    Efficacy of Electrolyzed Water in Degrading and Removing

    EFFICACY OF ELECTROLYZED WATER IN DEGRADING AND REMOVING PESTICIDE RESIDUES ON FRESH PRODUCE By HANG QI (Under the Direction of Yen-Con Hung) ABSTRACT Pure solution of diazinon, cyprodinil, and phosmet were treated with electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water and electrolyzed reduced (ER) water. Lower pH, higher available chlorine content (ACC), and longer treatment time of EO water resulted in higher reductions of the three pesticides. ER water was effective in degrading phosmet, slightly effective in reducing diazinon, and ineffective in degrading cyprodinil. Soaking grapes in 12 mg/L mixed pesticide solution for 10 min was found to be the appropriate method for pesticide inoculation. EO water at 500 mL combined with 100 rpm shaking was determined to be the most effective way to wash 200 g contaminated grapes. Then, fresh grapes, spinach, and snap peas contaminated with the three pesticides were washed with EO water at different ACC and treatment time. The results showed both ACC and treatment time were significant (P ≤ 0.05) factors for EO water in removing the three pesticide residues on produce samples. EO water was more effective than ER water, diluted bleach, Vegwash and DI water. Finally, the effect of EO water treatment on produce quality was evaluated. No significant (P > 0.05) color and texture degradation was found for EO water treated produce samples.

  • And There Were Mushrooms…

    And There Were Mushrooms…

    VOLUME 53: 4 November-December 2013 www.namyco.org Ozarks Were Really Fun! And There Were Mushrooms… By NAMA President, David Rust From the plane coming into Little Rock, we could see a lot of green: to the north where the Ozarks begin, trees and waterways dominated the landscape. We could see right off that Shepherd of the Ozarks would serve as a beautiful base camp for a foray. Big Creek, which runs through the property, has cut through the layers of lime- stone over time, creating a beautiful backdrop. Trees were turning color, and frost touched the meadow. On the first evening, Theo Witsell, botanist from the Arkansas Heritage Program, presented a look at local ge- ology, habitats and the diverse botany of Arkansas, focusing first on the larger picture of plateaus, river bottoms, prairies and woodlands, and finishing with a breathtaking display of rare plants. Friday morning we ventured out into places like Gunner Pool, Barkshed Creek, Blanchard Caverns, Leatherwood Wilderness Area, Buffalo River, Ozark National Forest, Woolly Hollow, and Moccasin Springs. And there were mushrooms. Before this year’s foray, Searcy County had only five records of fungi. The initial tally for this foray is 280 species and counting, with an expected boost from participants in the PolyPeet Project, who scoured the woods for poly- pores and inspected incoming foray collections. Alfredo Justo led a team from Clark University’s Hibbett Lab. The goal of the PolyPeet Project is to study the taxonomy and evolution of Polyporales, and produce comprehen- sive modern monographs in selected genera. We found mushrooms like Russula flavida, Lactarius in- digo, Amanita daucipes, and Amanita polypyramis, Daeda- leopsis confragosa, Craterellus ignicolor, Cortinarius scau- rotraganoides, Polyporus radicatus, and a beautiful purple collection of Pseudobaeospora.

GARDNER The Homobasidiomycetes comprises those Basidiomycetes charac­ terized by simple basidia and basidiospores which do not, as a rule, germinate by repetition but produce a mycelium directly. According to the current treatment followed in this laboratory, there are seven recognized orders, all of which occur in Iowa. One order, the Exo­ basidiales, is characterized by the absence of a fruiting body, the place of that structure being taken by the parasitized tissues of the host. Of those orders in which a basidiocarp is present, the Agaricales possesses a hymenium or fruiting layer often exposed from the be­ ginning and always before the spores are mature.

