Alhagi maurorum (A. maurorum) is one of the medicinally important plants belonging to the family leguminasae, commonly known as camel thorn. This research was amid to identify the chemical compounds in the aerial part of A. maurorum using GC-mass analysis. Three solvents with different polarities were used for the extraction of chemical constituent...

Plant extracts are becoming an increasingly precious source of eco-friendly pest control tools. This work investigated for the first time the validity of hexane and methanol extracts of Saussurea costus against four cattle and camel ectoparasites through envelop treatments. For phytochemical analyses, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry was used....

Biological control of undesirable weeds associated with crop cultivation is a sustainable approach that can reduce chemical herbicide dependence. The current study aimed to assess the bio-herbicidal potential of the donor species Ononis vaginalis Vahl. on germination efficiency as well as various growth and physiological parameters of the recipient...

Mosquitoes, one of the deadliest animals on the planet, cause millions of fatalities each year by transmitting several human illnesses. Phytochemicals are possible biological agents for controlling pests that are harmful to both human and animal health as well as crops. Plants contain a wide range of potential phytochemicals that are target-specifi...

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by plant extracts is a preferred method because it is an environmentally safe, fast and low cost method. Therefore, this study aimed to use aqueous extracts from (Sonchus oleraceus and Cichorium pumilum) to synthesize AgNPs, and their evaluation antifungal activity and inhibitory impact on the produc...

Weed infestation can be harmful to crop growth and cause severe losses in yield by absorbing nutrients and releasing inhibitory secondary metabolites and thus needs to be controlled for food security. The use of synthetic herbicides is one of the most widely applied methods, but its frequent usage is a serious threat to health and the environment a...

The present study examined the potential capacity of cement dust pollution on human health at Gharbanyyate district. The objective was prolonged to endorse specific herbal formulas (suggested solution) as supplements for decreasing the noxious consequences of the frequent heavy metals on human. Soil samples were collected from topsoil (0-30 cm) at...

Agricultural production is severely limited by iron deficiency. Alkaline soils increase iron deficiency in rice crops, consequently leading to nutrient deficiencies in humans. Adding iron to rice enhances both its elemental composition and the nutritional value it offers humans through the food chain. The purpose of the current pot experiment was t...

The current research was designed to evaluate the phytochemical contents and antimicrobial activity of Arthrocnemum macrostachyum (Moric) K. Koch, Suaeda pruinosa Lange and Kochia indica (Bassia indica) (Wight) A. J. Scott belongsto Chenopodiaceae (Amaranthaceae) family. This study revealed that in the case of A. macrostachyum the soil texture w...

Recently, botanical insecticides have more alertness in pest control programs for its various advantages. Alhagi maurorum plant (camel thorn) one of the important medicinal plants in Fabaceae. The phytoacaricidal activity of A. maurorum plant extracts was evaluated against Panonychus citri. The aerial part of A. maurorum was extracted by methanol,...

Bidens pilosa L. is an Asteraceae plant that originated from South America and can be found in the most countries of tropical and subtropical regions. The present study aimed to identify the flora and vegetation groups associated to the noxious species, B. pilosa to show its effect of the native flora. A 231 stands distributed in 5 governorates loc...

The main purpose of this work was to study the effect of TMV infection on physiology of active gradient photochemicals and protein expression in infected tobacco plants. Impact of Tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) on active gradient photochemicals quantitative and qualitative was evaluated in Nicotiana tobaccum cv. white burly. First, the TMV sample...

ygophyllum (Z. album) is one of the common species growing in Egypt. This species was collected from three different regions as well as texture soils (Gebel Elba, Ain Sokhna and North coast). Soils analysis under plants growing revealed variation in physicochemical characters of soil. On the other hand, they have different specific amount of the ch...

Money plants (Epipremnum aureum) cultivated soilless and clay soil representing habitat types in soilless shown to significant anatomical characters to adept ecosystem. The leaf anatomy showing increase of blades thickness; palisade and spongy tissues of soilless plants than clay soil ones. In contrast the thickness of upper and lower epidermis lay...

Pseudostem waste of banana plants shows the pharmacological activities and help to explore the medicinal value for the initiation of further extensive research on other possible biological activities. As well as for the development of new generic drugs for the better treatment of uncontrolled diseases. .This work presents the investigation of Phyto...
