The range grazing and distance walked for diet selection and nutritive value were studied in close and open range systems at the flowering and seed setting stages during the September and November 2009 respectively in El-khuwei locality (El Rosa). A completely randomized design was used (CRD). Sampling was done by two stage flowering and seed sating stage under protected and open range systems ...

The resistance mechanism of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to atrazine was investigated to evaluate its potential for phytoremediation of environment contaminated with the herbicide. Plants known to metabolise atrazine rely on hydroxylation mediated by benzoxazinones, conjugation catalyzed by glutathione-S-transferases and dealkylation probably mediated by cytochromes P450. All three possibi...

Objective: Scientific evaluation of traditionally using medicinal herbs for their pharmacological activity is a leading and valuable area of research. The aim of this study is to compare the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic and hydroalcoholic extract of Vetiveria zizanioides root and analyze the major bioactive compounds present in those extracts. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of both etha...

The formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) is a common environmental problem in the mining industry. Its passive management through wetland construction has gained more consideration recent years. However, application field constrained by large area and relatively shallow depth. Indonesia no technology to neutralize AMD deep water. One solution apply floating treatment (FTW) system. Therefore, t...

Environmental pollution caused by the development of industry and rapid increase in number vehicles currently requires restrictions on use lubricants. Used lubricants contain complex mixtures hydrocarbons that adversely affect plants creating conditions make essential nutrients such as nitrogen oxygen needed for plant growth unavailable cause severe problems soil ecosystems rhizosphere.
