Chemical mutagenesis is an efficient tool used in mutation-breeding programs to improve the vital characters of the floricultural crops. This study aimed to estimate the effects of different concentrations of two chemical mutagens; sodium azide (SA) and diethyl sulfate (DES). The vegetative growth and flowering characteristics in two generations (M1 and M2) of calendula plants were investigated...

this study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (k2so4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of calendula officinalis l., a medicinal and ornamental plant. the experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (r.c.b.d...

in a country like iran, where soil organic matter is less than 1% and in most cases even less than 0.5 %, municipal solid waste (msw) is a permanent and inexpensive source of organic matter. various experiments have indicated that applications of compost improve plant health, yield and nutritional quality. however, the quality of the compost determines the growth and the development of plants. ...

the hydroalcoholic extracts of dried ligulate florets of calendula officinalis l., dried leaves of plantago major l., and dried aerial parts of vinca major l. were prepared and used as the main active ingredients of two types of anti-anorectal disease ointments and suppositories. benzocaine was used in one of the formulations, while a mixture of belladonna dry extract and ephedrine sulfate was ...

Large White Butterfly, Pieris brassicae L. (LWB) is one of the greatest pests of cruciferous cultures in Estonia, and, in the years of its biggest abundance, it can destroy a significant part of a crop. Many plants contain natural compounds that can repel and/or attract insects and protect neighbouring plants. This principle is used in a method known as companion planting. The aim of this paper...
