The plant pathogens as Alternaria solani, Monilinia fructigena, Botrytis cinereae and Venturia inaequalis cause significant damages on many plants in the European region (particularly in the region of Republic of Bulgaria), especially on orchard cultures which are very important for agricultural industry in this area. There is many existed commercial plant protection products towards this phytopathogens on the market and there is intensive pesticides treatments in order to be overtake infestations and damaging of the plants from this pathogenic fungus. However such king pesticides in the most cases are toxic and harmful for the humans and environment, so there is a need for development and introduction on the pesticide market of the novel environmentally friendly plant protection products against these diseases. In the present research paper an in vitro trials were conducted with ethanol extracts from tarbush plant (Flourensia cernua) with conidial sporulation of of Alternaria solani, Monilinia fructigena, Botrytis cinereae and Venturia inaequalis. The received results show the strong antisporulation action of tarbush plant ethanol extracts towards tested pathogens. However according to the conidiospores of Alternaria solani, there was full lack of effectiveness and even slightly stimulation action of germination of spores. This results can be a base for development of the new natural fungicides against tested plant pathogens wicth can be apllied as in the commersial agriculture, as in the organic or integrated pest management

Bangladesh is an agro-based country. Several vegetables and fruits contribute greatly to the national economy. Fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae) have been a serious threat to agriculture in Bangladesh as well as worldwide. Morphological identification sometimes creates misidentification in adult stages, while in eggs, larvae and pupal stages are totally difficult. Nowadays, molecular identification based on DNA barcoding is an effective and rapid identification tool. However, this technique is very limited use in Bangladesh. In this study, adult samples were collected (trapping with ME and CUE) from three different geographic locations (Dhaka, Chittagong and Barisal) of Bangladesh. Adult flies were identified based on DNA barcoding (amplify the sequences with COI gene), and larvae were identified based on species-specific primers. Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), Zeugodacus tau (Walker) and Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) were identified adult species found in all the locations, whereas B. dorsalis was found in a higher number. In case of host fly identification on the basis of larvae, B. dorsalis was identified from guava in three locations, indicating guava fruit is the suitable host in Bangladesh. Proper management should be taken to control these pest species; otherwise, they will become a great threat to the agriculture of Bangladesh.

Fruits & vegetable commodities incur huge loss in field & postharvest conditions due to infestation by Tephritid Fruit Flies. The adult female flies lay eggs inside near maturity fruits & vegetables. The eggs hatch into apodous larvae which feed on the pulp; making them unfit for human consumption and marketing. Using male pheromone lures like Cue Lure & Methyl Eugenol Lure is one of novel techniques for annihilating male fruit flies only. Female flies can still mate & keep ovipositing fruits. So, an experiment was carried at Maranthana, Pyuthan, Nepal with 3 replications & 7 treatments to devise techniques for female fruit flies management. The experiment comprised of commercially used pheromones like Cue Lure & Methyl Eugenol Lure and 5 home based baits viz. Apple Cider Vinegar, Yeast fermented sugar, Tulsi Lure, Local Liquor Lure & Pumpkin Lure; all poisoned with Malathion, soaked in cotton wick and assembled in Lynfield traps. The experiment was completed in two trappings; 2021/04/18 to 2021/05/09 and 2021/04/16 to 2021/07/07; with similar results in both trappings. The commercial were able to attract the highest number of flies; all of which were male. Local liquor lure & tulsi lure attracted least number of male fruit flies. The Apple Cider Vinegar Lure and Yeast Lure attracted both male & female flies while pumpkin lure attracted only female flies of genus Zeugodacus. Results revealed that female flies of genus Zeugodacus tau & Z. cucurbitae could be attracted efficiently by making use of Apple Cider vinegar and Pumpkin.

The culture and growth performance of Spirulina platensis in three different concentrations (25, 50, and 75 percent) of digested rotten mango media (DRMM) and Kosaric medium (KM) as control were investigated. This study intended to examine DRMM as a low cost culture media for microalgae. For 16 days, optical density, cell weight, chlorophyll a concentration, and total biomass of S. platensis under various treatments were measured in every alternate day. The growth rate of S. platensis cultured in the supernatant of DRMM and KM was varied and the maximum cell weight, chlorophyll a content and total biomass of S. platensis were 0.085 mg/L, 0.08 mg/L and 4.824±0.021 mg/L at 50% in DRMM of the culture. This study showed that the growth performance of S. platensis was higher in the supernatant of 50% DRMM than 25 and 75% of DRMM which resulted satisfactorily compared with standard KM. In the supernatant of 50% digested rotten mango medium, large volume spirulina culture may be feasible.

