Organic fertilizers play a significant role in organic systems and sustainable soil management. In general, organic fertilizers increase soil fertilization so can reduce the negative effects of the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic man-made fertilizers. This study was carried out in the Medicinal Plants Farm of Shahid Bakeri Higher Education Center of Miandoab during summer 20...

Abstract Cacao pod husks ( Theobroma cacao L.) are waste from processing. They contain polyphenolic compounds that obtained by extraction. The most commonly used extraction methods maceration and soxhletation. However, this method has disadvantages such as long time high solvent requirements. This study aimed to compare the soxhletation Microwave-assisted (MAE) on husks. parameters observed wer...

scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. one of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. this postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (pal) and peroxidase (pod) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...

the genus phoenix is one of the most widely cultivated groups of palms around the world. the aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds of 14 different varieties of date palm (phoenix dactylifera l., arecaceae) seed extracts with 5 solvents [water, methanol, methanol (50%), dmso, and water: methanol: acetone: formic acid (20:40:40:0.1)]. ferric redu...

phytochemical constituents, such as total phenol, allicin and pyrovic acid as well as antioxidant activity of thirteen ecotypes of allium hirtifolium boiss. from different regions of iran were evaluated. average contents of total phenol, allicin and pyrovic acid of bulbs extracts per g fresh weight were 0.647 mg gallic acid equivalent (gae), 2.127 mg and 84.412 µmol, respectively and antioxidan...

The work studied the effect of germination on proximate, phenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activities (AOA) of African Yam been (AYB). Germination was done in controlled dark chamber (100% RH, 28C). The proximate, phenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activities before and after germination were investigated. The crude protein, moisture, and crude fiber content of germinated A...

The effects of different concentrations of Zinc oxide nano particles (ZnONP; 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg L-1) and Humic acid (HA; 0, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) on root length and number, leaf length and number, bulb diameter, and chlorophyll, total phenol, anthocyanin and flavonoid contents were examined under in vitro conditions. Total phenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents were signif...

This study represents the first paper of the effects of growth regulators on the physiochemical and phytochemical properties of the wax apple fruit, a widely cultivated fruit tree in southeast Asia. Net photosynthesis, sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity, peel color, fruit firmness, juice content, pH value, total soluble solids (TSSs), and the sugar acid ratio were all significantly incre...
