Soil in laboratory microcosm experiments was amended with dried and milled crop residue of onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Mission) or garlic (A. sativa L. cv. California Early). The amend ments, along with the additional factors of amendment concentration (0, 1 or 3% (w/w)) an soil temperature (23 or 39 8C), were evaluated with respect to germination of seeds of th weedy annual plants Echinochloa cr...

This study was conducted to determine the phenolic compounds that may be utilized as chemotaxonomic identify some concentration are useful for pharmaceutical purposes from 5 taxa belongs Brassicaceae family which are; Cardaria draba (L.) Desv., Lepidum aucheri Boiss., Sisymbrium irio L., officinale Scop., and septulatum DC. Leaves powder of these were collected analyzed by High-performance liqu...

Postrelease studies can provide data with which to evaluate expectations based on prerelease tests of biological control insects. In 2004, we observed Trichosirocalus horridus Panzer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the rosette weevil introduced into North America against Eurasian thistles, feeding on native tall thistle, Cirsium altissimum L. Spreng., in tallgrass prairie. In this study, we examin...

The infusion of the semi-fresh flowering aerial parts of Sisymbrium officinale (L.) Scop. (Brassicaceae), commonly known as hierba del canto in Spanish, is a popular remedy for the treatment of sore throats, coughs, and hoarseness, but little is known about its chemistry and pharmacology. HPLC-UV/PDA analyses of the dichloromethane and methanol extracts of both the fresh and the dried plant mat...

An experiment was conducted under controlled conditions to study the effect of water extract of leaves, shoots and roots of either Sisymbrium irio L. =SISIR and or Descurainia sophia (L.) Schur =DESSO on the germination and primary growth of barley. A split-split plot experiment in CRD with three replications was used. The main plots were the type of weed: i.e. SISIR and DESSO and the sub-plots...

Commonly cultivated Brassicaceae mustards, namely garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), white mustard (Brassica alba), Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata), Asian mustard (B. juncea), oilseed rape (B. napus), black mustard (B. nigra), rapeseed (B. rapa), white ball mustard (Calepina irregularis), ball mustard (Neslia paniculata), treacle mustard (Erysimum repandum), hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officina...
