Antihydrogen formation at AEgIS CERN leverages charge exchange between Rydberg positronium (Ps*) and antiprotons, with cross-sections scaling the Ps principal quantum number $n^4$ inversely relative velocity $𝑣^{−2}$. However, motional Stark effect mismatch antiprotons impose stringent constraints, limiting efficiency. Advances in transmission converters mitigate self-ionization losses improve alignment, promising a significant boost antihydrogen yield. This work evaluates cross-sections,...
The study was carried out in three community-managed forests of Dadeldhura district located Far West Nepal 2015. objectives the were to analyze biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation observe how primary nutrients other properties affect SOC these forests. Simple random sampling method used with 0. 62% intensity. Concentric circular sample plot various sizes laid for necessary data collection. ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD correlation tests performed. density differed significantly (p<0....
An experiment to manage rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L. Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in wheat (Triticum aestivum Gramineae) was carried out at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Paklihawa Campus, Rupandehi, Nepal. The conducted under completely randomized design (CRD) with seven treatments viz. neem leaf dust (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) 15 g/kg, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) 10 ginger rhizome powder (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) 20 garlic cloves (Allium sativum Sichuan...
Mustard aphid is the most concerning pest of rapeseed in warm and humid areas Nepal because its widespread prevalence increasing severity. There use chemicals, as only resort, to manage this pest. The experiment was carried out evaluate effectiveness different bio-friendly management techniques against aphid, at Institute Agriculture Animal Science, Paklihawa campus. Treatments like "Jholmal" (250ml/L), Beauveria bassiana (4gm/L) Abamectin @ 1ml/L water, Metarhizium anisopliae (2 gm/L),...
Aphids are devastating pests to different plant species that suck the sap and transmit numerous viral diseases. Coccinella septempunctata (SSB) transversalis (TLB) potential biological predators of aphids. This research was carried out find efficiency ladybird beetles (LBB) as a biocontrol agent against These were studied on their feeding, fecundity, fertility Lipaphis erysimi, Diuraphis noxia, Acyrthosiphon pisum or with combination each aphid an artificial diet. The highest feeding SSB TLB...
Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), a voracious sporadic pest, had been major problem in maize causing significant yield loss and challenging food security around the world. It was first recorded Nepal on 9th May, 2019 is distributed most part of farming regions. Farming system such as maize-legume intercropping has reported to reduce infestation significantly. The experiment for effective management push pull strategy carried at horticulture farm Institute Agriculture...
Mustard aphid ( Lipaphis erysimi ) and English grain Sitobion avenae are among the most important pests in mustard wheat fields Nepal. Biocide Manic Metarhizium anisopliae a.i. = 1 × 10 9 spores/ml) at 3 ml/l water, Agri Sakti Beauveria bassiana 3.3 Varunastra Verticillium lecanii spores 2% aqueous suspension, 2 8 CFU/ml) 6 Mahastra Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki 0.5% wettable powder) g/l Neemraj Super (Azadirachitin 0.3% w/w) Tracer (Spinosad 90% spinosyns) 0.33 control treatment...
A field experiment was conducted at Anand Agricultural University, during Rabi season 2019-20 to assess the bio-efficacy of various insecticides against aphids infesting coriander. Of nine evaluated tolfenpyrad 15 EC, flonicamid 50 WG and afidopyropen 5 DC were found most effective in reducing incidence corinader. However, thimethoxam 25 WG, flupyradifurone 200 SL, dinotefuran 20 SG sulfloxaflor 21.8 SC moderate their effectiveness. Maximum coriander seed yield recorded from plots treated...
