Soil was contaminated with chromite mine tailing debris at 2% amendment rate (980 g soil + 20 g debris). Biochar-poultry manure mixtures were applied in soil at 10% and 20% amendment rates (respectively, 900 g soil + 100 g mixture and 800 g soil and 200 g mixture of poultry manure and biochar in 1:1 mixture ratio). After harvest of t...

In this regard, three different lettuce varieties (May King, Kobak and Great Lakes) were grown in spring 2019 and 2020. The concentration of 6% MLE was sprayed as a biostimulant every two weeks from transplanting with the amount of 25 mL plant-1. The results indicated that lettuce vegetation quality...

T. procubmens and S. acuta was applied as soil amendment (400, 600 & 800g) and organic solvent crude extracts (40, 60, 80g/kg soil) in M. incognita infested lettuce and carrot plants as treatments. Results showed that lettuce and carrot plants grown in pots amended with the highest quantity of plant materials (800g) had commendatory vegetat...

Results revealed that nematode infected lettuce plants treated with BPL recorded significantly higher (P< 0.05) mean number of leaves, plant height and yield compared to the untreated control. In addition, BPL at 400 mg/ml had substantially higher nematic...

The T. gondii were identified in these samples by microscopy and molecular analysis. In total, 9% (18/200) of agricultural produce samples had Toxoplasma oocysts. T. gondii was detected in 14% of carrots, 12% of radishes, 4% of lettuces, and 6% of strawberries. There was no significant difference in prevalen...
