This study was carried out to evaluate drought stress tolerance in Thymus kotschyanus accessions using a factorial experiment based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 replications during 2013-2014 in Qom, Iran. The first factor was the accession with 17 levels and the second factor was drought stress with three levels of irrigation including 80% (control), 60% and 40% Field Capacity...

Chemical composition of the essential oil from Thymus carmanicus Jalas, and its fumigant activity was investigated against two stored product insects, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) and Sitophilus granarius (L.). Essential oil was isolated via hydrodistillation from dry leaves of T. carmanicus using a modified Clevenger-type apparatus and the chemical composition of the oil was assessed via GC a...

The use of antibiotics as growth promoters (AGP) in poultry feed aims to stimulate and prevent disease. However, the animal has been banned spread resistant bacteria which can be harmful human health. natural compounds, especially essential oils, a alternative for antibiotics. aim study was evaluate inclusion eugenol clove leaf oil additive replace on immune organs performance male laying hens....

the study was carried out to investigate the effects of camelia (camelina sativa l. crantz) variety (cs) oil or seeds on performance, meat quality, immunity and plasma metabolic profile in broiler chickens. the broilers (n= 2,080, cobb 500) were randomly allocated (sex ratio 1:1) for 32-day experimental periods (from 11d to 42 d) to 4 experimental groups: control (corn-soybean meal-full fat soy...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (SA) and citric acid (CA) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) grown under field conditions. Salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mM) and citric acid (5 and 10 mM) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. Results revealed that foliar ap...

a comparative study was made between the acaricidal activities of some essential oils: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), lavandula (lavandula angustifolia mill.), thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) and ziziphora (ziziphora clinopodioides lam.) on the important mite pest, tetranychus cinnabarinus boisduval, the carmine spider mite, oncut roses during 2010-2012. the sublethal concentrations of ziziph...

thymus vulgaris is a plant from lamiasceae family. the antimicrobial activities of t. vulgaris essential oil and extract depend on the phenolic compounds like carvacrol, thymol, γ-terpinene and p-cymene, which are reported to have antibacterial properties. in this research the antimicrobial effect of different concentration (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4%)of thymus vulgaris extract was studied on salmonella...

the antifungal potential of essential oils of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.), rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), and laurel (laurus nobilis l.) was determined. to establish this antifungal potential, two molds related to feed spoilage, namely, aspergillus flavus and aspergillus parasiticus, were selected. the agar dilution method was employed for the determination of antifungal activities. the i...

ABSTRACT: Essential oils are commonly used to treat minor health problems. In this study the chemical compositions of Lavandula officinalis and Thymus vulgaris were determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. GC/MS analysis of T. vulgaris resulted in thymol as the major oil component where as methyl sulfony exhibited as the most abundant constituent of L. officinalis. The antibacter...
