Low concentration of raw flower juice of Calotropis porcera (Asclepiadecae) and seed dust of Nerium oleander (Apocynacae) significantly delayed the egg to adult development of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, for three successive generations under laboratory trial. The flower juice of C. porcera was found more effective than the seed dust of N. oleander in delaying the develop...

In this study, we have examined the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of different extracts (including water, methanol, water : methanol and acetone) of Nerium oleander L. grown in the north of Iran by employing various in-vitro assay, i.e. DPPH free radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity through the Mo (VI) reduction. The extracts showed different level...

Development of more effective and less toxic antifungal agents is required for the treatment of dermatophytosis. Plants and their extraction preparations have been used as medicines against infectious diseases. In this research, the lemon grass [Cymbopogon citrates DC.) Stapf.], lantana (Lantana camara L.), nerium (Nerium oleander L.), basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and olive leaves (Olea europaea...

Oleanders are drought-tolerant evergreen plants of the Family Apocynaceae that originated from Mediterranean countries. Two common oleanders are Nerium oleander and Thevetia peruviana (yellow oleander). In the present study, we aimed at evaluating the pathological effects and serum biochemical changes of oleander in sheep. Seven male native Iranian sheep (8-12 month) were randomly divided into ...

Oleander (Nerium oleander L.) is cultivated recently as a flowering pot plant and therefore abundant propagation plant material for commercial use is of great importance. Oleander is a vegetatively propagated ornamental plant valued for its evergreen foliage and showy terminal flower clusters that are available in different colours. Studies have shown that rooting, plant growth regulat...
