ABSTRACT: This study was conducted during two successive seasons (2013 and 2014) at Baloza, North Sinai governorate, Egypt. The aim of this research is to study the effect of spraying pear trees with some natural plants extracts on yield, fruit quality and fire blight infection of Le-Conte cultivar. Seven treatments were done as follows: control treatment (spraying with water), garlic extract at (2 and 4 %), moringa extract at (2 and 4 %) and licorice extract at (2 and 4g/ L.). All treatments were sprayed once every month started form January until the harvest time (July).The obtained results revealed that all treatments were very effective in stimulating growth parameters (leaf area, chlorophyll, shoot length, shoot diameter, leaf mineral contents (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), yield, physical and chemical characteristics and fire blight infection of the fruits. Generally, licorice extract at (4g/ L.) increased the leaf area, chlorophyll, shoot length, shoot diameter in both seasons. In addition, moringa extract at (4%) improved leaf mineral content (N, P and K), yield/ tree, number of fruits /tree, fruit length, diameter, shape, weight, volume, T.S.S., total sugar, vitamin C, and decreased total acidity. On the other hand, garlic extract at (4%) gave the highest number and percentage of healthy fruits.

Key word: garlic extract, licorice extract, moringa extract, Le-Conte "pear".

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2008-09 to study the effect of drip irrigation and fertilizer management on Capsicum at Research area farms of Assam Agriculture University Jorhat (Assam) India. Result reviled that the effect of drip irrigation and fertilizer management treatments (T3) were significant in respect of percent nitrogen content both in plant (2.18%) and fruits (1.19%). Similarly the highest uptake af p2o5 by plants (7.37 kg/ha) and by fruits (3.64 kg/ha) k2o by plant (47.05 kg/ha) and by fruits (26.07 kg/ha) recorded in treatment T3 at 100% EPR alone with the application of 75% RD of N and K through drip. The total Uptake of N (69.16 kg/ha) p2o 5 (11.0 kg/ha) and K20 (73.12 kg/ha) were also significant over the treatment T9 (N-48.27 kg/ha)p2o 5 (7.41 kg/ha) and K2o (48.85 kg/ha) respectively. The nutrient status determined in terms of available N, p2o 5, and K+O in kg/ha was significantly influenced by different drip irrigation and fertilizer management significantly highest fruit yield (87.20 q/ha) was recorded in drip irrigation at 100 EPR along application of 75 % Rd of N through drip irrigation over treatments.

ABSTRACT: Uterine prolapse is a common obstetrical problem, which adversely affects productive and reproductive performance of cattle by affecting postpartum return to estrus, conception rate and calving interval and the incidence of uterine prolapse as 42.9% among various obstetrical problems in cattle. In this study total uterine prolapse, replacement of everted organ of uterine proplase was done manually following proper precautionary measures. In this case of uterine prolapse was completely recovered.
