Development and reprotuction of Spodoptera eridania on natural hosts and artificial diet

Braz. j. biol; 79 (1), 2019
Abstract The development and reproductive potential of Spodoptera eridania (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) was compared on natural and artificial diets. Its biology was determined under laboratory conditions, providing an artificial diet, leaves of white clover and the peach cultivar 'Chimarrita'...

Effects of deficit irrigation and kaolin application on vegetative growth and fruit traits of two early ripening apple cultivars

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Drought is one of the main serious problems for agriculture production which its intensity is increasing in many parts of the world, hence, improving water use efficiency is a main goal for sustainable agriculture. RESULTS: Growth indices including relative shoot length growth (SL), relative ...

Apple juice and other fluids administered for the treatment of mild gastroenteritis in children were not inferior to the electrolyte maintenance solution

Inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris ATCC 49025 spores in apple juice by pulsed light: Influence of initial contamination and required reduction levels

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (1), 2018
The purpose of this study was to analyze the response of different initial contamination levels of Alicydobadllus acidoterrestris ATCC 49025 spores in apple juice as affected by pulsed light treatment (PL, batch mode, xenon lamp, 3pulses/s, 0-71.6 J/cm²). Biphasic and Weibull frequency distribution mode...

Isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes in an apple orchard in Southern Brazil and its virulence to Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) larvae, under laboratory conditions

Braz. j. biol; 77 (1), 2017
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are a promising alternative to integrated control in many fruit pests. Few studies were made on the relationship of Anastrepha fraterculus natural population with native EPNs population and other biotic and abiotic factors. The aim of this work was to verify the...

Isolation and characterization of yeasts from fermented apple bagasse as additives for ruminant feeding

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Solid-state fermentation can be used to produce feeds for ruminants, which can provide an enriched population of yeasts to improve ruminal fermentation. Fermentation of apple bagasse was performed to obtain a yeast-rich product, with the objective of isolating, identifying, and characterizing ye...

Effects of the protective, curative, and eradicative applications of chitosan against Penicillium expansum in apples

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Apple is one of the most important temperate fruit to Brazil economy, and the use of synthetic chemicals has been the main method for reducing postharvest diseases, such as the blue mold, caused by Penicillium expansum. This work intends to evaluate the practical utilization of chitosan for blue...

Possibility of using apple pomaces in the process of propionic-acetic fermentation

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (5), 2016
Background: In 2014, apple production in EU countries amounted to 11.8 million tonnes. A constant increase in the production of these fruits will lead to the accumulation of thousands of tonnes of apple pomace (production waste). The amount of industrial apples is the highest - their proportiononthe mark...
