Abstract Fertilization can be a sustainable management practice for the maintenance of threatened species such as Araucaria angustifolia. Our objective was to evaluate elemental composition A. angustifolia fertilized with N, P, and K, how fertilization altered soil fertility. Seven-month-old seedlings were transplanted 16 dm3 pots, three experiments carried separately (one each cited element) i...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate hypnotic effect of coriandrum sativum, ziziphus jujuba , lavandula angustifolia and melissa officinalis hydroalcoholic extracts in mice to select the most effective ones for a combination formula. three doses of the extracts (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg of c. sativum and z. jujuba and 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of l. angustifolia and m. officinalis ) were or...

Echinacea (Asteraceae), a North American genus of 11 recognized taxa (McGregor 1968), is of great economic and scientific interest. Three species, E. angustifolia DC. var. angustifolia, E. pallida (Nutt.) and E. purpurea (L.) Moench, show potential pharmacological activity (Bauer et al. 1988a; Bauer and Wagner 1991). Hydroalcoholic extracts of the roots of these three taxa stimulate phagocytosi...

abstract: chemical composition of lavandula angustifolia was studied by solvent free microwave extraction (sfme) and hydrodistillation (hd) methods. 1, 8-cineole (42.7% and 37.9%), camphor (26.1% and 21.3%) and borneol (31.2% and 21.6%) were the major compounds that obtained by sfme and hydrodistillation, respectively. the antibacterial activity of extracted oils was investigated against gram-p...
