INTERACTIONS BETWEEN BARLEY YELLOW DWARF VIRUS, APHIDS AND CLADOSPORIUM ON CEREALS

ABSTRACTField experiments in 1979 revealed that higher populations of Metopolphium dirhodum (Wlk.) developed on barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV)-infected winter wheat and oats than on healthy plants. More Sitobion avenae (L.) were similarly recorded in 1980 on BYDV-infected winter wheat, oats and...

DETERMINATION OF OXYTETRACYCLINE RESIDUES IN THE BLOOD AND OTHER TISSUES OFCHICKEN (Callus domesticus L)

ABSTRACTDue Co the oxytetracycline's usefulness and availability, its effect in a local food animal (Chicken: Gallus domesticus L) was investigated, and the residual drug level in the tissues, assessed. Seventy-two young broiler-type chick (of both sexes) were used for the experiment. They were h...
