Origanum Majorana

Agryl P17 fiber-mulching of cold-sensitive herbal plants, basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and marjoram (Origanum majorana L.), were studied at three locations in Finland (1984—1985). The growing sites were Helsinki (60° 14' N), Sahalahti (61° 28' N), and Inari (69° 04' N) for both species in 1984, and Helsinki for marjoram in 1985. Agryl P17 mulching increased basil yield at all locations. The uncovered basil yielded approximately 54 kg/100 m2 and when grown under the mulch, more than three fold, 191 kg/ 100m2. In the north (Inari), however, basil and marjoram did not give practically any yield. Marjoram did not benefit from mulching either in the south: the yield was 96 kg without and 80 kg/100m2 with mulching. The vegetation under the mulch was severely affected by fungus diseases. The volatile oil content in the dried basil herb ranged from 0.46 to 0.93 %. There were no significant differences in the total oil content whether basil was grown with or without Agryl P17. The oil content in marjoram ranged from 1.94 to 2.55 % the total content being significantly higher when grown under the cover.

The volatile oil content and composition of the aerial parts of Ajuga orientalis L. (Lamiaceae) grown in northern parts of Iran have been analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds were identified, representing 97.9% of the total oil. The main compounds were germacrene-D (24.2%), β-cubebene (18.3%), β-caryophyllene (16.9%) and α-cubebene (5.3%).

Basic fertilization and nitrogen top-dressing of basil was studied in 1984 and 1985 at the Department of Horticulture, University of Helsinki. The total N doses applied were 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 kg N/100 m2. In 1984 the plants were of a mixture of different fenotypes and two of those formed 85 % of the crop-stand. In 1985 the variety grown was ’Budakalasz’. The optimum basic fertilization proved to be a compound fertilizer at the rate (NPK) of 0.4—0.16—0.68 kg/100 m2. The content of volatile oils in dried herb ranged from 0.32 to 1.46 %. The total oil content was not significantly affected by fertilization except in 1984 when the fertilization decreased the oil content in the other of those two major fenotypes.

Abstract Experiment was conducted in fields of Agriculture College, Al-Muthanna University, during the growing season 2020, to study the response of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) to spraying three concentrations of aspartic acid (0, 75 and 150 mg.L−1) and with three concentrations of glutamic acid (0, 75 and 150 mg.L−1), and their impact on its growth and essential oil content. Results showed that the basil plants that have been sprayed with aspartic acid at a concentration (150 mg.L−1) significantly superior in plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoot, percentage and yield of volatile oil (45.61cm, 19.70 gm.plant−1, 1.80 gm.plant−1, 1.75 % and 31.48 μL.plant−1) respectively. Results also showed the significant effect of spraying glutamic acid at a concentration (150 mg.L−1), which gave highest values in plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoot, percentage and yield of volatile oil (48.67 cm., 20.28 gm.plant−1, 1.83 gm.plant−1, 1.56 % and 29.08 μL.plant−1) respectively.

SUMMARYSerial sowings of three cultivars of oilseed rape were made from autumn (May) to spring (October) at two sites, one in the north and one in the south of Tasmania, in 1981. The highest seed yields at both sites exceeded 5 t/ha from early sowing, ranging down to c. 2 t/ha from late sowing at a site where irrigation was adequate and to < 1 t/ha where late-sown crops suffered from water stress. The midseason cultivar Marnoo gave the highest yields at both sites, resulting from a combination of substantial (800 g/m2) top growth before flowering, excellent seed survival, a long period for grain filling and high oil content. The early-flowering line RU1 made much less growth before flowering; while this was partly made up for in later growth, nearly as many seeds per pod being retained as in Marnoo, oil content was low. The later-flowering cultivar Wesbell made more growth before flowering than the other cultivars, but when sown early it tended to grow tall, lodge and lose many pods in the dense, tangled canopy. This, combined with generally fewer seeds per pod, resulted in a much less efficient crop in allocation of dry matter to seeds and oil. Wesbell failed to flower uniformly from the late sowings, indicating segregation for vernalization response. The many immature seeds at harvest gave a low overall oil content. All three cultivars responded to vernalization and longer photoperiod in a pot experiment. While photoperiod appeared to be the main factor controlling the development rate to flowering in the field, there were interactions with vernalization response andtemperature.

This paper presents the results of the research of soil contamination in flooded area located at the confluence of Bosna and Sava rivers. The sampling was performed according to a network of points Etrs89 reference European Network based on grid points of 500 m x 500 m. The total number of soil samples was 31 and 13 samples of sediment-mud. In the soil samples and sediment-mud samples various parameters were analyzed: pH H2O and 1 M KCl, humus (method by Tjurin), and the readily available phosphorus and potassium (AL method). The interpretation of total content of heavy metals in the soil was conducted according to Dutch Soil Remediation Circular (2009). The samples were analyzed for the total content of heavy metals: Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu (aqua regia digestion, AAS) and the elevated concentrations of Ni. However, Ni content in mud was from 240.5 mg/kg to 294.5 mg/kg, in soil it was from 128.9 mg/kg to 452.1 mg/kg. All mud samples were alkaline, and 79% of soil samples were alkaline and of neutral reaction. The analysis indicated that the flood in May 2014 was not caused by soil contamination with heavy metals, which however contributed to the increase of the overall content of these elements in the soil.
