ABSTRACT: Background: This work aims to evaluate under laboratory conditions the insecticidal effect of Basalte, which is a volcanic rock and a natural fertilizer rich in nutriments and employed to improve crops growth, on insect pests of stored wheat ; Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae) and Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). Three treatments were applied: T0: without "Farina di Basalto®" (Control), T1: 3% of "Farina di Basalto®", T2: 1.5% of "Farina di Basalto®".Obtained results showed that the fertilizer causes the mortality of the three pest species. Regarding T. castaneum, mortality rates observed for the control were always about 0% until the fifth day of observations. However, in treated units, insect mortality rates were about 40 and 16.6% respectively for 3 and 1.5% of basalt powder just one day after the trial and increased....

ABSTRACT: Efficacy of BAU-Biofungicide (a Trichoderma based preparation), aqueous extracts of Neem and Garlic clove and an inducer Bion were evaluated in the field as seed-treatment or seed-treatment along with foliar application to manage leaf blight disease of wheat caused by Biopolaris sorokiniana in cv. Kanchan from November, 2015 to April, 2018 in Dhynna Rampal Block, Tangail, Bangladesh. In addition, a chemical fungicide (Tilt) was used as positive control and an untreated negative control were included in the experiment. Three years of field trials, seed treatment with BAU-Biofungicide (3%) resulted significant effect in increasing seedlings emergence /10m2 and reducing seedling mortality. Seed treatment with BAU-Biofungicide plus BAU-Biofungicide spray, yielded the highest plant height, number of effective tillers/m2 and length of ear in comparable to Tilt and other treatments.......

ABSTRACT: A male, Mullinoise breed police (K9) dog, 25 kg weight and of 3 years old, had been brought to the Veterinary Clinical Consult Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Basrah, Iraq, with patient history and signs of loss of appetite, emaciation, anemia, and hemoglobinuria. Complete clinical examinations were performed for the diseased dog. On clinical examinations, diseased animal show signs of Complete loss of appetite, Pale of mucus membranes, Severe emaciation and weakness, Panting with the abdominal type of respiration and Hemoglobinuria, Moreover, fever, increase respiratory and heart rate was also indicated in the diseased animal. Furthermore, Normocytic normochromic anemia with lymphocytosis and a total parasitemia of 5% as well as, Hypoprotenemia, Hyperbilirubinemia......
