ABSTRACT The khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) is a notorious pest causing significant damage to stored grains, leading substantial economic losses globally. This study investigates the insecticidal efficacy of methanolic extracts derived from two indigenous plants, Cannabis sativa and Cymbopogon citratus, alongside entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae, against T. granarium. assesses mortality rates, weight loss in infected wheat seeds, adult emergence....
Abstract A diatomaceous earth formulation enhanced with bitterbarkomycin (DEBBM) combined Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin was evaluated against lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica F. (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) under laboratory conditions. DEBBM applied at the rates of 15 and 30 ppm alone as well in combination 6.69 × 10 6 , 8 conidia/kg wheat. Mortality treated adults recorded after 5, days exposure. Bioassays were carried out 20, 25 30°C 55 75% relative humidity. The emergence...
Drought and high temperature stress are the major limitation for crop productions. Proline as osmoregulator in wheat plant under these stresses was studied through field experiments. The experimental design randomized complete block with four factors i.e. environment (2008-09 2009-10), sowing management (Planting windows PW's; PW1, PW2, PW3, PW4 PW5), genotypes (Chakwal-50, Wafaq-2001 GA-2002) locations (Islamabad, Chakwal Talagang) replicated times. contents measures at anthesis stage of...
The development of cultivars resistant to tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), are very limited in Pakistan and other parts the world because lack good sources resistance for breeding. Insect-resistant would be beneficial decrease indiscriminate use pesticides on crops. Seven wild accessions, including Solanum galapagense Darwin & Peralta, pimpinellifolium L., cheesmaniae (Riley) Fosberg, a susceptible check (Solanum lycopersicum L.) (all Solanaceae),...
Date palm, is a tree of economic importance which grown around the world, including Saudi Arabia. Its fruit nutritious and possesses medicinal benefits. Almond moth, serious date fruits pest in field as well storage causes severe losses. In given research, ultraviolet radiation type B (UV-B, 315 nm) harmful effects were evaluated against all developmental stages C. cautella. One 3-d-old eggs, 12 18-d-old larvae, 1-d 6-d-old pupae, 1-d-old adults, exposed to UV-B for different intervals. Eggs...
Optimistic and sustainable supply of soil available nutrients to crop plants enhances productivity. Integrated nutrient management (INM) approach can improve fertility on long term basis. The present study was conducted determine effects INM quantitative qualitative characters two Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars "Thori-78 Leed-00". Five treatments using different composition poultry litter, farm yard manure, nitrogen phosphorous fertilizers with recommended dose as a control...
Heart failure patients admitted for palliative care require specialized management to alleviate symptoms and enhance their quality of life. Nurses play a pivotal role in delivering care; however, knowledge, attitudes, practices significantly influence patient outcomes. This study aims assess these parameters nurses working intensive cardiology settings. Objective: T o evaluate the with heart failure. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted Nursing Department Nishtar Hospital, Multan from...
Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silavinidae) is considered as one of the major insect pest under stored product conditions all over globe. It causes severe damage such weight loss and products are reducing their quantity quality. The effectiveness Xenorhabdus nematophila Photorhabdus temperate was studied against in current study. Total eggs laid by O. significantly reduced concentrations X. P. adults’ number compared to control. higher gave reduction vice versa. In same way, total...
