innovative product called NovaPlast. But due to the structure of the organization with 21 plants globally he has to take a call as how to introduce the product. Alternatives: Lankton has three alternatives in front of him on the issue of leveraging the capability of NovaPlast: 1. Build a new plant employing only NovaPlast machines: The advantage of having all the NovaPlast machines in a single plant is engineering efficacy. The Centralized development would facilitate personal oversight of

some of the cuvettes went down in absorbance that were placed in the light because they had herbicides in them. This would cause the plants that were under going photosynthesis faster to completely stop because the herbicide has more to inhibit. But, the plants in the dark did not have that same problem because they were not undergoing photosynthesis as much as the plants in the light so the herbicides did not have as much to inhibit. By adding these specific herbicides, the rate of electron did decrease

most fundamental processes that take place in plants and some other organisms. Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy of a carbohydrate (Mader & Windelspecht, 2013).The whole process takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells containing the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is one of the most important molecules in existence as all energy capture starts from there (Mader, 2010). If none of this pigment is in existence, plants would be able to absorb all spectrums of light

The pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Verticillium lecanii, was evaluated against the adult of vine mealybug ,Planococcus ficus (Signoret) under laboratory conditions by dipping bioassays. The results showed that the virulence of B. bassiana was higher than the virulence of M.anisopliae and V. lecanii. In case of B. bassiana isolate, the LC50 value was 6 × 104 conidia /ml while LT50 recorded 5.30 days at 5 × 107 conidia /ml. Results showed that
