A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of compost and bio-fertilizers on the growth, yield and oil constituents of marjoram (Majorana hortensis L.). Forty five days old seedling were transplanted in soil treated with 15 and 30% aqueous extracts of compost and/or biofertilizers (mixture of Azospirillum brasilienses, Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus polymyxa & B. circulans) in ad...

many parameters affect essential oil yield and chemical composition of aromatic plants. for obtaining the highest quantity and quality of essential oil, it is necessary to know the proper methods of drying and distillation. the aim of this research was to investigate the influence of drying and extraction methods on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of eucalyptus sargentii...

in this study, aerial parts of lippia citriodora kunth were harvested at three phenological stages (i.e. vegetative, full flowering and fruit set). the essential oil isolated by hydro distillation for 3 h using a clevenger-type apparatus and the oil was analyzed by gc and gc-ms. the yields of oils (w/w%) in different stages was in the order of: full flowering (0.9%), vegetative (0.48%) and frui...

Two field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and irrigation management on seed and essential oil yields of Cumin, as well as the impact of water quality on water holding capacity of SAP. Salinity had a negative effect on the amount of water absorbed by SAP (335 and 59 g H2O per g SAP, for distilled water and solution of 0.5% NaCl...

In In order to investigating changes range of oil yield and percentage attention to plant density on three varieties of black seed, an experiment was conducted in the form of factorial based on completely randomized block designs (RCBD) with 4 replications in Saat-Loui agricultural station of West Azerbaijan province. In this research, the first factor (A) contained two levels 20 and 40 cm inte...

this study represents a highly efficient and regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with acetic anhydride in the presence of naoac·3h2o at solvent-free conditions. the ring-opening of different classes of epoxides were carried in oil bath (70-80 °c) to afford 1,2-diacetates in high to excellent yields

Six hundred day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 42-d trial at Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Science University Poultry Farm to compare the effects of different levels of fish oil supplementation on performance of broilers in terms of feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion and carcass characteristics. The chicks were randomly distributed following a completely randomized desig...
