two years in dryland farmed cotton. The biochar, gypsum, and fly ash treatments will be applied with and without poultry litter to compare the treatments as an alternative or adjunct to poultry litter fertilizer. The effect of both treatments on thrip count and nematode populations will also be assessed. The evaluation of biochar application to soil as a method for reducing N loss from fertilizers, improving soil quality and fertility, and increasing yield and farm profitability have not been thoroughly

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a bulb crop belonging to the family Alliaceae. It is the second most widely cultivated crop after onion (Hamma et al., 2013).

Substantial Content I. Importance of natural method of pest control The problem with broad range conventional pesticides is that they not only kill the bad bugs, but they rub out the good bugs, too. A garden without natural predators means a world of insects gone wild. There's nothing left to keep pest levels in check. In fact, chemicals can mean double trouble because although you wipe out the first wave of pests, the second wave which is not the usual pest, but another insect moving into the

All are from the family Malvaceae, which includes several desirable plants, such as cotton, hibiscus, and okra.  One species of this family (Althaea officinalis) is the original ingredient used to make marshmallows.  That species is not found in California and although some of the wild mallow species can be eaten, mallows are less than desirable when found growing in
