Naturally-Occurring Entomopathogenic Fungi on Three Bark Beetle Species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Bulgaria
Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) belong to one of the most damaging
groups of forest insects and the activity of their natural enemies – pathogens, parasitoids,
parasites or predators suppressing their ...
Efficacy of Different Lambda-Cyhalothrin Formulations against Ticks
Ticks (Acari:Ixodida) are arthropods of special biomedical importance, well known as
transmitters of several zoonotic diseases. Various acaricides have been used to control
them but their number has decreased over the ...
In vitro Toxicity of Fungicides of Different Mode of Action to Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach
Isolates of Agaricus bisporus strains F56 and U3 were tested for sensitivity to several
selected fungicides in vitro. The analysis showed that flusilasole + carbendazim and cyproconazole
+ carbendazim were the most toxic ...
Preliminary Results on the Phytophagous Insect Fauna on Onopordum acanthium (Asteraceae) in Bulgaria
The Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium (Asteraceae) has the Eurasian origin and
represents an invasive weed in the USA and Australia. It is a serious problem in pastures,
along roadsides, rangeland, etc. The weed is ...
Mathematical Modeling of Physical Properties of Indian Mangoes Using Image Processing Method for Machine Vision Systems
Mathematical modeling study was carried out with the measured physical properties of two varieties of Indian mangoes as a function of projected area (Pip) calculated using image processing technique. Three models viz. ...

Development of Pedal Operated Syzygium Cumini Tree Shaker with Catching Unit
The objective of this research work was to develop a pedal operated tree shaker for jamun (Syzygium cumini) fruit harvesting. The prototype machine was constructed and tested on jamun fruit. The tree shaker was powered by ...
Development of Soil Profile Temperature Prediction Models for Bare and Solarized Field Conditions
Soil solarization is a simple and effective technique for controlling problems like weeds and soil borne pathogens by means of increasing moist soil temperature through trapping heat by using the thin transparent polyethylene ...
Optimization of the Electrical Parameters of Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
We used the AFORS-HET simulation program for hetero-junction solar cells modeling to determine how the thickness and material properties of the n-, i-, and p-layers affect the electrical parameters and the device performance. ...
Fusarium oxysporum as Causal Agent of Tomato Wilt and Fruit Rot
Tomatoes are parasitized by a number of pathogens, including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
lycopersici, causal agent of fusarium wilt. Fresh vegetable fruits can be contaminated with various
fungi that produce mycotoxins, ...
