I need help in our reseach. Does anybody know how to assess the percent diseased area in 'Carabao' mangoes? I really need your help. Thanx in advance.

I would use a quadrat system to assess the diseased area of anything. Exactly how you might do that would depend on the degree of accuracy you need and the time you have.\n\nyou could adapt the method to suit your needs, either using photographs with grids printed or maybe if you want to be more accrate, peeling the skins to spread them out and projecting a grid onto them?

There is not a lot of information out there on GE foods. Some of the testing has been stopped because the results were not what the GE companies wanted. You could start by looking at "Seeds of Deception" by Jeffery M Smith.(copywrite 2003) It does not talk about fruits specifically, but does discuss some potential effects of genetic engineering. There is also an extensive bibliography with some references from 2002.

The trees have to be protected from a serious fungal infection called `Koleroga' or fruit rot and it can be prevented by using some eco-friendly strategies.It is spread by  the fungus Phytophthora palmivora.Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.Plant resistent varieties like Mangala, Sumangala, Sreemangala and Mohitnagar.Select sites with deep well drained soil without high water table. Provide adequate irrigation facilities.Sow selected seed nuts soon after harvest in nursery bed with stalk-end up and with a spacing of 5-6 cm. Cover the seed nuts with sand and irrigate daily.Transplant 90 day old sprouts having 2-3 leaves to the secondary nursery. Prepare secondary nursery beds of 150 cm width and of convenient length. Apply cattle manure @ 5 t/ha as basal dose. Transplant sprouts at a spacing of 30 x 30 cm. Provide shade by growing banana, Coccinia indica etc or by means of artificial pandal. Plant banana in advance at a spacing of 2.7 x 3.6 m when it is grown as a shade crop. Provide irrigation during hot and dry periods and drainage during monsoon. Periodical weeding and mulching are necessary.Spray Bordeaux mixture 1% on all bunches three times in a year, one just before the onset of southwest monsoon and the rest at 40 days intervals. If monsoon season is prolonged give a third spray. Use rosin soda adhesive to ensure tenacity of the spray deposit on treated substrate. Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.

AA = p(squared)\nAa = 2pq\naa = q(squared)\np + q = 1\n\nFirst you need to interpret "9% have the disease". This means that 9% of the population have both recessive alleles, which means the frequency of aa is 0.09. You are asked to calculate the percentage (or frequency) of the resistant (or dominant allele), which is denoted A. So by using the above equations:\n\naa = 0.09, which can also be expressed as a(squared) = 0.09\n\na = square root of a(squared) = square root of 0.09 = 0.3\n\nThe recessive allele (a in this case) is always donated by q, and the dominant allele (A in this case) is always denoted by p. So therefore; a = q.\n\np + q = 1\np + 0.3 = 1\np = 1 - 0.3\np = 0.7\n\nSince p = A, the frequency of the dominant allele (A) equals 0.7

If you want to take help of stats then use the concept of quartiles.\n\nHere you will get three categories but they will not be equal.\nFirst one will contain lower 25% of values,\nSecond one will contain mid 50% of values,\nWhile last one will contain upper 25% of values.\n\n\nBy the way do you have any information about RUCHA VAIDYA smallest yet the brightest star? She has acted in movies like Ek Ajnabee and Main Aisa Hi Hoon. She has also done innumerable ads on TV. Please reply if you have any information about her. Absolutely any Kind of good information about her (even anything personal) is acceptable. Please answer my this question from celebrity or movies section. Please Please Please reply

When was this person an active botanist? I know a few Filipino botanists and know of many from the past ... but I have not heard of an Escudero ...

hi kabayan...well, for sure you can put our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, he's one of amongst many Filipino biologist. he got this butterfly collection and stuff, some of them even got Rizal's name on its scientific names. for the rest of other biologists, forgot it already, but i can give you some tip where you can find it...check the last pages of Batobalani magazines...they featured Filipino inventors and scientist in there...

I have taken numerous cardiac classes and would like to help you, but I need more information. What do you mean "working off 60% of its power"? Did your specialist measure your MABP? If you'd like to give me more info so I can help you out you can e-mail me @ mary.edwards4543@my.sinclair.edu

There's entirely too much information available on this subject.  I suggest you start with a simple internet search with using words or phrases like 'tropical deforestation issues' or 'impact of tropical deforestation'.  There's a ton of info to find.  Also try your local library.  I'm sure there are tons of magazine and journal articles written on the subject.

here is a good one.  Buy some jalapenos, with a sewing needle or like needle stab it several times making sure holes are not too noticeable.  then go to him and hand it to him while asking him if he could tell you what kind of vegetable it is.  after he hands it back tell him he has a black smudge between his nose and his eye.  then he will probably rub it :)
