Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is widely cultivated for its edible, strongly-flavored leaves, fruits, seeds and medicinal uses. As the wild and cultivated plants are influenced by environmental stresses, the effects of salt (25, 50 and 75 mM NaCl), nitrogen and iron deficiency (0 N, 0.5 N of Hoagland’s solution, 0 Fe and 0.5 Fe of Hoagland’s solution), 2°C cold (2, 3 and 4 h) and drought (3,...

A set of ten genotypes fennel were evaluated for studying “Studies on Genetic Variability and Character association in Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)”. The experiment was conducted a Randomized Block Design with three replications during the Rabi season, 2021 at Horticultural Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Techno...

Essential oil from seeds of Foeniculum vulgare was extracted on Clevenger apparatus. Essential oil was analyzed on Gas-Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from which thirty six components were identified, among which 6 major and 30 minor components having different structural formulae and molecular weight representing total 99.98% of oil. Essential was investigated for its antibacterial an...
