fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) is widely cultivated for its edible, strongly-flavored leaves, fruits, seeds andmedicinal uses. as the wild and cultivated plants are influenced by environmental stresses, the effects of salt (25, 50 and 75 mm nacl), nitrogen and iron deficiency (0 n, 0.5 n of hoagland’s solution, 0 fe and 0.5 fe ofhoagland’s solution), 2°c cold (2, 3 and 4 h) and drought (3, 5...

The species Petroselinum crispum (Parsley) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) are aromatic herbs belonging to the Apiaceae Lamiaceae family respectively. leaves of both plants were consecutively extracted based on separation using ethanol subjected phytochemical testing that revealed presence biologically active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids glyco...

The present study was aimed to investigate, the chemical composition of essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation from Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) harvested in South-Est, Algeria, and evaluate its antifungal allelopathic activities. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS analysis F. showed presence 11 components, alpha.-phellandrene (29.44%) found as main component. tested on seeds...

One hundred and eighty 7-week-old laying quail were fed various diets over a 12-week period. The diets included a control diet (without essential oil mixture (EOM) or antibiotics (ANTs)), a basal diet including EOM (24 mg/kg feed), and a basal diet including an ANT (avilamycin, 10 mg/kg feed). Each treatment comprised 4 replications with 4 cages (15 quail per cage), amounting to 60 quail per tr...

Herbal infusions and decoctions in water are some of the most commonly consumed beverages in the world. Although water is not a good solvent for many of the active components in herbs, liquid preparations are rich in several bioactive compounds. Most of them have powerful antioxidant activity and have been related to medicinal herbs' properties. Herein, decoctions and infusions in water of lemo...

Aphids cause significant damage to crop plants. Studies regarding predator-prey relationships in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crops are important for understanding essential ecological interactions in the context of intercropping and for establishing pest management programs for aphids. This study evaluated the association among Hyadaphis foeniculi (Passe...

abstract        background and objective: peroxidases catalyze protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation. the activity of these enzymes in nerve cells is involved in causing disorders such as alzheimer's and parkinson's disease. this study investigated the effect of citrus aurantium, foeniculum vulgare and rosmarinus officinalis essential oils on activity of peroxidase enzyme.       me...