    A Checklist of the Aphyllophoroid Fungi (Basidiomycota) Recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

    Posted date: September 2009 Summary published in MYCOTAXON 109: 439–442 A checklist of the aphyllophoroid fungi (Basidiomycota) recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest JULIANO MARCON BALTAZAR & TATIANA BAPTISTA GIBERTONI [email protected], [email protected] Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Departamento de Micologia Av. Nelson Chaves s/n, CEP 50670-420, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil Abstract — The Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened biomes of the world. A list with 733 species of aphyllophoroid fungi reported from the Brazilian Altantic Forest is presented based on an intensive search of literature records. These species are distributed in 219 genera and 47 families. Polyporaceae is the most highly represented family with 153 species; Phellinus is the genus with the highest number of species (42). Key words — Aphyllophorales, macrofungi, neotropics Introduction The Atlantic Forest is a unique series of South American rainforest ecosystems, which also includes other distinct vegetation types, such as mangroves and ‘restinga’ (Mittermeier et al. 2005). This biome is located along the Atlantic coast of Brazil and inland into parts of Argentine and Paraguay. It once covered an area of approximately 1,300,000 km2 (Pôrto et al. 2006), and it was present in 17 of the 27 states of Brazil. This rainforest is one of the most diverse regions and one of the most threatened environments of the world, since its area is now home to 67% of the Brazilian population and it is currently reduced to 7.26% of its original size, placing it among the five most important hotspots (Mittermeier 2005, SOS Mata Atlântica/INPE 2008).

It therefore supports the implementation of a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for all school buildings and grounds with the goal of controlling pests while preventing exposure of children to harmful pesticides. 1 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) will be defined as the coordinated use of physical, biological and cultural controls, and, in the face of a public health threat or substantial property damage, the use of least-toxic pest control chemicals. The goal of using IPM in Wellesley is to control pests without exposing people, property and the environment to harmful chemicals. Integrated Pest Management will be understood to involve the monitoring of pest populations, establishment of tolerance thresholds, modifications of habitats (to eliminate sources of food, water and harborage and entry), utilization of least-toxic controls, keeping of records and evaluation of performance on an ongoing basis.
  • A Survey of Fungal Diversity in Northeast Ohio1

    A Survey of Fungal Diversity in Northeast Ohio1

    A Survey of Fungal Diversity in Northeast Ohio1 BRI'IT A. BUNYARD, Biology Department, Dauby Science Center, Ursuline College, Pepper Pike, OH 44124 ABSTRACT. Threats to our natural areas come from several sources; this problem is all too familiar in northeast Ohio. One of the goals of the Geauga County Park District is to protect high quality natural areas from rapidly encroaching development. One measure of an ecosystem's importance, as well as overall health, is in the biodiversity present. Furthermore, once the species diversity is assessed, this can be used to monitor the well-being of the ecosystem into the future. Currently, a paucity of information exists on the diversity of higher fungi in northern Ohio. The purpose of this two-year investigation was to inventory species of macrofungi present within The West Woods Park (Geauga Co., OH) and to evaluate overall diversity among different taxonomic groups of fungi present. Fruit bodies of Basidiomycetous and Ascomycetous fungi were collected weekly throughout the 2000 and 2001 growing seasons, identified using taxonomic keys, and photographed. At least 134 species from 30 families of Basidiomycetous fungi and at least 19 species from 11 families of Ascomycetous fungi were positively identified during this study. The results of this study were more extensive than from those of any previous survey in northeast Ohio. These findings point out the importance of The West Woods ecosystem to biodiversity of fungi in particular, possibly to overall biodiversity in general, and as an invaluable preserve for the northeast Ohio region. OHIO J SCI 103 (2):29-32, 2003 INTRODUCTION need for biodiversity assessment to evaluate the fates Fungi are among the most diverse groups of living of ever-decreasing natural habitats (Hawksworth 1991; organisms on earth, though inadequately studied world- National Research Council 1993; Cannon 1997; Rossman wide (Hawksworth 1991; Cannon 1997; Rossman and and Farr 1997).
