“…This approach has been used in selecting for resistance to Alternaria leaf blight (Boiteux et al, 1993; Simon and Strandberg, 1998), and aster yellows (Gabelman et al, 1994). For soil borne disease and pests, heavily infested disease evaluation plots have been established for Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica (Vieira et al, 2003), Methods for evaluating resistance to Alternaria leaf blight (Simon and Strandberg, 1998; Pawelec et al ., 2006), cavity spot and Rhizoctonia solani resistance (Breton et al, 2003), M. hapla (Wang and Goldman, 1996), and M. javanica (Simon et al ., 2000) in controlled environments such as a greenhouse or growth chambers have also been developed.…”

Carrots (Daucus carota) are root vegetables that can be purple, red, yellow or white colour based on their pigmentation and variety. Due to the awareness of its high nutritional content such as vitamins, minerals and carotene, they are mainly consumed raw, possibly exposing one to the risk of being infected. Studies on the pathogenic Bacteria associated with fresh carrots sold in the community market at Ahmadu Bello University, main campus Samaru Zaria, were carried out using cultural techniques. Salmonella Shigella agar, MacConkey agar and Eosin methylene blue agar were the growth media for the isolation of the pathogenic Bacteria. Twelve fresh carrots were randomly bought from different food vendors in the community market, and then 10g of the outer layer (epidermal) scrapings were collected from each sample and homogenized in 90 ml of buffered peptone water. It was then serially diluted and 0.1ml of each 104and 105dilutions were plated on EMB, SSA, and MacConkey agar. Isolates were identified by gram staining and biochemical tests. The bacteria were identified to beProteusspecies,Citrobacterspecies,Klebsiellaspecies, andSalmonellaspecies.Proteusspp was predominantly isolated among the bacterial isolates (41%) followed byCitrobacterspp (25%),Klebsiellaspp (17%) andSalmonellaspp (17%). These organisms may have been introduced to the carrots during growth, harvesting, handling, storage and distribution. The presence of the organisms is a public health risk because of the diseases known to be caused by them. It is therefore imperative that adequate hygienic practices be put in place during the cultivating and handling of carrots. A high level of susceptibility was observed in Ciprofloxacin at (100%) and Augmentin at (50%), while the high level of resistance was observed to be high in Gentamicin at (100%).

“…65 According to an observer: 'The politicians of all parties, being in complete agreement with public opinion throughout the country, recognized that the system of administrating large deficits -which implied the need to seek creditswas the major cause of the [recent] financial and economic disasters.' 66 Such consensus was not new among Portuguese political parties, but it was not made explicit by the parties involved and consequently many historians have failed to notice its existence. 67 The prime minister, however, wanted to go even further; Oliveira Martins left the government in disagreement, at the end of May 1892, and Dias Ferreira himself assumed responsibility for the ministry of finance.…”

In 1891 a financial crisis led Portugal to abandon the gold standard and to partially default by cutting interest payments on domestic and foreign debt. As a consequence, the country was banned from borrowing in international financial markets, until an agreement with foreign bondhold ers was reached in 1902. That financial crisis was the result of large current account and government deficits. Yet the abandonment of the gold standard and default were not imposed by financial difficulties only. This paper shows that such options were taken because of the growing domestic consensus regarding the need for a change in monetary policies. The concern about the domestic economy was more important to the Portuguese governments than the fear of a negative reaction of foreign bondholders. Insufficient information about the sustainability of government debt and lack of cooperation between borrowers left the Portuguese governments with space to manoeuvre according to their domestic political interests.
