to study the effect of planting date on morphological characteristic, yield and essential oil content of achillea millefolium sub sp millefolium.l., an experiment in a randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) with four treatments including four planting date (6 july, 1 august, 7 september and 7 october) in four replications was conducted. during the growing stage and at the end of experiment pe...

Background: Essential oil content and composition in medicinal and aromatic plants is highly affected by both biotic and abiotic factors. Objective: To investigate the effects of drought stress, zeolite and bio-fertilizers on morphological characteristics and essential oil constituents in Dracocephalum moldavica L. Methods: This experiment was conducted in the form of split factorial based on...

With an increase in the global pollution, there is requirement for an alternative to the fossil fuels. Non-edible vegetable oils are highly promising for producing liquid fuels like diesel. Jatropha is a potential feedstock for biodiesel, currently utilized in India and many parts of the world. The optimization of reaction conditions such as temperature, time, catalyst and molar ratio for biodi...

a filed experiment was conducted to assay the effect of nitrogen fertilization and cultivated density on essential oil content on dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica) in semi-arid conditions in 100 km of south east of mashhad. the experiment was done as factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications, factor included four levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 50, 100...

in other to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits of 24 populations, from four species chamomile of the genus of anthemis, an experiment were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-12. 13 traits including: length and width of canopy diameter, plant height, number of flower, shoot fres...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an aqueous process to extract the residual oil from sunflower press cakes using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Two different configurations were tested: the expression fromwhole seeds followed by the aqueous extraction, in two successive apparatus or in the same one. For the aqueous extraction stage, the oil yield depended on th...

This experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on seed yield, protein and oil of rapeseed in Iran. The experiment was a factorial design with three replications. Treatments were four nitrogen biofrtilizers (control (N1), Nitroksin (N2), Azotobacter (N3) and Supernitroplat (N4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizer...
