Phytotoxicity of Black Cumin (Nigella Sativa), Dragonhead 3059 Phytotoxicity of black cumin (Nigella sativa), dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica), dill (Anethum graveolens), and soybean (Glycin max) residues on emergence and establishment of wheat Sian Fallah1*, Zahra Alimohammadi1, Zohrab Adavi2 and Mojtaba Karimi1 1. Faculty of Agriculture, Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, Iran 2. College of Agriculture, Payame Noor University, Isfahan, Iran _______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Allelopathic effects of plant residues is an important research avenue regarding optimization of rotation systems in agronomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of four plant residues, namely, black cumin, dragonhead, dill, and soybean on the germination and growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in different cropping systems. Results showed that application of organic manure for previous crops reduced the residue phytotoxicity and consequently alleviated the adverse effect of plant residues on the leaf area, length, and dry weight of the wheat root, affecting chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids of wheat seedling leaves. In the presence of plant residue, the length and dry weight of the wheat roots were more negatively affected in comparison with shoots. The greatest allelopathic inhibition was observed for the wheat cultivated in the residue of black cumin, but soybean, dill, and dragonhead residues also potentially showed inhibition effects. It can be concluded that agroecosystems in which autumn wheat is in the rotation should be avoided where there are residues of soybean, black cumin, dragonhead, and dill. The tillage system in the same condition may not be agronomically suitable because of the allelopathic effects of previous crops.

The result included 480 Hubbard broiler chicks( day- old) There were 4 treatment groups each consisting of 3 replicates .The four dietary treatments consisted of a control ( basal diet ) , basal diet + 0.5% GP , basal diet +0.5% BS and basal diet +0.5% plant premix (GP and BS) , to the starter and finisher diet. The experiment lasted 42 days. Body weight , body weight gain , feed intake and feed conversion ratio were determined weekly and intestinal characteristics were determined at the end of the study (42 day) .The addition of GP and BS plant premix (GP and BS) to the diet resulted in significantly higher body weight , body weight gain and feed intake as compared to that of control group. However , feed conversion ratio was not influenced by dietary treatment (p>0.05) . The villus height , crypt depth and crypt depth to villus height ratio was significantly higher in group garlic powder and plant premix (GP and BS) than other groups.

Well documented complications of DM include, neuropathy, nephropathy, microangiopathy, and retinopathy. The negative impact of the disorder is also found in other cells, including male reproductive system. In this study, fifty adult Wistar albino male rats were used. The rats were divided into 10 groups, each group comprised of 5 rats. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ, effects of DM were observed on the sperm producing cells then preventive as well as curative effects of Metformin, Punica granatum, Nigella sativa and Zingiber officinale were observed. It was found that all the substances prevent as well as repair/cure the damage caused by DM to the seminiferous tubules and other structures. The results of this study show that Metformin though prevented and caused repair to the damaged cells as well, but was not as effective as Punica granatum, Nigella sativa and Zingiber officinale.

Sridevi1 and V. Vijaya Bhaskar* Department of Horticulture, College of Horticulture, Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Anantharajupeta, KADAPA (A.P.) INDIA (Email : [email protected] ) Abstract : Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a tropical fruit and grown in many parts of the world predominantly in the Mediterranean region. Fresh seeds (arils) are consumed. Arils contain around 80 per cent of juice and 20 per cent of seed. However, quick browning and desiccation are the important concerns of quality during postharvest storage. To prevent quick moisture loss and browning of arils, applied different concentrations of black cumin seed oil and starch as a coating to improve the shelf life and quality of arils. Results showed that pomegranate arils coated with Nigella sativa oil at 200 ppm concentration recorded significantly lowest total sugars content and titrable acidity during the initial stages, whereas at later stages recorded significantly highest total sugars (14.408 and 13.687, respectively on days 12 and 16) and titrable acidity (0.382 and 0.358 on day 12 and 16). Further, arils treated with Nigella sativa oil at 200 ppm concentration recorded significantly lowest per cent of spoilage, physiological loss in weight and recorded significantly highest antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid and anthocyanins content.

Plants have always been a major source of nutrition and health care for both humans and animals. This article reviews the main reports of the pharmacological, traditional value and folk remedies of this herb, of N. sativa and its constituents. Nigella sativa commonly known as Kalonji is an annual flowering plant , native to southwest Asia . Seeds and their oil have a long history of folklore usage in various systems of medicines and are used in food as well as medicine which may help the researchers to set their minds for approaching the utility, efficacy and potency of Nigella sativa.

Situated on the road linking Mumbai and Agra — now National Highway No 3 — it was once a small junction known as Maliwadi (hamlet of gardens) and quickly gained the reputation for being a source of employment. When a local jahagirdar, Naro Shankar Raje Bahadur, started building a fort in the area in 1740, a project that took 25 years, a sizeable number of Muslim workers and artisans from places like Surat and northern India settled in the area.

The latter was further fractionated with chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol. Rose oil and different petal extracts were evaluated against three fungi and eleven Gram-positive, Gram-negative and acid-fast bacteria. Rose oil and all extracts exerted broad spectrum antimicrobial activities against the tested organisms. The descending order of antifungal activity of rose oil and different extracts was, Penicillium notatum, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Ethyl acetate extracted fraction was relatively more active against the tested bacteria than the other tested extracts. Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pyogenes were more sensitive than Gram-negative bacteria and had MICs and MBCs in the range of 0.125 to 2 mg/ml and 0.5 to 4 mg/ml respectively. Acinetobacter baumannii, which is intrinsically resistant to most antibiotics, was relatively more sensitive than other Gram-negative bacteria. On the contrary, Klebsiella pneumoniae was the least sensitive Gram-negative bacterium.

Abdou1 and Ghada G. Rashed2 1Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. 2Poultry Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. (Received 1/10/2014, Accepted 1/2/2015) SUMMARY total number of 160 one day-old Japanese quails were used to evaluate some herbal feed additives (black seed and garlic) as growth promoters for quails, Birds were divided into four A equal groups. The treatments were control (0% additives), 3% black seed, 3% garlic and 3% black seed + 3% garlic. Birds were exposed to16 hours light daily; feed and water were given ad-libitum. The experiment lasted for 10 weeks, during which some productive, physiological and immunological parameters were taken. Results indicated that using black seed and garlic improved body weight during 0-6 weeks of age. Black seed and garlic alone or in combination significantly decreased the feed intake at 4, 5, 6 weeks of age and increased feed conversion. Using black seed and garlic increased egg number, egg weight and egg mass. Adding black seed and garlic decreased serum cholesterol, LDL, HDL and total lipids in the treatments compared with control group. All treatments increased serum total protein, albumin and globulin. However, yolk cholesterol, LDL, HDL and total lipids were decreased by using all treatments compared to control group. Primary and secondary responses to Newcastle disease virus were higher in garlic group than black seed and control groups.
