Dissipation of Quinalphos (Ekalux 20 AF) and Methomyl (Lannate 12.5 L) residues were studied in/on Okra (var. Pusa Sawani) fruits and cropped soil at Baruipur, West Bengal, India. The insecticides were applied at 21 days after sowing by foliar spray at the recommended and double the recommended dose (i.e. 500 and 1,000 g a.i. ha(-1) in both the cases). Four sprays were given ...

Consumption of certain fruits and vegetables is now widely associated with chemoprevention of degenerative diseases like cancer and cardiovacsular disorders because of their antioxidant components. Polyphenols, a heterogeneous group of compounds, are one of these constituents. Hibiscus esculentus L. (Family Malvaceae), commonly referred to as okro, okra, ...

Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) is a cosmopolitan, tropical, subtropical plant. On the basis of Ujvarosi life-form it is a G2 perennial plant, overwintering with tubers in the soil. It occurs in all continents: along Eastern and Western coastlines of Africa and even in South-Africa, North and South America, Japan, India, Near-Eastern countries, Western, Southern and ...

Season-dependent mineral accumulation was recorded in fruits of Okra and Tomato. The highest concentration was in summer in Okra and in winter in Tomato. Lowest concentrations were in winter in Okra and rainy in Tomato. Both crop plants indicated that the mineral contents were in the order of P > K > Ca > Mg > Na > Fe which also signify their relative functional ...

Purple and yellow nutsedge are among the most troublesome weeds of cucurbit and fruiting vegetable production in the Southeast US. The phase-out of methyl bromide will necessitate alternative management options that target tubers, the primary means of nutsedge reproduction. Greenhouse studies wer...

Cadmium contamination of the soil is a common cause of environmental concern in the suburban areas of developing cities in India The present research paper describes the changes in physiological, biochemical, growth and yield characteristics, and bioaccumulation potential of lady's finger (Abelmoschus esculentus L.), an important vegetable crop at different levels of Cd in the ...

to identify potential parents and superior cross combinations for yield improvement in Okra. Six bhendi genotypes viz., Girija Vikas, MDU 1, Hissar Unnath, Arka Abhay and EC 305623 were crossed in full diallel fashion (including the reciprocals). The eight characters observed included days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of fruits ...

Two peaks of ethylene production occur during the development of cotton fruitz (Gossypium hirsutum L.). These periods precede the occurrence of young fruit shedding and mature fruit dehiscence, both of which are abscission phenomena and the latter is generally assumed to be part of the total ripening process. Detailed study of the dehiscence process ...

These studies were conducted to determine whether ethylene serves as a natural regulator of fruit wall dehiscence, a major visible feature of ripening in some fruits. We employed treatments to inhibit ethylene action or remove ethylene and observed their effect on fruit dehiscence. CO₂ (13%), a competitive ...
