Twelve growth and flowering traits to study their genetic variability, correlation path coefficients from twenty-five genotypes of French marigold (Tagetes patula L.) were evaluated in the growing season 2016/17. The analysis variance for all showed significant differences among plants traits. range mean performance was observed plant height (34.33-94.33 cm), spread (31.33-73.43 number flowers ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) confer positive and negative effects on many plants, but it is unclear whether AMF has an effect soil fertility, aggregate distribution, stability. The aim of this study was to analyze the Rhizoglomus intraradices plant growth, root morphology, leaf chlorophyll gas exchange, sugar concentrations, nutrients, stability in marigold (Tagetes erecta L.), maize (Zea...

Due to uncertainties of future supplies of pine bark (PB) and peatmoss, ground Pinus taeda logs [pine chips (PC)] were compared to ground PB as a potential container substrate for japanese holly (Ilex crenata Thunb. ‘Chesapeake’), azalea (Rhododendron obtusum Planch. ‘Karen’), and marigold (Tagetes erecta Big. ‘Inca Gold’). Plants were potted in 2.8-L plastic containers 8 Apr. 2004 with either ...

The municipal authorities in developing nations face serious challenges marigold flower garbage management. primary issue is that they never are reused after prayers. Flower waste of Tagetes erecta, T. patula, and Calendula officinalis L. commonly used for carotenoid flavonoid extractions and, subsequently, incense stick biogas production. Marigold plants also phytoremediation during their grow...

This article describes still insufficiently known technology of pot marigold cultivation with the compost produced from organic waste processing medicinal plants. For first time application was analyzed different amounts (control – without compost, 2, 10 and 30 kg/m2) on morphological, productive qualitative parameters two varieties (Doma?i oranž Plamen Plus). During five-year period, best resu...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-aging effects of marigold methanol extract (MGME) in human dermal fibroblasts. Total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents in MGME were 74.8 mg TAE (tannic acid equivalent)/g and 85.6 mg RE (rutin equivalent)/g, respectively. MGME (500 μg/mL) increased 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6...
