Influence of Different Mulches on Weed Dynamics and Yield of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Malini) in Chitwan, Nepal
Abstract: AbstractAn experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching materials on weed dynamics and yield characters of Malini variety of cucumber under drip irrigation condition during Feb to May 2018 in Chitwan district, Nepal. The experiment was laid in one factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications. Four different mulching materials- silver on black polyethylene mulch, black polyethylene mulch, rice straw mulch and rice husk mulch were …

Studies on the antioxidant content and antimicrobial activity of cucumber (cucumissativus) peel collected from bagmari, kolkata, west bengal, india
Abstract: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is widely consumed across the globe, yet its peels are commonly discarded as waste, despite possessing a wealth of bioactive compounds. Recent studies have highlighted that these peels contain substantial amounts of antioxidants, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties, making them a promising candidate for value-added applications. In this study, methanolic extracts (80% v/v) of cucumber peels were systematically analyzed to assess their total phenolic content (TPC), total …

Viral Elimination Strategies for Musa spp.
Abstract: Banana is one of the major crops in tropical parts of the world. The banana plant is susceptible to many diseases due to the less genetic diversity in its popular cultivars. Particularly viral diseases can severely destruct quantity and quality of the crop. Four major banana infecting viruses doing the damage- banana bunchy top virus, banana streak virus, banana bract mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus; two other viruses- banana mild …

Cucumis Sativus: A Review
Abstract: The family Cucurbitaceae includes the cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). 30 species of Cucumis are distributed in Africa and Asia. One of the first vegetables to be farmed, cucumbers are native to the tropics. It has almost 3,000 years of historical documentation (Yawalkar, 1985). Widespread cultivation of Cucumis sativus (CS) is found in Bangladesh (including the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Gazipur, Sherpur, Cox's Bazar, Tangail, and other forests), the Indian subcontinent, and …

Farmers’ Knowledge on Cucurbits Fruit Fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae, Conquillet) and their Management at Lamjung District
Abstract: Cucurbit fruit fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae) is major problem of cucurbit vegetables. A random survey was conducted among 60 respondents of semi-commercial and commercial cucurbit vegetable growers in Lamjung district from January to February 2018. Semi-structured questionnaire designed in open and closed-ended questions which were used to assess farmer’s knowledge on cucurbit fruit fly and their management practices. The result revealed that 65% respondents prefer to grow cucumber. Similarly, 81% of …

Valorization of Fruit and Vegetable Wastes for CA Production: A Comprehensive Review with Emphasis on Aspergillus niger Bioprocessing and Future Prospects
Abstract: Citric Acid (CA) is a multifunctional organic acid with diverse industrial applications, recently gaining prominence in polymer and composite science as a green crosslinker, compatibilizer, and functional additive. Conventionally produced through submerged fermentation of refined sugars by Aspergillus niger, industrial CA production faces sustainability challenges due to reliance on food-grade substrates. This review highlights emerging strategies for CA biosynthesis from vegetable and fruit processing residues—including cucumber peels, broccoli stalks, spinach …

Enzymes used in Alcohol Fermentation
Abstract: Fermentation is the process that uses enzymes to cause chemical reactions in biomass feedstocks. In biochemistry, it is defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. The science of fermentation is known as zymology. Cellular respiration is the process in which a carbohydrate, like starch or sugar, is converted into an alcohol or an enzyme by an organism. Fermentation is a process in which yeast …

Experimental Studies and in silico Analysis on Quarum Sensing and System Simulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogenic bacterium present in human microbial flora, biofilms, soil and water associated and support self microbial communications and survilance. The present study shows estimated protein concentration present in two days grown in Mullar hinton broth was resulted around 32.5 mg/ml. The studies in protein interaction on X-ray film with aqueous fruit and vegetable extracts showed good results with apple, straw berry, cucumber, grape, orrange, …

Production, Estimation and Protein Network Studies of Bioethanol Fermented Media from Maduca Longifolia Produced by Surface Fermentation using Candida Albicans
Abstract: Candida albicans is a fungus that is used as industrially important species in fermentation productions from past several decades. In the present experimentation, Madhuca longifolia dried flowers with Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively are used as cultures and was analyzed for bioethanol production. Bioethanol produced in M. longifolia+yeast with about 40% was more compared with other samples. M. longifolia+ Pseudomonas showed 20% ethanol, M. longifolia+ candida 14% …
