Rapid changes in practices used to produce perennial grass seed crops in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region and shortened lengths of time that perennial grass seed fields remain in production have increased the need for additional rotation crops that are adapted to the poorly drained soils found in western Oregon. This research was conducted at three sites to determine ways to manage meadowfoam ...

background & aim: ziziphora l. genus belongs to the lamiaceae family, which has important medicinal and aromatic plant species. in current study, essential oil chemical compositions of two ziziphora l. species (z. tenuior l. and z. clinopodioides lam.) were investigated. experimental: the flowering branches of z. tenuior and z. clinopodioides were collected in spring and summer 2011. the ae...

Increasing the area of arable oilseed land, particularly rapeseed, and the important role of potassium in yield and oil content, especially in calcareous and high pH soils, need to more knowledge about plant nutrition requirement. In this study, the effect of sources and different levels of potassium fertilizers on some quality and quantity characteristics on canola yield were assessed by combi...

the present study was carried out to determine the potential antibacterial effect of essential oil of origanumvulgare against antibiotic resistant e.coli. in this study, the essential oil of origanumvulgare obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (gc-ms) in order to determine their chemical composition. the minimum inhibitory concentrations ...
