  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers The rise in number of sachet water producers in Kano state calls for continuous and vigorous surveillance of the quality of water consumed by the populace to ensure compliance with the WHO and NAFDAC standards for such products. This study assessed the quality of sixteen brands of sachet water sold in Kumbotso LGA of Kano State, Nigeria. Physical assay, physico-chemical, heavy metal contents and microbiological quality assessments of the water samples were carried out. Not all the water samples examined contained any information on their manufacturing and/or expiry dates. The pH, temperature, conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS) of all the sachet water brands conformed to the WHO standards. All the five heavy metals (arsenic, lead, iron, copper and zinc) analyzed are observed to be within the safety limits recommended by WHO, however Coliforms and some other pathogenic bacteria were detected in 31% o...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers The biological control programs for insects-pest using parasitoids, have gone through an evolution, from the seventies to the present in Latin America. In this way and in consideration to the challenges encountered in the sustainable agricultural production, the implementation of biological control in insects-pest stands out as an alternative for the sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems, promoting a reduction in the use of insecticides of synthetic origin. This biological alternative consists of different stages for its implementation: 1) The systematization of parasitoid production under controlled abiotic conditions; 2) The quality control of parasitoids produced under abiotic conditions; 3) The release of these control agents and the population reduction of insects-pest in crops production areas. The studies conducted by Prof. Parra from the University of São Paulo (ESALQ-USP), Brazil [1] and ...

 

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Trichoderma spp. are used extensively in agriculture as a biological control agent to prevent soil-borne plant diseases. In recent years, mycoviruses from fungi have attracted increasing attention due to their effects on their hosts, but Trichoderma mycoviruses is in the beginning stage as the subject of extensive study. At present, eight researches were on the mycoviruses from Trichoderma spp. techniques of genome sequencing, elimination of dsRNA, detection of dsRNA, transmission of mycovirus were elaborated. With the deep research on the mycovirus, more and more effective methods for these basic researches should be applied. The topics about antagonism and biocontrol function of mycovirus will better push the deep exploration on the interaction among Trichoderma -mycovirus-plant (or pathogen), which also will have the driving role on seeking and screening more resources of Trichoderm spp. possessing bio...
