Actuellement, l’utilisation de biofertilisants, qui s’inscrit dans une démarche d’agriculture raisonnée, demeure une alternative durable pour participer à l’augmentation de la biodiversité des sols et contribuer à des pratiques agricoles plus vertes. Cette étude est ainsi entreprise pour évaluer le comportement du gombo, du maïs et du pois d’Angole sous l’effet de différents biofertilisants. Le matériel de production est constitué de produits d’origines animale et végétale.

Mukhpak’ or ‘SarvasarRog’ is nothing but a recurrent mouth ulcer or Stomatitis and is also termed as Aphthous ulcer. Over consumption of extremely pungent and spicy food, consuming and chewing of chemical agents like Tobacco-Gutakha, Insomnia, Vitamin deficiency, many life threatening disease like Malignancy, oral Submucus fibrosis, Skin disease and disturbances in G.I. tract like Constipation, Dysentery are the main causative factors responsible for this.

Au Sénégal, et plus particulièrement dans la région de Dakar, on note de plus en plus un développement de l’agriculture urbaine. Cette agriculture urbaine a entrainé l’émergence d’un secteur horticole constitué de producteurs de plantes, destinées à l’aménagement paysager, que l’on retrouve souvent au niveau des stations ou pépinières horticoles. Cependant peu d’études scientifiques concernant ces plantes cultivées ont été entreprises et leur utilisation dans l’aménagement paysager est encore méconnue.

The use of manometers in measuring fluid pressure in agricultural bar sprayers is fundamental as the spray pressure affects several characteristics such as the working range of the tip, the spraying volume, the size of the drop, the coverage on the target, the angle of the jet, the life of the drop and the risk of drift. The objective of this work was to measure the temporal accuracy of manometers in ground bar agricultural sprayer. Therefore, nine manometers were coupled to the bar of a ground sprayer.

The brown stink bug Euschistus heros Fabrícius (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is one of the main pests of the soybean crop. Aiming at the population reduction of this insect, an alternative to chemical control is the association of selective products with biological control through egg parasitoids, such as Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). The objective of this study was to evaluate the lethal and sublethal effect of insecticides and phytoinsecticides on adult and immature stages of the parasitoid in pre and post parasitism bioassays and sublethal effects.

The cancer of skin type no melanoma is the most frequent cancer in Brazil and accounts for 25% of all malignant tumors registered in the country. It has high rates of cure if detected early. Among the tumors of the skin, non-melanoma type is the higher incidence and lower mortality. Test bioproducts with protective solar activity is crucial in the prevention of public health and promotes technological development. The study evaluated the influence of Bixa orellana L. oil on SPF (Sun Protection Factor) six emulsions containing chemical filters Eusolex 232 and Neo Heliopan MBC.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HA) are common diseases and increasing incidence every year, causing severe complications to the individual. Diabetes mellitus occurs when the production of the hormone insulin by the pancreas is insufficient or when the body does not efficiently use the insulin it produces, leading to an increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood. And hypertension is characterized by increased blood pressure level. The objective of this work was the active search for new cases of diabetes and hypertension in the city of Floriano, Piauí.

O objetivo do presente artigo éidentificar e analisar a dinâmica de crescimento da produção agrícola no Estado de Rondônia no período de 1997 à 2016 de três importantes culturas regionais: banana, café e maracujá. Também é enfatizado a análise do maracujá, a partir da verificação das Taxas Anuais de Crescimento da Produção-TACP do fruto especificas por microrregião do estado. A teoria da modernização, na forma do modelo de inovação indutiva, sustentam a construção do estudo. Além disso, para identificação das TACP das culturas, empregou-se o método shift-share.

The water hyacinth is an aquatic macrophyte plant considered as lignocellulosic biomass. The chemical composition of the water hyacinth is presented in considerable contents of cellulose and hemicellulose, and low levels of lignin, which constitutes a potential substrate for the production of ethanol. The present study aims to develop a technology for the production of ethanol of the second generation from the biomass of aguapé.

This study evaluated the efficacy of formalin and sodium chloride bathing to control leech in freshwater ornamental Peckoltia oligospila loricariid fish through blood parameters. This experiment was conducted by using a completely randomized design in three aspects (control, 250mg/L formalin short bath, and 15g/L NaCl short bath for 15 minutes) and four replicates. Water quality, blood parameters and glucose were evaluated. NaCl showed the best results to control parasites. There was no significant difference related to blood parameters.
