Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiological Control of Spodoptera frugiperda Eggs Using Telenomus remus Nixon in Maize-Bean-Squash PolycultureAntonio GutiA©rrez-MartAnez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier B. Lastra-BravoThe maize earworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important pest in maize. Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is an important control agent of this pest due to its capacity to invade the whole egg mass. The percentage of parasitism by Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs was evaluated in maize-bean, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Jul 2012 · 10,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOligoglucans as Elicitors of an Enzymatic Antioxidant System in Zucchini Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seedlings at Low TemperatureAbel Ceron-Garcia, Gustavo Adolfo Gonzalez-Aguilar, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Non-controlled low temperatures affect physiological and biochemical processes leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulation in plants, which normally are stabilized by the antioxidant system. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Catalase (CAT) are the most important ROS-detoxification enzymes in stressed plants. Approach: The activity of these enzymes were examined in response to fungal Oligoglucans (OG) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEFFECT OF POLYETHYLENE BLACK PLASTIC MULCH ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TWO SUMMER VEGETABLE CROPS UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS UNDER SEMI-ARID REGION CONDITIONSAtif Y. MahadeenWater use efficiency in agriculture can be enhanced by several strategies mainly by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. The mulching techniques were being used widely in irrigated crop production worldwide. The mulching techniques can be also implemented in summer vegetables production under rain-fed conditions. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of polyethylene black plastic mulch on growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 9,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones.

Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Polyploid Induction in Phalaenopsis Aphrodite by PendimethalinPrasetyorini Djarot, Deden Sukmadjaja, Fadya Annisa Chaesarani, SukonoPhalaenopsis aphrodite is a type of orchid with high ornamental and economic value. However, its development for commercial needs in Indonesia is still hindered by the limited availability of varieties. Therefore, enhancing genetic diversity is necessary, one of which is through polyploid induction. Several previous studies reported that pendimethalin effectively duplicates the chromosome numbers of various plant species. The aim … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2026 · 854 accessesView PDFCite
