  • Satureja Nepetoides Famiglia LAMIACEAE Quello Della Menta, Numerosi Piatti Di Carne, Pesce E Funghi
    AMBIENTE – Originaria delle zone montane del bacino mediterraneo, in Italia è molto comune su tutto il territorio. Cresce nei prati poveri, nei pascoli, nei luoghi erbosi, nelle radure boschive, dal piano a 1500m. CARATTERI BOTANICI FUSTO – La parte aerea del fusto è ascendente (legnosa in basso). La superficie è ricoperta di peli inclinati. I fusti sono alti 30-80 cm. FOGLIE – Le foglie, opposte, sono ovato-ellittiche e crenato- serrate ai margini. FIORI – I fiori hanno una grande corolla bilabiata e sono azzurro- violacei o rosa, riuniti in infiorescenze ascellari. Fioritura: maggio- ottobre FRUTTI - Il frutto è uno schizocarpo composto da 4 nucule glabre e lisce. Le nucule sono provviste di areole di colore marrone. USI - La pianta ha proprietà terapeutiche digestive, diaforetiche, carminative, febbrifughe, stomachiche ed espettoranti. I suoi principi attivi si trovano in oli essenziali, mucillagini e tannini e si consumano sotto forma di infusi o tinture. È usata anche contro la depressione, l'insonnia e i dolori mestruali. Le foglie tritate insaporiscono, con un gradevole aroma simile a Satureja nepetoides Famiglia LAMIACEAE quello della menta, numerosi piatti di carne, pesce e funghi. Vi si può produrre del miele, ma è rarissimo, perché la pianta, anche MENTUCCIA, NEPETELLA se abbastanza comune, non è mai abbondante; comunque è molto bottinata dalle api ed è buona una fonte di nettare e ETIMOLOGIA - L'etimologia del nome Satureja è incerta. Forse polline. In Sicilia entra a far parte dell'aromatizzazione delle olive da tavola. Nel Lazio si usa per la preparazione dei carciofi alla deriva dalla radice latina "satura" che significa "sazia", in riferimento alle supposte proprietà digestive dei succhi delle romana.

The “Coffee Rejuvenation Strategies in Vietnam” has risked not being complete on schedule, with the low survival rate of seedlings on replanted soil, due to the nutrient loss and imbalance supplements after a long-term of monoculture and intensive cultivation. In this study, measures, including biochemical and organic treatments were applied to replanted coffee farm, in order to supplement the loss of nutrient cycling. Survival rate, growth indicators, and soil properties from the controls and treatments, were monitored and compared during the experimental periods. The results suggested the optimal tillage model as follow: Remove old coffee trees with their stumps and roots; liming 1.5 tons/ha; dry tillage soil for the first 6 months; Intercrop Mexican marigold (Tagetes erecta) with new coffee plants for the next 6 months; From the second year, apply 5 kg of microbial organic fertilizer /hole/year; bury 30 kg of green manure/hole/2–3 years; apply NPK fertilizers according to the governmental recommended procedure.

WEAVER,l CARL D. WELLS,2.3FLORENCE V. DUNKEL, WOLFGANG BERTSCH,2 SHARLENE E. SING,l AND SHOBHA SRIHARAN4 Department of Entomology, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717 J. Econ. Entomol. 87(6): 1718-1725 (1994) ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted to determine speed of action and toxicities of extracts of Tagetes minuta L., a source of naturally occurring insecticidal compounds. LC50 values for male and female Mexican bean weevils, Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman), were determined for /loral, foliar, and root extracts of T. minuta. The 24-h LCso values ranged from 138 lJ-g/cm2 for males exposed to the root extract (most susceptible) to 803 wlJcm2 for females exposed to the foliar extract (least susceptible). Increasing the duration of exposure 2 to 48 h decreased all LCso values 20-30 lJ-g/cm • Males were more susceptible than females. The time to incapacitation for 50% of the test insects (IT 50) for floral and foliar extracts indicated fast-acting, volatile components, whereas the root extract data indicated slower-acting components, likely a result of the interaction of photophase with time- dependent efficacy. Floral and foliar extracts of T. minuta may be useful as insecticides for controlling stored-product pests. KEY WORDS Zabrotes subfasciatus, Tagetes minuta, extracts MARIGOLDS,Tagetes spp., are a useful intercrop extract was 8.1 mg/g for Rhyzopertha dominica in agriculture.

Hence the need to design a database of the Italian alimurgic flora: AlimurgITA. Only strictly alimurgic taxa were chosen, excluding casual alien and cultivated ones. The collected data come from an archive of 358 texts (books and scientific articles) from 1918 to date, chosen with appropriate criteria. For each taxon, the part of the plant used, the method of use, the chorotype, the biological form and the regional distribution in Italy were considered. The 1103 taxa of edible flora already entered in the database equal 13.09% of Italian flora. The most widespread family is that of the Asteraceae (20.22%); the most widely used taxa are Cichorium intybus and Borago officinalis. The not homogeneous regional distribution of WEPs (maximum in the south and minimum in the north) has been interpreted. Texts published reached its peak during the 2001–2010 decade. A database for Italian WEPs is important to have a synthesis and to represent the richness and Citation: Paura, B.; Di Marzio, P.; complexity of this knowledge, also in light of its potential for cultural enhancement, as well as its Salerno, G.; Brugiapaglia, E.; Bufano, applications for the agri-food system.

  • Genetic Marker Resources for Application in Cyclopia Species
    Genetic marker resources for application in Cyclopia species by Marioné Niemandt Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of AgriSciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisors: Prof Rouvay Roodt-Wilding and Dr Cecilia Bester Co-supervisor: Mr Kenneth Tobutt December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Cyclopia species are endemic to the Fynbos Biome of South Africa and have been utilised for many years as a health drink known as honeybush tea. Despite the commercial importance of Cyclopia, no molecular resources are available to characterise this genus. The polyploid nature furthermore limits the use of molecular markers as some species exhibit up to 14 sets of chromosomes (Cyclopia intermedia and Cyclopia meyeriana: 2n = 14x = 126). This study optimised a DNA extraction protocol for various Cyclopia species in order to obtain high quality DNA as the first crucial step during molecular genetic studies. The use of young, fresh leaves as starting material for DNA extraction presents a challenge when sampling from distant locations; therefore, a CTAB/NaCl buffer was optimised to preserve the leaves for up to two weeks prior to DNA extraction under laboratory conditions.
