More promotes water saving and volatiles sweet basil tomato. blue leaf biomass (yield) basil. Trade-offs should be considered when customising lighting meet growers’ market demands. With increasing urbanisation consum...

The development of organic farming as a result increasing consumer preference for food has led to the and registration new pest-control products certified production. In this study, effects three biocontrol containing spores mycelium Arthrobotrys oligospora—Artis®, Beauveria bassiana—Bora®, Coniothyrium minitans—Öko-ni® were tested on four basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivars: ‘Aromat de Buzau...

Extremely high temperatures and droughts are expected in Bosnia Herzegovina the coming years due to climate change. These phenomena negatively affect most traditionally grown crops. However, optimal growth conditions can be provided for plants that originate from warmer climates. One of alternative species summer is basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Therefore, objective this study was determine impac...

The effects of prolonged photoperiod (additional night lighting) were investigated on the production Ocimum basilicum (lemon basil) and fish/crayfish raised in a nutrient film technique aquaponic system. Hybrid lemon fin barb red claw crayfish juveniles co-cultured with O. subjected to 12 h ambient natural daylight additional 0, 4, 8, lighting for 14 weeks (two batches 7 each). water quality pa...

Modern agriculture demands for comprehensive information about the plants themselves. Conventional chemistry-based analytical methods—due to their low throughput and high associated costs—are no longer capable of providing these data. In recent years, remote reflectance-based characterisation has become one most promising solutions rapid assessments plant attributes. However, in many cases, exp...

In this study, the in vitro anticholinesterase activity of the volatile oils of both O. basilicum and O. africanum was investigated and both samples showed significant activity. The major constituents of the two oils were isolated using several column chromatographies. Linalool, 1,8-cineol and eugenol were isolated from the volatile oil of O. basilicum and camphor was isolated from the volatile...

BACKGROUND The leishmanicidal and cytotoxic activity of ten essential oils obtained from ten plant specimens were evaluated. METHODS Essential oils were obtained by the steam distillation of plant leaves without any prior processing. Cytotoxicity was tested on J774 macrophages and leishmanicidal activity was assessed against four species of Leishmania associated with cutaneous leishmaniasis. ...

The microgreens are innovative products in the horticultural sector. They appreciated by consumers thanks to their novelty and health-related benefits, having a high antioxidant concentration. This produce can be adopted for indoor production using hydroponic systems. aim of present work was investigate influence three growing media (vermiculite, coconut fiber, jute fabric) on yield quality par...
