Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grain and oil quality are defined by grain weight and oil percentage, oil fatty acid composition and the amount of antioxidants. The aim of this work was to establish and validate a simple model, based on published relationships, which can estimate not only yield and its components, but also grain and oil quality aspects which are of relevance for industrial pro...

Field and laboratory investigations were undertaken at Nagarjun Medicinal Plants Garden from 1984 - 1987 with object to find out the suitable variety of palmarosa having high yield of foliage and oil. From the pooled analysis the variety IW - 3631 showed highest dry foliage yield (10271 KG / ha) which was significantly superior over all varieties i.e, IW 3632, IW-3630, IW RRL (B) - 65 and IW - ...

Evaluation of essential oil yield, morphological and phenological traits of seven populations of twoChamomilespecies )Matricaria aurea and M. recutita), were carried out using Randomized Completely Blocks Design (RCBD) in three replications in Alborz research station in Karaj, Iran during 2011-2012. Data were collected for 12 morphological and phenological traits. Analysis of variance showed si...

in order to study the effects of integrative applications of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on grain yield and oil of borago officinalis under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted at kermanshah, iran, in 2011. experiment was arranged as split plot under a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. water deficit stress with four levels was applied as the mai...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed yield, yield components of seed and essential oil content of coriander (coriandrum sativum), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran in firouzkuh of iran in 2012...

To investigate whether the fertilizers N, P or K individually affect plant growth, oil content and the gender of sweet gale, two trials, pot and field trials, were carried out at Orkney College UHI in Scotland. A pot trial was established with eight soils which were collected from different sweet gale trial sites in the north of Scotland. Although neither shoot yield nor oil concentration in sh...

Both the continuous and batch transesterification of linseed oil were examined in order to maximize the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) yield. The continuous process was conducted in a packed bed reactor using calcium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst. In addition, the impact of two variables, namely the molar ratio of methanol to oil and the flow rate (ml/min), on the FAME yield were stu...

A comparison between heavily and lightly browsed Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees revealed that the yield of volatile leaf oil and tree height were highly significantly different. Higher volatile oil yield was positively correlated with lightly browsed trees, and lower oil yield correlated with heavily browsed trees. Tree height was negatively correlated with terpenoid yield, indicating youn...
