, Fábio Camargo AbdallaThis research aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to safe concentrations of mercury on the morpho-physiology of cells of the hepato-nephrocitic system of two species of neotropical bees. Workers of the neotropical bumblebee species Bombus morio and B. atratus were exposed to 0.2 ppb mercury for 48 h by ingestion. Bioassays were performed according some direction of OECD (2017) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2018 · 8,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity and Allelopathic Potential of Weeds among Panamanian Coffee CropsLilia Cherigo, Jorge Lezcano, Sergio Martínez-LuisWorldwide, coffee is one of the most highly consumed and produced crops. Coffee production is a significant activity in the Panamanian economy, mainly in rural communities and among indigenous groups in the Chiriquí province highlands. Weeds growing alongside coffee plants can provoke considerable economic losses for producers by interfering with the growth, development and yield of coffee crop in cultivated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Subterranean Termite Coptotermes Curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) by Entomopathogen Metarhizium Anisopliae Var. Anisopliae Cultured in Liquid State FermentationVei-Ting Nyam, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Jie-Hung P. KingSolid state fermentation has been used for mass production of Metarhizium anisopliae many years ago. However, solid state fermentation was time consuming, costly and unable to produce in large amount. We examined the suitability of liquid state fermentation to mass produce M. anisopliae and the effect of culture medium on fungal pathogenicity. Three different liquid medium selected for this study … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2015 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSELECTION OF BEAUVERIA BASSIANA (BALSAMO) VUILLEMIN ISOLATES FOR MANAGEMENT OF MYZUS PERSICAE (SULTZAR) (HOM.: APHIDAE) BASED ON VIRULENCE AND GROWTH RELATED CHARACTERISTICSMohammad S. Al-alawi, Maher ObeidatIsolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana originated from Jordan were evaluated for their efficacy against the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Efficacy evaluation involved testing all isolates at a concentration of 1×107 conidia/mL followed by concentration dependent and greenhouse bioassays for the top virulent isolates. Growth characteristics related to virulence were evaluated for high, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2013 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Antiproliferative Activity Evaluation of a Series of Triterpenoids Isolated from Flueggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.)Sod Monkodkaew, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Narong Nuntasaen, Wilart PompimonProblem statement: Medicinal plants derived anticancer were now being subjects of many research groups especially, the secondary metabolite triterpenoids trees which had enormous potential to inspire and influence modern antiproliferative research. The study aimed to investigate the chemical constitution and their potential use as antiproliferative activity of purified compounds derived from F. virosa. Approach: The F. virosa was selected and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2009 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Causal Agent of Sunflower Head and Stem Rot Disease, by Use of Soil borne Actinomycetes IsolatesF. Baniasadi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: High level of biosafety and non adverse effects on the environment of biocontrol strategies of pest management, are priorities of tomorrow's world agriculture. Actinomycetes are active biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic properties against wide range of plant pathogens particularly fungi. Fungal pathogens are liable for a big part of damages in agriculture economy. Approach: In the present … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparisons of Phytotoxicity of Barley Parts Extracts in Three Growth Stages on Annual RyegrassKolahi Maryam, Kolahi MinaProblem statement: The importance of allelopathy in nature and in agroecosystem has attracted researcher's attention with the main goal of using the phenomenon in biological control of weeds. currently, active involvement of scientists from different disciplines made allelopathy a multidisciplinary subject, and transformed the research from basic to applied, enabling use of allelopathy in agriculture and forestry.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Allelopathic Potential of Extracts of Azadirachta Indica (Neem)Zoheir Y. Ashrafi, Aptin Rahnavard, Sedigheh Sadeghi et al.The allelopathic potential of extracts of Azadirachta indica L., which is one of the most dominant weeds in tropical regions of South-west Asia, was investigated under laboratory conditions. The n-hexane-soluble, acetone-soluble and water-soluble fractions obtained from the acetone extract of A. indica shoots inhibited the germination and the growth of roots and shoots of six test plant species. The inhibitory … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Upland Weed Control Potentiality of Green Tea Waste-Rice Bran Compost and Its Effect on Spinach GrowthM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.This study evaluated the upland weed control potentiality, germination inhibition ability and growth suppression efficiency of the five combinations of green tea waste - rice bran compost (GRC). GRC was prepared by mixing green tea waste and rice bran at five ratios, and allowed to decompose for 5 mo. Application of GRC suppressed weed growth up to 93.4% in number … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,203 accessesView PDFCite
