Patchouli, tea tree, geranium, lavender essential oils and Citricidal (grapefruit seed extract) were used singly and in combination to assess their anti-bacterial activity against three strains of Staphylococcus aureus: Oxford S. aureus NCTC 6571 (Oxford strain), Epidemic methicillin-resistant S. aureus (EMRSA 15) and MRSA (untypable). The individual essential oils, extracts and combinations we...

Ethametsulfuron-methyl is an active ingredient discovered by DuPont de Nemours, which controls Geranium, Brassicaceae and other broad-leaved weeds in oilseed rape. It is to be used in post emergence, between the stage 1 to 8 leaves of the winter oilseed rape, in mixture or in programme with other herbicides.

this study carried out based on a randomized completely design with 10 treatments geranium, eucalyptus and myrtus extraction, in 3 levels (2, 6 and 10 ml in 600 ml of distilled water) and control (distilled water) with 3 replications in 30 plots and each plot with 4 cut flowers. in this experiment traits such as vase life, water absorbtion, fresh weight, dry matter percent, petal protein conten...

Influenza infection was induced in white mice by intranasal inoculation of the virus A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2). The lung protease and the protease-inhibitory activities were followed for 9 days after infection. The intranasal application of a polyphenol-rich extract (PC) isolated from Geranium sanguineum L. induced a continuous rise in the anti-protease activity but did not cause substantial changes ...

Eosin Y has an extraordinary capacity to form complexes with metallic elements, that have applications in many different fields, from photovoltaics and photocatalysis historical artists’ pigments. To unravel the reactivity, it is essential a precise knowledge of their structure composition, as well how these can be affected by synthesis protocol, often underestimated factor. This manuscript pre...
