Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche species) are holoparasitic weeds that infect roots of crop hosts from Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Apiaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae. The parasitic difficult to control selectively without damage once attached their roots. Identification natural compounds with herbicidal activity against pre-attached broomrape stages can provide alternatives. With the aim identif...

Background: Considering the increased rate of microbial resistance to antibiotics and chemical side effects antibiotics, there is a need for an alternative antimicrobial agent with fewer complications. Medicinal plants are rich resources phytochemical compounds antibacterial activity that could fight off this problem. Objectives: The aim research was investigate composition, antimicrobial, anti...

Background: This study aimed to determine antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile), Malva sylvestris, and Capsella bursa-pastoris against multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: The plants were collected from Ziarat village Gorgan, Iran in April 2019. required parts the separated completely dried shade. After grinding, ex...

In this study, the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) C needles (i.e. the current-year-needles) were used as bioindicators in determining the aerial distribution pattern of sulphur emissions around industrial point sources at Kemi, Northern Finland. The average sulphur concentration in the C needles was 897 mg/kg (d.w.), with a standard deviation of 118 mg/kg (d.w.) and range 740 – 1350 mg/kg (d....

Hexane, chloroform and ethanol extracts of Malva parviflora L. and Malvastrum coromandelianum L. were tested for their antibacterial, antifungal and irritant activities. While the hexane, chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extracts along with the polar mass of Amaranthus viridis L. were tested for above activities, except that of the antifungal. The extracts of Malva parviflora L. and Malvastrum c...
