The objective of current study was to determine the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on physiological features of Black Cumin seeds. Black Cumin seeds were divided into 4 groups: one control group and three experimental groups. The experimental groups were exposed to NTAP for 5, 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. Then the seeds of the experimental and control groups grew for 21 da...

this study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of black cumin (nigella sativa l.) at the experimental station of the research institute of forest and rangeland, damavan region, iran. a split-plot experimental design, based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, was used. i...

abstract in order to study the effect of density and time of nitrogen application on morphological, phenological characteristics, yield and yield components of black cumin (nigella sativa l) a field experiment was conducted at chenaran in khorasan razavi province in 2005 growing season. three nitrogen fertilizer (urea) application times (1- control 2- at 4-6 leaves stage 3-preblooming 4-complet...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...

predicting seed viability would be extremely beneficial to seed producers and the prediction of seed viability depends on understanding the quantitative relationships between seed longevity, seed moisture content and storage temperature. thus, the objective of this investigation was to quantify relationship between temperatures, seed moisture and seed deterioration and determination seed viabil...

The present research was aimed to evaluate an interactive effect of cage density and level of dietary black cumin (BC) on productive efficiency of broiler chickens. A total of 270 broiler chickens (initial body weight of 163.12 ± 8.10g) were allocated into a completely randomized design with a 3 x 3 factorial pattern. The first factor was the cage density (bird/m2) namely, D1 = 8; D2 = 10, and ...

Most of the bacterial pathogens are resistant to existing synthetic antibacterial agents demanding an increasing effort to seek effective phytochemicals as antibacterial agents against such pathogens. Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) seeds play an important role in folk medicine and some of its major constituents are reported to be pharmacologically active. In this present work, black cumin seed...

In our study, it was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of 6 plant extracts obtained with methanol by using maceration and soxlet methods from 3 species Nigellla sativa (Black seed), Cuminum cuminum (cumin) Pimpinella anisum (anise) grown in Kırıkkale province liquid microdilution method against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) Escherichia coli 25922). All (black cumin), (Cuminum) ...

            In this study, rainbow trout were fed for a total of 144 days with different feed mixes containing 0.00%, 0.10%, 0.40%, 0.70%, 1.00% and 1.30% black cumin oil. The effect of black cumin oil on the growth performance, feed content and fatty acid composition of rainbow trout was researched. The starting weight of fish in the experimental group was approximately 60 gr., which increased...