Purpose: This study investigated the suitability of nine common market food wastes in Nigeria for rearing Hermetia illucens. Methods: Substrate suitability was determined through periodic assessment for survival, and measurement of body length, width and weight of H. illucens on each substrate in the laboratory. Results: Survival of H. illucens larvae and pre-pupae on maize flour, cowpea flour, over-ripe banana peels, amaranth leaves, watermelon peels, and bread was comparable to the control substrate (chicken feed). In contrast, survival of larvae to pre-pupae on cabbage and pineapple flesh was significantly lower than on the control. Generally, larvae and adults reared on chicken feed had significantly higher body size and weight compared to those on pineapple flesh or pineapple peels. Conclusion: Due to their inherently high moisture, low protein and low carbohydrate contents, pineapple flesh and pineapple peels are the least suitable substrates for H. illucens survival and growth in the study.

Wheat production is the most common edible crop in the world, accounting for one third of the world’s diet. Therefore, the main thesis of the development of modern crop production in Ukraine is to reduce costs and introduce innovative technologies for the production of quality wheat. The quality of grain and seed depends on many factors, namely: agro-climatic conditions, sowing condition of the seed material, quality characteristics of the soil, yielding properties of seeds, pre-sowing seed treatment. etc. For this purpose, the photosynthesis and intensity of photosynthesis need to be limited to the width of the leaf and the height of the leaves by a smaller cut of the stem. It is extremely important to ensure that the head and side pagons of wheat are in good condition. All parameters are often secured by the technology of grain preparation before delivery. Prior to this technology, it is possible to introduce processing of the material in the form for the development of the material. This article presents the effectiveness of the use of infrared irradiation for the pre-sowing treatment of winter wheat seeds in Sekobra Research, Germany.

This work was carried out from December 2016 to June 2017 in two different regions on the north of Tunisia belong to the Sub-humid bioclimatic stage on Beja and the Semi-arid bioclimatic stage on Oued Mliz. It aims to identify the varieties of chickpea adaptable on each bioclimatic stage and to evaluate the efficiency of water use for some varieties of chickpea. Indeed, analysis of yield parameters such as biological yields, weight of hundred seeds, seeds yield, number of seeds. All varieties were grown in rainfed conditions. For the sub-humid and semi-arid bioclimatic sites plant have received respectively an amount of water of 346 and 261mm. The results show that there is a significant correlation between these parameters. The cultivation of the collection of eight varieties of chickpea in rainfed soil showed an important adaptation to drought. The number of pods marked in Beja1 and Nayer varieties are the highest, because of the ability to fill the pods during the year. While other varieties have a lower number of pods indicating that spring drought could be the cause of high flower abortion, pericarp development and empty pod formation. This research revealed that in the sub-humid bioclimatic stage, all varieties adapt and produce better than on the semi-arid. The semi-arid Tunisian is characterized by the final drought which causes the hydrous stress at chickpea. The conduit of this last in these zones is dependent on the selection of the varieties early and resistant to the water deficit.

The issue of ASEAN food security has led to chemical pesticides-driven policy directives as economic convention for protecting crop yields while concomitantly conferring an implicit ecological and health risk-based ‘trade-off’ that works to undermine SDG target indicators 2.4, 3.9, and 6.3. In this study the Pesticides Consumer-Environmental Indexing System (PCE-ISys), a conceptual heuristic ‘systems-based’ framework is proposed to explore needed policy-informing option(s) beyond the largely cost-externalising rubric of chemical crop protection management, by indexing (the potential for and magnitude of potential) pesticides exposure (EIR-IS) using a semi-quantitative tiered percentile-based, continuous-to-discrete variable transform that captures the stochastic distribution arising from the ‘generalisable’ interconnectivity of political governance, agricultural economy, and natural environment. 1990-2016 indexing results revealed ‘high’ EIR-IS levels for 52% and 63% of Asia-Pacific and ASEAN nations, respectively, with 28% of Asia-Pacific countries scoring at ‘highest’ indexing levels demonstrating pervasive and expansive pesticides-use and/or tonnage contrary to IPM sustainable agricultural practices.

Thirteen exotic potato varieties along with four checks were evaluated at six agro-ecological locations of Bangladesh for three generations during 2015-16 to 2017-18 in order to identify table purpose and processing quality varieties. Results indicated significant variation among the varieties. Based on the results of the 1st year multi-location trial, seven superior ones were selected for further testing in AYT and RYT in next two years. In the SYT, varieties Farida and 7four7 were the highest yielders. In the AYT, the highest average yield over location was also produced by 7four7 (38.70 t/ha). Varieties Cimega and Memphis also gave comparable yields to that of 7four7 (37.33 and 36.67 t/ha, respectively). Considering the yield of the three generations, the above four varieties were significantly better than the checks. Considering the specific qualities, Farida was found most suitable for table purpose because of its high yield, medium-sized oval and smooth tubers with good eating quality. The variety Taisiya produced tubers with good size and shape, but low in dry matter content; so not suitable for processing. Memphis might be selected for French fry as it produces maximum large sized tubers with good long oval shape. On the other hand, variety Panamera is a high yielder but its plant type was undesirable. On the whole, varieties Cimega, 7four7 and Farida are suitable for table purpose, and Memphis may be selected for French fry under Bangladesh condition. None was found quite suitable for Chips preparation.
