EFFECTS OF HEMIZYGIA WELWITSCHII LEAF EXTRACT FRACTIONS ON POSTHARVEST INFESTATION OF MAIZE BY SITOPHILUS ZEAMAIS MOTSCULSKY (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)

Effects of Hemizygia welwitschii leaf extract fractions on postharvest infestation of maize by Sitophilus zeamais Motsculsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

As part of on-going efforts to use eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides, leaf powder of Hemizygia welwitschii was sequentially extracted in hexane, acetone and methanol.Bioassays were carried out to establish the most active fraction(s) against Sitophilus zeamais in maize.Maize grains (50 g) were treated with concentrations within Outdo

Three weak solutions for degenerate weighted quasilinear elliptic equations with indefinite weights and variable exponents

This paper explores Guide Rail the multiplicity of weak solutions to a class of weighted elliptic problems with variable exponents, incorporating a Hardy term and a nonlinear indefinite source term.Using critical point theory applied to the associated energy functional, we establish the existence of at least three weak solutions under general assum
