FOLIAR APPLICATION OF BORON IMPROVED THE YIELD AND QUALITY OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) IN A CALCAREOUS FIELD

Foliar application of boron improved the yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a calcareous field

Boron (B) is vital for crops and helps in grain setting, but its deficiency is increasing due to its fixation in calcareous soils of Pakistan which results in premature opening of spikelets and failure of grain production in wheat thus leading to the reduced crop yield and economic return.To overcome this problem, a field trial was carried out at A

Pyrethroid resistance alters the blood-feeding behavior in Puerto Rican Aedes aegypti mosquitoes exposed to treated fabric.

Emerging insecticide resistance is a major issue for vector control.It decreases the effectiveness of insecticides, thereby requiring greater quantities for comparable control with a net increase in risk of disease resurgence, product cost, and damage risk to the ecosystem.Pyrethroid resistance has been documented in Puerto Rican populations of Fre
