Metalaxyl, fosetyl-Al, dimethomorph and cymoxanil were applied as a soil drench to evaluate their ability to control in vitro and in vivo Phytophthora cactorum and P.citrophthora, agents of crown rot of peach tree.In the in vivo assays, metalaxyl, applied as soil drench at 2 g/tree, was the most effective, reducing growth of P.cactorum and P.citrop
Investigation of an Improved Performance of Secondary Clarifiers Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Model
Secondary clarifier is one of the Foam Cleanser most commonly used unit operations in wastewater treatment plants.It is customary designed to achieve solids separation from biologically treated effluent through clarification of biological solids and thickening of sludge.As treatment plants receive increasingly high wastewater flow, conventional sed
Bridging the Gap to Non-toxic Fungal Control: Lupinus-Derived Blad-Containing Oligomer as a Novel Candidate to Combat Human Pathogenic Fungi
The lack of antifungal drugs with novel modes of action reaching the clinic is a serious concern.Recently a novel antifungal protein referred to as Blad-containing oligomer (BCO) has received regulatory approval as an agricultural antifungal agent.Interestingly its spectrum of antifungal activity includes human pathogens such as Candida albicans, h
Land-use change in oil palm dominated tropical landscapes-An agent-based model to explore ecological and socio-economic trade-offs.
Land-use changes have dramatically transformed tropical landscapes.We describe an ecological-economic land-use change model as an integrated, exploratory tool used to analyze how tropical land-use change affects ecological and socio-economic functions.The model analysis seeks to determine what kind of landscape mosaic can improve the ensemble of ec
