The influence of pre-sowing treatments using hydropriming, osmopriming and halopriming in laboratory and/or nursery tests on seedling emergence, seedling weight and plant growth of endive and chicory was examined. Halopriming (KNO3) or growth regulators (gibberelic acid; GA3) improved the rate of germination of endive and chicory and reduced the mean germination time needed. 30 min pre-sowing t...

Inulin and oligofructose are functional food ingredients which offer a unique combination of nutritional properties and important technological benefits. They are found in many vegetables and fruits and can be industrially obtained from chicory roots. In food formulations, inulin and oligofructose may significantly improve organoleptic characteristics. Their incorporation allows upgrading of bo...

the objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of chicory root and stem powder (crsp) and butyric acid (ba) combination on the performance, carcass traits, relative weight of internal organs and some blood parameters in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old broilers (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments with six re...

In previous reports large-scale EDTA-based soil washing using ReSoil® technology was demonstrated. the current study, we established a vegetable garden with nine raised beds (4 × 1 0.5 m), three original (contaminated) soil, remediated and vitalized by addition of vermicompost, earthworms, rhizosphere inoculum. The managed in 6 rotations between July 2018 November 2019. Buckwheat sown first as ...

effects of plant density and harvest time on various two ecotype and one variety of chicory was examined at qazvin sugar factory research station in 2012. three genotype of chicory (two ecotypes of zanjan and kashan and one denveloped variety named orchis) with three plant densities (6, 12, and 18 plants/m2) and three harvest dates (31 august and 20 september and 11 october) were considered usi...

An experiment investigated whether the inclusion of chicory (Cichorium intybus) in swards grazed by beef steers altered their performance, carcass characteristics or parasitism when compared to steers grazing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). Triplicate 2-ha plots were established with a chicory/ryegrass mix or ryegrass control. Forty-eight Belgian Bluecross steers were used in the first gra...

background and objectives: periodontal disease is a chronic disorder with a high prevalence. there are few studies about the role of diet in prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of consumption of chicory leaf extract in adjunct with non-surgical periodontal therapies on serum antioxidant and lipid status. materials and methods: this s...
