ABSTRACT:
The present
study was
carried out
to test the
infectivity of three
native EPNs
namely,
Heterorhabditis indica
(strain
ICAR-NBAIR), Heterorhabditis
bacteriophora, Steinernema
carpocapsae powder formulation
against cardamom root grub. The attachment to and rate of
penetration of
these EPNs
into tested
insect was
also
undertaken. Penetration
of the IJs
of
Heterorhabditis indica Showed
highest
penetration and
was superior
to
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. and
Steinernema
carpocapsae never the
less the
rate of
penetration is also depending on the
IJs infection strategies. EPN application involves implanting
novel powder
formulation at plant base that can be done with ease and fast
and saves a lot of labour The WP formulation was
found very
effective in
root grub management
that reduced
the cost
of production
and mitigated
the use
of pesticides
(fipronil, chlorpyriphos, phorate)
in small
cardamom. Therefore, it is concluded that cardamom root
grub was susceptible to tested EPNs, there were differences among these EPNs in their ability to kill
the insect. Among test EPNs,
Heterorhabditis indica (strain ICAR-NBAIR) and
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (strain ICAR-
NBAIR) appears to be the most promising EPN against root
grub. EPN is ecologically safe,
effective,
sustainable and on-farm recyclable
green
technologies for
small cardamom. EPNs
constitute a cost-effective, value-added approach to
promote sustainable agriculture in small
cardamom plantation.

Analytical study of the
competitiveness
of Egyptian medicinal and aromatic plants in
the world markets

Abstract:
The
state is promoting non-traditional crops like medicinal and
aromatic plants to advance development and increase foreign
exchange earnings. However, the rate of expansion in production
is not aligned with world demand and export quantity, with about
0.15% decrease in total production. The research aims to study
the production and export situation of these plants on the level
of the world and locally, as well as the geographical
distribution of Egyptian exports. Egypt's contribution to world
production is about 2.3%, with domestic and world production
growth rates of about 1.8% and 11.2%, respectively. The
geographical distribution of Egyptian exports increases export
opportunities and maintains stability. The world demand for
medicinal and aromatic plant fruits is increasing by about 19
thousand tons annually, with a stable growth rate of about 5%.
Egyptian exports have permeability to world markets and price
competitive advantages in their key markets. World demand for
medicinal and aromatic plant leaves and flowers is increasing by
about 14.5 thousand tons annually, with a 2.3% growth rate.
Egyptian exports have permeability to world markets and price
competitive advantages, particularly in the German market.

Role of L- Carnitine as Adjuvant Therapy with Letrozole for
Ovulation Induction in Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
(PCOS)

Abstract: Background:
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine
disorder that impacts females who are in their reproductive
years. There was a correlation between this syndrome and the
presence of bigger and dysfunctional ovaries, higher
concentration of androgens, insulin resistance and several other
significant variables associated with the condition.
L-carnitine (LC)is a small molecule
that is soluble in water and has a crucial role in the breakdown
of fats and the production of energy through the oxidation of
fatty acids in mitochondria. L-carnitine has the potential to
enhance ovarian function and boost the risk of a successful
pregnancy. Aim of the work: To assess the
effect of adding L-carnitine with letrozole for inducing
ovulation in females with polycystic ovary syndrome, we examined
the changes in endometrial thickness as well as ovulation rate,
clinical and chemical pregnancy. Patients and Methods:
blinded randomized controlled investigation, whereas two hundred
females with PCOS diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria
(2003), were shared and equally distributed to double
groups, each group involved one hundred females. The first group
added L-carnitine to letrozole, while the second group took
letrozole alone with an evaluation of ovulation induction.
Results: The accumulated ovulation
rate was statistically significantly raised in the first group
than in the second group. Also, accumulated chemical and
clinical pregnancy rates were higher in the first group than in
the second group. The endometrial thickness was
highly statistically significantly reduced in the participants
of first group compared to the participants of second group.
Conclusions: The evaluated variables of the research
results demonstrated that adding L-carnitine to letrozole
throughout ovulation induction in polycystic ovarian syndrome
patients improved the endometrial thickness, ovulation rate,
clinical and chemical pregnancy rates.

An analytical study of the most important variables affecting
agricultural investment in Egypt

Abstract:
The research aims to study the most important variables
affecting agricultural investment, and measure indicators of
agricultural investment efficiency and the geographical
distribution of the most important agricultural investment
projects. The results of the research indicate an increase in
agricultural investments, agricultural domestic product,
agricultural income, the value of exports and imports, crop
area, the interest rate on agricultural investment loans, the
value of agricultural loans, and the rate of Inflation and the
value of worker productivity, and the efficiency of agricultural
investment is demonstrated by measuring its indicators
represented in the investment rate, return on investment,
settlement coefficient, employment coefficient, and investment
multiplier. The results showed that the most influential
variables on agricultural investment are the value of
agricultural domestic product and the value of agricultural
loans. It was also found that the most agricultural investment
projects were businesses related to agriculture, livestock,
youth loans, the social fund, and loans guaranteed by deposits,
with percentages amounting to about 46.7%, 39.3%, 5.99%, and
4.87%, respectively, of the total value of loans. The five
governorates that used these loans the most were Behera, then
Dakahlia, followed by Gharbia, Sharqia, and Menoufia, with a
total percentage of 54.9% of the total value of loans. The
research recommended increasing agricultural investments, paying
attention to long-term investments and directing them to major
projects, land reclamation, and increasing investment in the
governorates of Ismailia, Sinai, and the Canal cities due to the
low percentage of investments there.
