fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - Biological role

Phosphorus is a key element in all known forms of life. Inorganic phosphorus in the form of the phosphate PO43- plays a major role in biological molecules such as DNA and RNA where it forms part of the structural backbone of these molecules. Living cells also utilize phosphate to transport cellular energy via adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Nearly every cellular process that uses energy gets it in the form of ATP. ATP is also important for phosphorylation, a key regulatory event in cells. Phospholipids are the main struct ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Shampoo - Description

Shampoos are used to clean hair by stripping sebum from the hair. Sebum is naturally occurring oil that coats the hair and tends to collect dirt, styling products and scalp flakes. Surfactants clean hair by stripping sebum from hair shafts therefore removing the dirt attached to it. While both soaps and shampoos contain the cleaning agent surfactants, soap is specifically designed to clean t ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - Occurrence

Due to its reactivity to air and many other oxygen containing substances, phosphorus is not found free in nature but it is widely distributed in many different minerals. Phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite (an impure tri-calcium phosphate mineral) is an important commercial source of this element. Large deposits of apatite are in Russia, Morocco, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Utah, and elsewhere. There are however concerns over how long these phosphorus deposits will last. USA will deplete their deposits around 2035. China and Mo ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - History

Phosphorus (Greek phosphoros, meaning "light bearer" which was the ancient name for the planet Venus) was discovered by German alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669 through a preparation from urine. Working in Hamburg, Brand attempted to distill salts by evaporating urine, and in the process produced a white material that glowed in the dark and burned brilliantly. Since that time, phosphorescence has been used to describe substances t ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Shampoo - Specialized shampoos

There are shampoos available specifically for those who have dandruff. Such shampoos contain zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide etc. These chemicals are fungicides, and reduce dandruff by killing Malassezia furfur. Coal tar and salicylate derivatives are often used as well. Some companies use "all-natural" or "organic" or "botanical" ingredients, such as flowers and the like, often combining these additions with a harsher base. The actual effectiveness ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - Notable characteristics

Common phosphorus forms a waxy white solid that has a characteristic disagreeable smell similar to that of garlic. Pure forms of the element are colorless and transparent. This nonmetal is not soluble in water, but it is soluble in carbon disulfide. Pure phosphorus ignites spontaneously in air and burns to phosphorus pentoxide. Phosphorus - Forms. Phosphorus exists in three allotropic forms: white , red, and black . Other allotropic forms may exist. The most common are red and white phosphorus, both of whi ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Sulfur - Compounds

Hydrogen sulfide has the characteristic smell of rotten eggs. Dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is acidic and will react with metals to form a series of metal sulfides. Natural metal sulfides are common, especially those of iron. Iron sulfide is called pyrite, the so called fool's gold. Interestingly, pyrite can show semiconductor properties.[1] Galena, a naturally occurring lead sulfide, was the first semiconductor discovered, and found a use as a signal rectifier in the "cat' ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - History of aerial topdressing in New Zealand - The Mature Industry

By 1958 there were 73 aerial topdressing firms in New Zealand, flying 279 aircraft - but although the amount of superphospate dropped and the acreage it fell on would continue to increase, from now on the numbers of companies aircraft and pilots dropped, as the larger more expensive Fletchers came to dominate the market and the one man companies that began in the 1940s were amalgamated. By 1965, a million tons of superphospate was being dropped annually, spread over 9 million acres. The amount an aircraft dropped had increased from 2 ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Banana - Urban legends

In the 1940s and 1950s, an urban legend involved tarantulas hidden among bunches of bananas. While tarantulas do not hide in bananas, certain other large exotic spiders have been known to do so (see Brazilian wandering spider). These spiders are quite venomous and highly aggressive. It is also an urban legend that the dried skin of banana fruit is hallucinogenic when smoked. Unlike many urban legends, the origin of this one has been traced. It dates back to an article in the student newspaper Berkeley Barb in March 1967, which ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Banana - Attitudes toward bananas

Bananas are one of the most popular fruits among people of all origins. However, because of the stereotypical image of monkeys and apes eating bananas, they have been used as a means for racist insults, such as throwing bananas at sports players of African descent (e.g. [1]). Bananas are also humorously used as a phallic symbol (a metaphor for the human penis) due to similarities in size and shape. The depiction of a person slipping on a banana peel has been a staple of physical comedy for generations. A 1906 comedy record produced by ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - History of aerial topdressing in New Zealand - The Aircraft

