Influence of Rhizosphere Ionic Strength on Mineral Composition, Dry Matter Yield and Nutritive Value of Forage Chicory
Animal manure and urine deposition can cause localized patches of high ionic strength (IS) soil in pastures, influencing plant production, nutritive value and sward composition. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) appears to thrive in high-nutrient input situations, but no information is available on chicory response to increasing IS. In a greenhouse experiment, we evaluated the effect of rhizospher...
متن کاملSingle and combined effects of Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and Hypericum perforatum extracts on immune indices and antioxidant enzymes activity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
The aims of present study were to investigate the effects of Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and Hypericum perforatum extracts on immune indices and antioxidant enzymes activity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). For this purpose, 720 fish with an average weight of 100±5 g were randomly allocated to four distinct treatments including: a control group, 3% chicory extract, 3% extract of H. pe...
متن کاملForage Yield and Quality of Chicory, Birdsfoot Trefoil, and Alfalfa During the Establishment Year
As part of a study to evaluate alternative forages for farmed deer, we compared forage yields and quality of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and forage chicory (Cichorium intybus) with that of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in north central Alberta, Canada. Despite similar plant densities among the three species, the foliar cover of chicory averaged 76%, 20% greater than alfalfa and 50% great...
متن کاملLong-Term Cultured Hairy Roots of Chicory—A Rich Source of Hydroxycinnamates and 8-Deoxylactucin Glucoside
A 12-year-old hairy root culture of Cichorium intybus L., a callus culture of the plant as well as roots and leaves of a wild plant of chicory, and roots of two C. intybus L. var. sativum cultivars were examined in respect of their hydroxycinnamate and sesquiterpene lactone compositions and contents. Total phenolics and diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of the examined plant ti...
متن کاملEffects of Matricaria chamomille and Cichorium intybus powder on Performance, Rumen Microbial Population and Some Blood Parameters of Dallagh Sheep
BACKGROUND: Manipulation of rumen microbial population for improving animal performance is done by several methods including medicinal plants. Matricaria chamomille (chamomile) and Cichorium intybus (chicory) are two medicinal plant with antibacterial effect that there is little information about the effects of them on rumen microflora. OBJECTIVE: The present study was carried out to evaluate t...
