Worm infections caused by Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) in Indonesia cause diarrhea, malnutrition, and malaise. One of the epidemiology STH occurs through soil or fertilizer contaminated with vegetables. Therefore, it is necessary to examine identify vegetables, especially cabbage basil. The purpose this study was determine eggs vegetables from (Brassica oleracea) basil (Ocimum basilicum) tak...

BACKGROUND Protecting the environment from chemical hazards of synthetic insecticides along with offering of new breeding areas for vectors by urbanization indicate the trial of natural insecticides. METHODS The acetone extracts of Anethum graveolens, Ocimum basilicum and Thymus vulgaris were tested for their insecticidal effect on Culex pipiens adults and larvae in different concentrations d...

The aqueous extracts of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller), olive (Olea europaea L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), wild thyme (T. serpyllum L.), tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), and verbena (Verbena officinalis L.) were investigated for polyphenol, tannins, antocyanins and flavonoids. Among ...

colorado potato beetle, leptinotarsa decemlineata (say), is one of the most important pests of potato in iran and worlds. for controlling this pest chemical pesticides have used more that have happened pollution of environment and resistance varieties. in this way, using plant materials is one of promising method for controlling this pest. in this study, essential oils of six plant species incl...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of 638-nm and 665-nm LEDs on changes of antioxidants of basil (Ocimum basilicum) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and to assess the effect of light quality on antioxidative status. Plants were grown in peat substrate for 19 days (21/17 ±2°C, 16 h). Experiments were performed in (I) a controlled-environment: B455,R638,R665,FR731(control); B45...

Narrow-bandwidth light treatments may be used to manipulate plant growth, development and metabolism. In this report LED-based light treatments were used to affect yield and metabolic content of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv "Ceasar") grown in controlled environments. This culinary herb produces an aroma highly appreciated by consumers, primarily composed of terpenes/terpenoids, phenylpro...

The sweet-basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) fruit/pericarp produces mucilage that engulfs the fruit and seed within minutes of hydration. Seed is produced by plant species have adapted to arid, sandy soils. This study was conducted determine how basil-seed improves ecological fitness. A second objective find ways remove mucilage, which may interfere with commercial planting. Basil fruit/seeds were ex...

Drought impacts on food security, land degradation and rates of biodiversity loss. Here, we aimed to investigate selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) influenced plant resilience drought using the morphological, physiological, essential oil (EO) quantity quality basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) as proxies. Treatments included irrigation at 100% field capacity (FC100) no stress, 80% FC moderate water stres...
