“…It has been found to be effective in disorders of gastrointestinal tract as carminative and anti-colic. Its antioxidant potential has found its use as anxiolytic [16]. Moreover fennel seeds are utilized as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, galactagogue, hepatoprotective, secretomotor and in eye lotions in European and Mediterranean regions.…”

Aim:To evaluate the antiamnesic and antidepressant effect of Foeniculum vulgare whole crushed seeds. Study Design: Laboratory based randomized control study. Place and Duration of Study: Methodology: Thirty swiss albino mice and wistar rats were divided equally in three groups. Control group was fed on standard rodent diet, group 2 was fed on 2% Foeniculum vulgare diet and group 3 was given 4% Foeniculum vulgare diet. Antidepressant activity was assessed using forced swimming test. Memory enhancement effect was evaluated by stationary rod test, passive avoidance test and water maze test. Abbas et al.; JAMMR, 32(1): 131-138, 2020; Article no.JAMMR.54564 132 Results: Increased duration of struggling time was noted in both group 2 and group 3 as compared to control in forced swimming test. Decrease in time to reach platform in both water maze and stationary rod test was recorded in both the study group (group 2 & 3). Increase in step through latency was also seen in group 2 and group 3 as compared to control group. Conclusion: The results showed the memory enhancing and antidepressant actions of Foeniculum.

“…Application of organic fertilizer also improves the content of secondary metabolites such as phenols, flavonoids and vitamin C of the plants. These compounds are responsible for plant resistance to pests and diseases, as well as for improvement of human health (Salama et al 2015). Unfortunately, the increase of soybean yield following organic matter application could not be achieved instantly since the manure needs a long time to have its nutrients available to the plants.…”

“…In addition, organic fertilizer increases the organic matter content and soil microbe population (Hao et al 2007). Applying both chemical and organic fertilizers resulted in higher crop yield (Yang et al 2015) and higher phenols, flavonoids and vitamin C contents (Salama et al 2015) compared to those obtained by each fertilizer when applied individually.…”

Abstract. Kuntyastuti H, Sutrisno. 2017. Effect of manure, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, and chemical fertilizer application on the growth and yield of soybean. Nusantara . This study aimed to determine the dosages of organic, chemical and biological fertilizers for optimum growth and yield of soybean grown in acidic dryland. Treatments applied were twelve combinations of inorganic fertilizer, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), and manure. These treatments were arranged in a randomized block design, each was three replicates. The growth variables of plant height and chlorophyll index were observed in every two weeks interval, started at two weeks after planting. Root length and number of nodules were observed at 45 days after planting when the maximum vegetative growth occurred. Stem and root dry weight, number of filled and empty pods, pod dry weight, grain weight, and number of seeds per plant were observed at harvest. Optimum soybean growth and yield were achieved when soybean plants were treated with a combination of 1500 kg ha -1 of manure + PSB +150 kg ha -1 of NPK chemical fertilizer.Keywords: Chemical fertilizer, dry acid soil, manure, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, soybeanAbbreviations: NPK = nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, PSB = Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, DAP = day after planting, WAP = week after planting, LCI = leaf chlorophyll index, CEC = cation exchange capacity

“…Now, there exist several national systems of designated requirements to have vegetable products marketed as » organically produced«. In fresh vegetable market, organically grown products of reasonable quality are readily available, but their price is usually much higher compared to those grown by the other than organic manner [12,13].…”

Radicchio (Cichorium intybus L.) is an increasingly appreciated leafy vegetable that exhibits great diversity in appearance, including different colored leaves, rosettes, or heads. Varieties of radicchio ('Treviso', 'Verona' 'Anivip', 'Castelfranco', and 'Monivip') commonly produced in Slovenia were investigated for their phenolic and fatty acid profiles. Plants were grown under organic and/or mineral fertilizer managements in greenhouse conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis was used to study phenolic compounds in radicchio leaf samples. Thirty-three phenolic compounds were quantitatively evaluated. Significant differences were found between varieties and across different fertilizer managements. The total phenolic amount (TPA) was found in a wide range from 58 to 403 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW). Between varieties, the highest TPA was observed for var. 'Treviso' (300 mg/100 g FW) and the lowest TPA was observed for var. 'Castelfranco' (125 mg/100 g FW). The main phenolic compounds in radicchio leaves were represented by phenolic acids, chlorogenic acid and cichoric acid, respectively. The fatty acid levels of radicchio leaf samples were determined by the chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The analysis revealed the amounts of C16:0, C18:0, C18:1n9, C18:2n6, C18:3n3, and C20:0 fatty acids. The total fatty acid levels varied from 170 to 500 mg/100 g FW. The highest fatty acid quantity was represented by C18:3n3 (≤63%) followed by C18:2n6 (≤45%) and C16:0 (≤24%). All radicchio samples had a ratio of n-6/n-3 essential fatty acids below 1 and thus in accordance with the current dietary guidelines. Among different fertilizer managements, the highest total fatty acid levels were found for organic fertilizer (384 mg/100 g FW).