By 1952 there were 38 firms in the business in New Zealand, operating 149 aircraft, of which 138 were Tiger Moths. A smattering of higher powered De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beavers were the only modern types. By 1956 there were 182 aerial topdressing Tigermoths but it was obvious the lightweight Tiger Moths would need to be replaced. At the begining of the 1950s there were no specialist designs for even crop dusters, due to the proliferation of wrold war II surplus trainers. But for topdressing something larger and more robust was needed. ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Lime sulfur - Safety

Lime sulfur reacts with strong acids (including stomach acid) to produce highly toxic hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg gas) and indeed usually has a distinct "rotten egg" odour to it. Lime sulfur is not extremely flammable but combustion produces highly irritating sulfur dioxide gas. Safety goggles and gloves should be worn while handling lime sulfur. Lime sulfur solutions are strongly alkaline (typical commercial concentrates have a pH over 11.5), and so it is corrosive to living things and can ca ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - History of aerial topdressing in New Zealand - The Supermen - private operators

Several factors lay behind the development of aerial topdressing in the apparent backwater of New Zealand. The New Zealand civil service gave its employees time and resources to pursue their ideas and publish research. Many farms included hill country, where it was impossible to spread fertiliser by truck. New Zealand farms tended to be large enough to make the costs worthwhile. High prices for lamb and wool in the early 1950s gave farmers the extra capital. W ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Banana - Effects of banana diseases in East Africa

Most bananas grown worldwide are used for local consumption. In the tropics, bananas, especially cooking bananas, represent a major source of food, as well as a major source of income for smallholder farmers. It is in the East African highlands that bananas reach their greatest importance as a staple food crop. In countries such as Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda per capita consumption has been estimated at 450kg per year, the highest in the world. Ug ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Banana - Banana pests and diseases

While in no danger of outright extinction, in the next 10-20 years the most common edible banana cultivar the 'Cavendish' could become unviable for large-scale cultivation. The predecessor to 'Cavendish', the cultivar 'Gros Michel', has already suffered this fate. The Cavendish banana is an extremely popular fruit in Europe and the Americas; unfortunately, like almost all bananas, it lacks genetic diversity which makes it vulnerable to diseases such as: Panama disease (Race 1) – fusarium wilt (a soil fungus). The fungus enters ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Cell wall - Algal cell walls

Like plants, algae have cell walls (Sendbusch, 2003). Algal cell walls contain cellulose and a variety of glycoproteins. The inclusion of addition polysaccharides in algal cells walls is used as a feature for algal taxonomy. Manosyl form microfibrils in the cell walls of a number of marine green algae including those from the genera, Codium, Dasycladus, and Acetabularia as well as in the walls of some red algae, like Porphyra and Bangia.

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Cell wall - Prokaryotic cell walls

Cell walls of bacteria are primarily used for protection against hostile environments or, in the case of pathogenic bacteria, against the immune system of the host. They contain peptidoglycan, which can be made visible in Gram-positive bacteria by Gram staining. The cell walls of bacteria are also vital for containing the high osmotic pressure inside bacterial cells caused by the high concentration of solutes in the cytoplasm. This pressure can often be as high as 15 atmospheres. Many antibiotics, including penicillin an ...

Not all species of fungi have cell walls but in those that do, the cell walls are composed of cellulose, glucosamine, and chitin, the same carbohydrate that gives strength to the exoskeletons of insects. They serve a similar purpose to those of plant cells, giving fungal cells rigidity and strength to hold their shape and preventing osmotic lysis. It also limits the entry of molecules that may be toxic to the fungus, like plant-produced and synthetic fungicides. The composition, properties, and form of the fungal cell wall change during ...

fungicides: Encyclopedia II - Banana - Banana trade

Bananas are among the most widely consumed foods in the world, and the only fruit to appear in the top ten biggest food crops. However, many banana farmers receive a low price for their produce. Large chain store retailers leverage their size to negotiate lower year round contract prices for bananas. Marketers of bananas thus have reduced their margins which in turn has led to more pressure to lower prices to growers. Dole, Chiquita and Del Monte grow their own bananas in Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras. Banana plantati ...
