in order to investigation of vermicompost effect on growth and yield of marigold in pot medium, an experiment was done by a randomized completely block design in three raplications. treatmnets were included control (30% v/v of soil plus 70% v/v of sand) and three levels of vermicompost (20, 40, 60 % v/v of vermicompost+30% v/v of sand and soil) that applied in three lit. pots. marigold seeds (t...

phytoremediation is a biological method by which plants are used to remove environmental pollution caused by toxic elements such as the accumulation of cadmium, copper, lead, chromium, etc. from soil. the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) help the plant to increase uptake and translocation of low mobility nutrients and also micronutrients. in this research, arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculant was...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential anticancer action of extracts prepared from german chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.)and pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) to human melanoma and epidermoid carcinoma cells. Sulforhodamine B assay was used to measure the cytotoxic activity of methanolic extracts from flowers of chamomile and marigold. The cytotoxic activity of extr...

Root-lesion nematodes (primarily Pratylenchus penetrans) were monitored in two marigold cultivars (Tagetes tenuifolia cv. Nemakill and cv. Nemanon), annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum cv. Lemtal), red clover (Trifolium pratense cv. Florex), and soybean (Glycine max cv. Proteus), and in the following potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Superior) crop during three growth sequences. Meadow fescue (Fest...

Virtual environments lack a standardised interface between the user and application, this makes it possible for the interface to be highly customised for the demands of individual applications. However, this requires a development process where the interface can be carefully designed to meet the requirements of an application. In practice, an ad-hoc development process is used which is heavily ...

The efficiency of high pressure extraction of lutein diesters from marigold (Tagetes erecta) flower petals has been investigated. The solvents used for extraction were supercritical carbon dioxide and liquid propane. Operating parameters were 300 bar and 40, 60 and 80 °C for CO2 and 100, 150, 200 bar and 40 and 60 °C for propane, respectively. The influence of process parameters on the total yi...

To investigate the effect of irrigation and urea levels on some agronomic traits essential oil content pot marigold, a study was conducted in split-plot based completely randomized block design with three replications. The treatments included four (irrigation after 5, 10, 15, 20 days) nitrogen (0, 80, 160, 240 kg ha-1 urea). plant height, flower number, dry weight, number seeds/head, thousand k...

Effects of different dietary supplements of plant carotenoid sources on growth, coloration and behavioural activities of Trichogaster fasciata were carried out. Three groups of fish were fed with petal powder of rose (Rosa chinensis), China rose (Hibiscus rosasinensis) and marigold (Tagetes erecta) separately as carotenoid source along with the same basic ingredients for 90 days. The mean final...

This research aimed to compare the effects of pigments extracted from dried petal meal of marigold flower and synthetic pigments on productive performance of laying hens, egg quality and antioxidant properties of the egg. A total of 64 laying hens, aged 75 weeks, were distributed in a completely randomized design in 4 treatments and 4 replications containing 4 hens per cages. Experimental group...
