The acaricidal effect of eleven essential oils (Sweet basil, Common juniper, Atlas cedar, Coriander, Blue gum, European silver fir, Common lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Scots pine, Summer savory) against poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae was tested in vitro using the direct contact method, at three different doses: 0.2 mg/cm2, 0.4 mg/cm2 and 0.6 mg/cm2. The results of the study revealed that...

in order to study the effect of different n fertilizer on berseem forage in an intercropping with basil, this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran during growing season 2011. experimental treatments were arranged as split plots based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. different fertilizers consisted of control (no ...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L., Lamiaceae) is a tropical species native to East Africa (Simon et al. 1990; Vieira and Simon 2000, 2006; Vieira et al. 2003). Sweet basil can be damaged in the field by chilling temperatures in spring and fall, and when stored and transported. Temperatures below 5°C lead to significant leaf necrosis and damage has been observed when temperatures drop below 10°C ...

The present study examined the efficacy of Ocimum basilicum (basil) extract, a natural herb, with antioxidant properties, against testicular toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd), which is one of the most important toxic heavy metals. The intoxicated rats showed significant alterations in the testicular tissue including decreased seminiferous epithelium height and changes in the arrangement of sperm...

BACKGROUND An intention-to-treat analysis of the Bypass versus Angioplasty in Severe Ischaemia of the Leg (BASIL) trial showed that in patients with severe lower limb ischemia (SLI) due to infrainguinal disease who survived for 2 years after intervention, initial randomization to a bypass surgery (BSX)-first vs balloon angioplasty (BAP)-first revascularization strategy was associated with impro...

intercropping may be helpful manner to increase interception and utilization. the aim of this study was to compare radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping with sole cropping. an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad in the growing season of the year 2008. the experimental treatments were: 1- sole crop of bean 2...

Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence), seedling growth and plant yield under stress conditions, such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. In order to evaluate the effect of growth hormones on morphology characteristics and essential oil of basil under drought stress condition, a experiment was cond...
