Abstract Biochar is a promising solution to alleviate the negative impacts of salinity stress on agricultural production. derived from food waste effect was investigated three plant species, Medicago sativa , Amaranthus caudatus and Zea mays under saline environments. The results showed that biochar improved significantly height by 30%, fresh weight shoot 35% root 45% all species compared control (saline soil without adding), as well enhanced their photosynthetic pigments enzyme activities...

The current study addressed the synthesis of thiazole-based thiazolidinone derivatives (1–18) using stepwise reaction processes, and their structure was confirmed various characterization techniques such as 1HNMR, 13CNMR, HREI-MS. Furthermore, biological features these analogues anti-cancer drugs against human cancer cell lines (HCC78 H3122) were identified. Their inhibitory potentials determined half-maximal concentration (MIC50) in presence standard Tetrandrineb (IC50 = 10.70 ± 0.30 µM),...

Soybean oil is a significant alternative to synthetic chemicals for environmentally friendly and sustainable pest control. This study evaluated soybean its fatty acids (palmitic, oleic, stearic acids; individually) their acaricidal repellent effects against Panonychus citri (Tetranychidae) predators [ Neoseiulus californicus barkeri [Phytoseiidae]) using laboratory foliar dipping topical spray methods. The LC 50 (Lethal Concentration) values palmitic, acids, P. were 0.86%, 0.95%, 0.56%,...

The melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae, is an important insect pest responsible for significant yield losses in vegetables. Conventional control methods, like pesticide applications, have certain limitations, including environmental contamination. This study evaluated the chemosterilant potential of five new growth regulators (IGRs)-Pyriproxyfen; Novaluron; Lufenuron; Buprofezin; and Flubendiamide-at concentrations ranging from 50 to 300 ppm a 5 mL diet against B. cucurbitae. Laboratory...
