Evaluation Of Fungicides And Application Timing On Control Of Black Leg

This experiment is designed to test the allelopathy of two different treatments, Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) and Lemon (Citrus limon). The two treatments will be tested on radish seeds (Raphanus sativus) to investigate the effect of the treatments on the germination of the radish seeds. Allelopathy is the beneficial or harmful effects that one plant has on another plant by the release of chemicals. Allelopathy studies the interactions among plants, fungi, algae and bacteria with the organisms living in a certain ecosystem, interactions that are mediated by the secondary metabolites produced and exuded into the environment (Francisco A Macías, José MG Molinillo, Rosa M Varela, Juan CG Galindo 2007). The plants use

The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is a highly disruptive species that can, and has played a distinctive role in the lives of many organisms. Included in these organisms are various deciduous trees and shrubs, wildlife species that share the same environment, and even humans. The gypsy moth destroys the beauty of woodlands via defoliation, alters ecosystems and wildlife habitats, and disrupts our own lives. It should therefore come as no surprise that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and many other agencies have taken huge steps to help diminish populations of this small, yet persistent species. In an effort to control these overwhelming populations, five chemical control agents have

There are not many workers to cut acres full weeds to make the farm look organized. So to fix the solution, farmers use chemicals to kill the weeds. This solution makes it easier for the farmers to use because the process is fast. Another problem is that there are pest such as rats, birds, and other creatures that ruins farmers product. Pest tends to enter the farm and eat the products and will come back for more. Pest can also enter the farm and ruin the farm. Killing or removing the pest is the only way to fix the solution. But removing one by one is difficult. Using chemical to remove all the pest is the best way. Same method goes to removing all the insects and bugs. Insects and bugs are feeding on vegetables and fruits. Insect and bugs can ruin vegetable and fruits because when they are feeding on the product they tend to ruin the quality of the product. No one is going to buy a lettuce that is eaten by insects or fruits that has black spots. This causes the increases of all the products from being

The black was a bubonic diseases that spread from fleas on rats which is called yersinia pestis. This disease called the black plague is very deadly and has no cure which caused a lot of fear. It started in China and then spread to Europe in 1347 killing two thirds of their population in five years. Some of the symptoms were a black tongue, acral necrosis and swollen nodes, also the black plague caused a really bad smell which they tried to use herbs to help get rid of the smell. Some people used the black plague to their advantage by using this tactic called biological warfare in wars which means they basically killed their opponents by germs they did this by shooting those affected by the black plague at their opponent causing them to get

With government approval, certain beetles have been used to help reduce the number of Purple Loosestrife. Hylobius Transrersovitiatus and Nanophyes Marmoratus are a weevil that lays larvae and adults feed on the Purple Loosestrife roots, along with the Galerucella Pusilla and Galerucella Calmariensis, which are types of beetles that feed on its foliage and flowers. These beetles and weevils have reduced the Purple Loosestrife by at least ninety percent, but for large areas infested by the Purple Loosestrife, herbicidal is required for removal. The only problem with the chemicals used is that it can cause nearby plants to dye. Over a period of several years, the chemicals can reduce to only small areas being infested by the Purple Loosestrife, which promotes other plants to reappear. The Triclopyr and Imazapyr is a chemical used and is

The red necked cane borer, Agrilus ruficollis (F.), is a buprestid beetle that infests wild and cultivated blackberries and raspberries in the eastern states from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Adults are about 6-7 mm (1/4 inch) long, with an iridescent coppery pronotum. A related species, Agrilus rubicola, may occur concurrently. This species is uniform in color, ranging from copper-colored to iridescent green. On galled plants, there is less live vegetative growth and more dead wood. There is often reduced berry size and number, as well as vegetative growth with increasing number of galls per plant. Affected canes may not produce fruit. Canes weakened by galls are more subject to winter injury.

