The application of soil mulching is widely used to improve crop productivity within semiarid regions Mediterranean environments. A field study was conducted during two consecutive cycles spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) the rainfed region Southern Italy evaluate effects straw mulch cultivation practices on yields and ecophysiological activities. Four treatments were evaluated: (1) with (RM), (2) w...

background: nowadays candida albicans has become resistant to the toxic and expensive commercial anti-candida drugs. therefore, investigation for new anti-fungal agents is necessary. objectives: the purpose of this survey was to investigate the in vitro anti-candida activity of the hydroalcoholic extracts of heracleum persicum fruit. materials and methods: the plant ingredients were extracted u...

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence cell wall composed lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate effects fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards lignocellulosic content (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well yield and composition, diffusion coefficient obtained different extraction metho...

Mentha spicata L., commonly known as spearmint, is widely used in both fresh and dry forms, for infusion preparation or in European and Indian cuisines. Recently, with the evolution of the tea market, several novel products with added value are emerging, and the standard lots have evolved to reserve lots, with special harvest requirements that confer them with enhanced organoleptic and sensoria...

Ascosphaera apis is one of the major fungal pathogens of honey bee broods and the causative agent of Chalkbrood disease. The factors responsible for the pathogenesis of Chalkbrood disease are still not fully understood, and the increasing resistance of A. apis to commonly used antifungal agents necessitates a search for new agents to control this disease. The in vitro antifungal activities of 2...

Four spearmint, and two peppermint clonal lines, selected for enhanced rosmarinic acid content (50-120 mg g -1 rosmarinic acid DW), where up to 80% of the antioxidant activity was correlated to rosmarinic acid content, were examined to determine the effects of environmental and physiological conditions on the accumulation of rosmarinic acid in leaf tissues. Exposure to a short photoperiod of 12...

For several reasons the present season is a convenient ono for considering the subject of cholera in the city, the effect upon its production of sanitary work already done, and the prospect of further advantage. We have lately passed through the annual period of chief cholera prevalence, and the events of this particular season have brought the subject prominently to notice. The outbreak at Goa...
