“…The maximum antioxidant activity measured with FRAP assay in the harvested fenugreek seeds occurred in the treatment with the highest share of fenugreek plants (F:B = 2:1) with BL application, with FRAP values of 5.46 (2014) and 5.78 (2015) mg TE/g DW (Figure 2E,F). Our results are corroborated by Rostaei et al [38] who reported the application of organic manure on intercropped soybean-dill to result in higher antioxidant activity in the plants, especially when a larger proportion of soybean was in the intercropped system. Pandey et al [40] also determined the beneficial effects of organic manure application on the secondary metabolic pathways to increase the antioxidant activity.…”

“…The highest DPPH level in fenugreek seeds was measured with BL application, in 2014 in the F:B = 2:1 with 5.42 mg TE/g DW, and in 2015 in the F:B = 2:1 with 5.48 and in the F:B = 1:1 with 5.10 mg TE/g DW. The increase in antioxidant activity could be caused by the overall promotion of organic manure in supplying macro-and micro-nutrients that are responsible for antioxidant activity [38]. In connection with the effect of intercropping, Moghbeli et al [39] reported ascorbic acid content (one of the most powerful antioxidants) in a fenugreek-onion intercropped system to increase with decreasing onion density so that the peak levels of antioxidants in fenugreek were in treatments with a higher fenugreek density.…”

“…Organically fertilized intercropped systems supply organic materials, which enrich the soil microbe population (such as bacteria, fungi, and nematodes) that are beneficial to plant roots. The interaction between soil microbes and plant roots increase the synthesis of flavonoids [38,51,52] 3.5. Flavonoids Compounds Content…”

“…The accumulation of macronutrients (such as nitrogen phosphorous, sulfur, and potassium) is increased by nutrient complementarity in intercrop systems and application of organic fertilizer [38]. These nutrients are readily available to the crops and that are then utilized in secondary metabolite synthesis, and subsequently increase the concentration of main flavonoids [52].…”

Antioxidants and flavonoids are beneficial compounds used in the pharmaceutical and food industries that are derived from natural sources. A two-year field experiment was undertaken to investigate the effect of agricultural management practices on the trigonelline content, antioxidant activity measured with DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Fe+++-Reduction, Ferric reducing antioxidant power), total phenolic content, total flavonoids content, and specific flavonoid contents of fenugreek seeds. The treatments examined were sole fenugreek (Sole F) and three intercropping ratios with buckwheat (B) (F:B = 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2), each with three types of fertilizer (chemical fertilizer, integrated fertilizer, and broiler litter). The highest trigonelline content of fenugreek seeds was obtained in F:B = 2:1 fertilized with broiler litter. Compared to Sole F, the fenugreek seeds harvested in the intercropped treatments had higher antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, vitexin, isovitexin, orientin, and isoorientin. The treatment F:B = 2:1 enhanced the antioxidant activity and the content of bioactive compounds. Overall, the addition of organic manure to fenugreek seeds was highly effective at promoting all compounds analyzed in both the sole and the intercrop systems. Our study found that harvested fenugreek seeds from plants that were intercropped with buckwheat and with the application of organic fertilizer enhanced the seed content of antioxidants and flavonoids.

“…Free radicals, by attacking to unsaturated fatty acids and launching of alkylation in the structure of the protein and other cellular macromolecules, result in cell membrane lipid peroxidation, change of enzyme activity, cellular damage, and finally the necrosis (2). The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can arrest cell cycle and increase the rate of apoptosis process, which in turn reduce daily sperm production and the total number of sperms (3)(4)(5).…”

Introduction: Morphine (MOR) as a psychoactive agent in the opium family causes free radicals accumulation which leads to failure in spermatogenesis. Gallic acid (GA), a polyphenolic acid, is found in various plants with antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-allergic activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of GA against MOR-induced damage to the reproductive parameter of rats. Methods: Sixty-four male Wistar rats (8 weeks, 220-250 g) were categorized into 8 groups by random (n=8/each); normal control and MOR control groups; GA groups (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) and MOR + GA groups (5, 10, 20 mg/kg). Treatments were administered intraperitoneally (i.p), daily for 4 weeks. The sperm parameters, spermatogenesis index (SI), total antioxidant capacity, testosterone level, and seminiferous tube diameter (STD) were assessed. Results: All sperm parameters reduced significantly in the MOR control group than to the normal control group (P < 0.01). All parameters were significantly improved in GA and GA + MOR treatment groups compared to the MOR control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: MOR caused a detrimental effect on male reproductive parameters. Also, no significant modifications were observed in all doses of GA treatments in comparison with the normal control group. GA compensates the toxic effect of MOR on reproductive parameters. Hence, GA administration is beneficial in MOR users.

This study evaluates the effects of intercropping patterns, plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on seed yield and yield components of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum‐graecum L.), as well as the essential oil and fatty acid profile of black cumin. A two‐year two‐factorial field experiment was conducted in 2015 and 2016 to investigate intercropping of black cumin and fenugreek in five ratios and biofertilizer application as AMF and bacteria. Intercropping reveals higher concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus compared with monocropping, whereas monocropping inoculated with bacteria shows the highest seed yield of both fenugreek (151 g m−2) and black cumin (148 g m−2). Regarding the quality of black cumin, the combination of a black cumin:fenugreek‐intercropping pattern of 66:34 with bacteria fertilization is most promising, as it shows i) the maximum essential oil content, oil yield, and fixed oil content, ii) the highest contents of thymol and p‐cymene, iii) the highest content of linoleic acid, and iv) the maximum land equivalent ratio. Conclusively, bacteria fertilization and black cumin:fenugreek‐intercropping pattern of 66:34 helps improving essential oil, fixed oil quality, and quantity of black cumin, thus creating a more sustainable cultivation system for black cumin and fenugreek.
