An experiment was carried out on effect of spacing and fertilizer levels yield, quality nutrient uptake fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) under northern dry zone Karnataka. Among various levels, 60 x 30 cm recorded highest seed yield. The essential oil content yield obtained in 40 spacing. Nutrient found maximum content, total by supplying 100:50:40 NPK kg ha-1 it at par with 90:40:30 N, P2O5, ...

Seed germination generally presents a peak in the next growing season after a fire. Among other factors associated with fire are the increase of soil nitrogen and changes in the pH of the soil. In this study, we addressed the question, whether or not the germination response of eight species is linked with the increase in pH and nitrogenous compounds in the germination media? We assessed the se...

Essential oils were extracted from the fruits of Coriandrum sativum L. and Foeniculum vulgare Miller var. vulgare (Miller) and assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity to Escherichia coli and Bacillus megaterium, bacteria routinely used for comparison in the antimicrobial assays, and 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and two mycopathogenic ones responsible for cultivated mushroom diseases...
