A pot experiment was conducted in a green house at Tishreen University in which bread
wheat (cv. Sham 6) was grown at different levels of potassium nutrition (K0=0, K1=25,
K2=50, K3=75, K4=100, K5=150) mg k/kg soil. The increase in potassium fertil
ization
rates led to a significant increase in the number of total tillers and fertile tillers on the
expense of non-fertile tillers. This was accompanied with no significant increase in
number of main stems spikes grains, while the tillers spikes of the first level of potassium
application (K1) was higher significantly compared to control treatment (K0). The same
treatment (K1) gave the best weight of grain on the main stems spikes and tillers. The
productivity of grain yield increased (but non-significantly) with increasing the level of
potassium fertilization. The highest yield value was obtained in K5 treatment which was
13933 kg /ha. This productivity constitutes a rate of increase 18% compared to the control
treatment (K0). The calculation of Agronomic Efficiency (AE) showed a high value of
(about 13 kg seeds/kg of K fertilizer added) in the K1 treatment, and thereafter, AE
gradually decreased with potassium fertilization to reach about 6 kg grain/kg K fertilizer
for K4 and K5 treatments (100 and 150 mg K/kg).
A prospective study included eighty tow patients (57 male) the range
ages were (42 year) underwent surgery and developed postoperative
enterocutaneous fistulas in the department of general surgery in Alasad
and Almuasat Universitiys Hospitals betw
een 2014 and 2016 .After the
diagnosis performed ,They were approached according to specific strategy,
and determined the onset of developing the enterocutaneous fistulas
from the surgical procedure. the rate of developing in the first week
was 68.2%. Accompanied symptoms and resulted complications were
studied and classified according to an essential criteria.
Macrolophus caliginosus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a zoophytophagous predator
widely used in integrated pest management programs in both greenhouse and open-field .
Mass rearing of Macrolophus caliginosus is greatly dependent on Ephestia kuehniella
Z
eller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs as food source. Moreover, the addition of this
factitious prey after the inoculative releases of Macrolophus caliginosus under field
conditions is recommended to facilitate establishment of this mirid. However, E.
kuehniella eggs are expensive and availability is limited. One possible strategy to reduce
the amount of E. kuehniella eggs needed is the provision of sugar.This study was
conducted during the period between May and November in 2014 in the labs of the
Lattakia center of rearing bio enemis. In this work, the effect of sucrose as nutritional
supplement on selected life-history traits of M.caligenosus was studied. The addition of
sucrose (100 g/l) ad libitum to a diet of E. kuehniella eggs significantly increased the
progeny of Macrolophus caliginosus and did not affect survival of nymphs nor
developmental time. Moreover, addition of sucrose significantly reduced the number of E.
kuehniella eggs consumed. These results may have practical implications of interest in
mass rearing systems of M.caliginosus and its management in fields and greenhouses as a
part of integrated control programs.
Field experiment was conducted during the season (2011 – 2012) at Bhanine village
in Tartous city. Maize seeds of Ghouta 82 variety were planted in plastic pots filled with
calcareous soil .Treatments including three levels of B (0, 3, and 6 kg.ha−
1) and four levels
of Zn (0, 8, 16 and 24 kg.ha−1) added to the soil, in a completely randomized block design
with three replications, to study the effect of different levels of boron and zinc and their
interactions on maize content of some nutrients. Results of this study showed that there
was a clear effect of B and Zn and their interactions in soil on leaf content of Mn, Fe and
Cu. High amounts of zinc in the soil had a clear effect on reduced leaves content of B and
increased its content of K. The presence of a of B in the soil, assisted to increasing of leaf
N content. There was a significant effect of B and Zn interaction on leaf content of Zn, and
no effect on leaf P content.
One-hundred twenty-five random samples of fresh meat were aseptically
collected from different shops and supermarkets distributed in Taif
governorate. The samples were examined bacteriologically for aerobic plate
counts, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphy
lococcus aureus, and Lactobacillaceae counts,
and for isolation and identification the bacterial strains detected.
The aerobic plate count ranged from 3 ×103to 107/ g. The counts of
Enterobacteriaceae, ranged from 6×106to 3×106/g, whereas the counts of
Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 7 ×104 to 5×106/g. On the other hand, the
counts of Lactobacillaceae ranged from 7 ×104to 4×106/g
The bacterial counts of fresh chicken meat ranged from 5×104 to 15-
25×106/cm2.
