Biodiesel Safety and Best Management Practices for Small-Scale Noncommercial Use and Production.pdf
Taken from Introduction: The objective of this publication is to review some of the accepted practices associated with small-scale biodiesel production to make it a safe, environmentally sound practice that generates a quality product. Prospective biodiesel producers are also encouraged to use this information as they decide whether or not to begin making biodiesel. For the preparation of this document, we have solicited input from a variety of experts including chemists, agronomists, environmental engineers, regulators, and educators in the field of small-scale biodiesel production and use. Please note that this booklet provides references to state regulations for Pennsylvania; biodiesel producers in other states are encouraged to check with their state regulators to ensure that they are in compliance with all regulations. A glossary is provided at the end of the booklet which defines terms used throughout the publication.
Chives Production Practices in Guyana.pdf
Chives are grown mainly to satisfy the domestic market in Guyana. The herb has culinary and medicinal properties. The fresh leaves are used for making herbal butters and vinegar as well as a flavouring in salads, soups and soft cheeses. The oils (leaf extract) of the plant are known to lower blood levels of low-density lipoproteins. Chives contain some iron and vitamins and can be used as mild antibiotics and laxative. The plants can also be grown for their attractive pinkish to mauve fragrant flowers.

Baiting and Application of Chemicals for Acoushi Ant Control.pdf
Baiting is the recommended method of control for acoushi ants. It exploits the insect’s feeding behavior. Like the vegetation which is cut and carried back to the nests, bait picked up by the ants is taken back to the nest to be used as substrate for the fungus which is the ants’ only food (Figure 3).
Bait consists of a toxicant or poison and a carrier which is usually a material that the insects find attractive. The material must be attractive (Figure 4) since this determines the degree of acceptance of the bait by the insects.
