Havoc of Papaya Mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) and Its Management Strategies
Abstract: The papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) is a serious problem that affects mulberries, citrus, and papaya among other agricultural and horticultural crops. Originating in Central America, it has spread around the world and caused extensive harm because of its capacity to consume plant sap, which results in reduced crop yields, fruit drop, and chlorosis. In addition, the insect releases honeydew, which encourages the development of sooty mold, further impeding photosynthesis and …

Anticancer, Nutritional & Other Therapeutic Potentials of Microgreens
Abstract: Microgreens are young, tender greens, immature greens (require light for photosynthesis and growing medium) that are developed from the seeds of cereals, herbs, legumes, and vegetables. These are used to enhance the color, texture, or flavor of salads and main dishes. The immature plants are harvested between 7 and 21 days, depending on the variety. They are referred to as "living superfoods," "functional foods," or "nutraceuticals," because they are rich …