Laurel Wilt Disease is a scourge here in Florida. The disease affects laurel trees all over the Southeast, with the most notable victim being avocado trees. The beetles also effect sassafras trees, pond spice trees, and swamp bays. The main cause of this disease is a fungus known as Raffaelea Lauricola that is transmitted through a beetle called the red bay ambrosia beetle (Persea Borbonia). Neither of these species are native to the area. It was brought over to the states through wooden shipping containers that had contained the beetle insect. The insect and disease came from countries like India, Japan, Myanmar, and Taiwan. The disease works by having the beetle come into the country, hiding in the wooden crates. Once in America, the beetle enters into the environment and seeks trees to bore into for food and shelter. The beetles contain spores that containing the fungus that kills the host tree. The fungus then grows in the sapwood of the tree, restricting the flow of food, sap, and nutrients around the tree. This results in die back and eventually, a dead tree. The disease is known to highly effect the avocado industry and the natural forests in Florida. Currently, 61 out of 67 counties in Florida contain reports of Laurel Wilt Disease as of 2015. That is an enormous 91%.

Fungicides are a class of pesticides that are designed to kill or limit the growth of harmful fungi. "Understanding mechanisms of fungicide action and toxicity is important because humans and domesticated animals encounter these pesticides through a wide variety of applications. In agriculture, fungicides are used to protect tubers, fruits and vegetables during storage or are applied directly to ornamental plants, trees, field crops, cereals and turf grasses" (Hasan 2010: 349). It is very easy to inadvertently and indirectly consume fungicides as a result because of their ubiquitous use, even though many of the components of fungicides can be harmful to human health, animal health and to the environment as a whole.

One of the common deadly plaque that occurred in Europe history during the Medieval age period. Black Death is widely known as deathly plaque that kiled millions. Plaque is a bacterial infection and it is found commonly among fleas and rodents, such as rats. Fleas could jump into a human skin. However, its rats were commonly found carrying this deadly infection and could have affect humans. Black Death affected all the society, such as men, women, and including feudal system. Symptoms from Black Death including swellings—commonly in armpits and neck, dark patches, and coughing up blood. Black Death was the most deadliest plaque in the Medieval period. Since many people during the Medieval period didn't know were did the disease. Many Medieval

Until recently the only way to confirm the presence of the pathogen was a bioassay. In the bioassay plants are grown in soil that is thought to be contaminated for 5-6 weeks then the plant is harvested and examined for the formation of root galls. Other detection methods include examination of root hairs and fluorochrome staining of resting spores. The methods above are time consuming. A PCR technique was developed in western canada in 2007 that can detect the pathogen in plant tissue or in the soil. This technique has made it into commercial use. Unfortunately the techinique can only detect the presence of the pathogen not the amount of innoculum that is present in the soil. Detection with quantitative PCR appears to hold the most promise. A method has been developed that can quantify resting spores of Plasmodiophora brassicae. (Hwang S.F., Strelkov S.E., Feng J., Gossen B.D., Howard R.J. 2012) Growers should scout Canola for gall formation approximately 2 weeks before swathing and then send any tissue that appears to be problematic in to a lab for testing.

You may have heard that black mold is harmful. Many news reports have focused on the dangers of black mold in homes and other indoor environments. However, you might not be sure exactly how this kind of mold is dangerous. The pros at National Restoration Experts (NRE) are here to offer some answers to this common question.

The Black Spanish is a common fig that is native to western Asia. Black Spanish is a characteristic of Fig Cultivars. That ripens in June and usually around August. Black Spanish can be bought for one pound at a rate of ninety to twenty-nine dollars. This is a small tree that is has purplish brown fruits with a red center; this fig is usually medium sized. The black Spanish can be eaten fresh or even preserved. These leaves can grow up to three to five lobed, it is also about four to ten inches long once it is completely done growing. Black Spanish tolerant of a wide variety of soils and loves heat it does not need pollination. Something important to keep in mind is to protect young figs from gophers; they can be

One concern about pesticides and herbicide usage is the amount of residues left on the end product of crops sprayed with the chemicals, and their effects on human health. (Williamson, 2007, p. 184). However, these effects are closely tested and levels are strictly regulated to ensure there is no danger from possible pesticide residues. Since 1910, many rules, regulations, and agencies have been formed to monitor the safety of the pesticides and herbicides used in conventional farming. These chemicals must meet specific safety standards in order to be registered for use, and regulations on levels of each product safe for use are also put in place. (Tafel et al.,2007, p.184). All pesticides are rigorously examined to ensure they have no significant effects on human health, or the environment. The residues in the food chain are closely monitored, and regularly tested, to ensure they are below legal limits. In a recent survey of residues
