Plants have always been the focus of mankind. They are the source of food, shelter and even medicine. The Ayur- veda claims the medicinal values of the plant along with animals and mineral sources. The quest for the addition of the plants as new medicine never ends. Kalanchoe pinnata Pers previously known as Bryophullum pinnatam of Crassulaceae family is the addition to Ayurveda named as Parnabeeja recognizing the medicinal efficacy. The vision of researchers attracted towards this ornamental plant recently, to explore the mysterious therapeutic effi- cacies and provide the evidence.

Kalanchoe Pinnata

Various species of Kalanchoe plant has been widely used for traditional medicine and also as an ornamental plant. This research is a continuing search for secondary metabolites from Kalanchoe plants in Indonesia. The fresh leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata (6 kg) was extracted at room temperature with methanol to obtain a concentrated extract. The concentrated extract of methanol was further partitioned successively with n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Yellow solid of pure isolates from ethyl acetate extract was separated by various chromatographic techniques. The chemical structure of isolates was determined by spectroscopic analysis of UV, IR , MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR data and a comparison wih those previously reported on literature and identified as a flavonoid compound 3,3’,4’,5,7 pentahydroxyiflavone also known as kuersetin which belong to the flavonol class.

Isolated Compound

Phenenthrene alkaloid identified as 1-ethanamino 7 hex-1-yne-5I-one phenanthrene was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the leaves ofBryophyllum pinnatum(syn. B. calcinum kalanchoe pinnata) a versatile Nigeria medicinal plant. The structure was elucidated using NMR, IR, UV and MS spectral data. Antimicrobial studies showed that the isolated compound successfully inhibitedPsuedomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicansandAspergillus niger. This result authenticates the use ofbryophyllum pinantumin phytomedicine for disease prevention and treatment of infections.

Professional peat-free substrates for ornamental plant production are increasingly required by nursery growers. Most promising materials are green compost, coconut coir dust, and woody fibre, used alone or in mixtures. One of the major concerns is pH, usually higher than optimal. In this work, a method based on a three-step procedure was adopted to acidify three organic matrices alone or in mixtures and to individuate the most suitable product, between iron(II) sulphate 7-hydrate and elemental sulphur chips. Firstly, the determination of the buffering capacity by dilution with sulphuric acid was carried out to determine dosages. Afterwards, an incubation trial of 84 (iron(II) sulphate) or 120 days (sulphur chips) was conducted on matrices and substrate mixtures with calculated doses in a climatic chamber maintained at 21 °C. Iron(II) sulphate resulted not suitable because it caused a rapid, but not lasting, pH lowering and an excessive electrical conductivity (EC) increase. Sulphur chips could instead guarantee an adequate and lasting pH lowering. These results were then validated in the open field trial on matrices and substrates. The proposed acidification methodology could be considered in developing new substrates, but the rapidity of pH acidification and EC increase on plant and mineral nutrition should be further investigated.

The present study investigated the effect of a moderate substitution of inorganic mineral sources with chelated mineral sources from four weeks prior to parturition throughout lactation on sow and litter performance. In addition, the aims were to determine whether the mineral source and litter performance affect mineral status and accretion in piglets at birth and at weaning. Forty gestating sows in a commercial pig herd were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups, with part of the Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe content of the feed added as either an inorganic mineral source or a chelated mineral source. From each sow, one piglet was randomly selected at birth and at weaning for total body mineral analysis. Neither the performance of the sows and the piglets nor the total body mineral concentrations of the piglets at birth and at weaning were significantly different between the two diet groups (<i>P</i> > 0.05). Fe, Na and P content of piglets at birth were inversely correlated with birth weight (<i>r</i> = –0.447, <i>P</i> = 0.004 for Fe; <i>r</i> = –0.431, <i>P</i> = 0.005 for Na; <i>r</i> = –0.340, <i>P</i> = 0.032 for P). Daily accretion rate of K and Ca of piglets was positively correlated with piglet growth performance during the entire lactation period (<i>r</i> = 0.469, <i>P</i> = 0.008 for K; <i>r</i> = 0.581, <i>P</i> < 0.001 for Ca), and negatively correlated with number of liveborn piglets (<i>r</i> = –0.424, <i>P</i> = 0.014 for K, and <i>r</i> = –0.405, <i>P</i> = 0.027 for Ca). In conclusion, the study documented that partial substitution of inorganic minerals with a chelated mineral source failed to exert significant effects on performance and total body mineral concentrations. The importance of the influence of sow milk production on mineral body stores in piglets warrants further investigation.

Nine runoff containment basins (RCBs), used directly or indirectly for irrigating plants in ornamental plant nurseries, and one adjacent stream were sampled for water quality between Feb. and July 2013 in Maryland (MD), Mississippi (MS), and Virginia (VA). Triplicate water samples were taken monthly. Analysis was done for 18 water quality variables including nitrate-nitrogen (NO3−-N) and ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N), orthophosphate-phosphorus (PO4-P) and total-phosphorus (T-P), potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, aluminum, boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese, zinc (Zn), pH, total alkalinity (T-Alk), electrical conductivity (EC), and sodium. Additionally, 15 RCBs from 10 nurseries in Alabama (AL), Louisiana (LA), and MS were sampled in 2014 and 2016. Most prevalent correlations (P = 0.01) were between macronutrients, EC, B, Fe, and Zn, but none were prevalent across a majority of RCBs. Water quality parameter values were mostly present at low to preferred levels in all 25 waterways. Macronutrient levels were highest for a RCB that receives fertility from fertigation derived runoff. Water pH ranged from acidic to alkaline (>8). Results of this study show water quality in RCBs can be suitable for promoting plant health in ornamental plant nurseries, but also shows levels will vary between individual RCBs, therefore demonstrates need to verify water quality from individual water sources.
