The study aimed to estimate water requirements for Anise, the crop
coefficient, and the effect of three water stress treatments out of full irrigation
amount respectively) on its yield
In this research, the changes on these seeds during storage:
total oil, volatile oil, and the major components of volatile oils were
determined. A decrease in the total and volatile oils and all
components of volatile oils were found.
The effect of organic and biological fertilizers on the yield and quality of Shami anise plant grown in Abi Jerash farm, Faculty of Agriculture in the conditions of Damascus city, and testing the anti-fungal effect of Shami anise oil and its extracts on Candida albicans.
دراسة إضافة كل من اليانسون والبابونج والقرفة والثوم إلى خلطات فروج اللحم وتأثيرها في بعض المؤشرات الإنتاجية والفيزيولوجية والصحية
This research was carried out at the farm of Faculty of Agriculture,
Damascus University, during 2010-2011 growing season to determine the effect
of seedling rate on yield traits (plant number at harvesting, plant height,
number of umbels/plant, n
umber and weight of seeds/ umbel, plant dry weight,
seed yield and harvest index.) of four ecogenotypes of Anise plants, (Pimpinella
anisum L.) collected from different places of Syria: Damascus countryside
(Hena, Saasaa), Homs and Edlib. Sowing rates were 10, 15 and 20 Kg/ha.. Trial
was laid out using completely randomized block design with three replicates for
each treatment. Results showed that studied traits differed according to seeding
rate and the ecotype. There were significant differences for the treatment of
seeding rate of 15 kg/ha., on seed yield. Regardless the ecotype, increasing the
seeding rate up to 20 kg/ha. resulted in maintenance of highest number of
plants/unit area, but accompanied with reduction in fertile umbels and seed
weight. Statistical analysis showed that the ecotype of Edlib recorded the
highest seed weight/ plant and highest seed yield/ planted area, especially with
the seeding rate of 15 kg/ha. However, the results showed the seed components
of Anise (plant number at harvesting, weight of seeds/ plant) and seed yield
were affected by the ecotype and seeding rate.
Aniseed Crop, Pimpinella anisum L. is one of the important medicinal and
aromatic plants in Syria and the world. It has very important economic value,
appear in its medicinal and multi-uses. Weeds considered as the greatest
obstruct for aniseed pr
oduction and hand picking is commonly used for weed
control. So the investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of the
herbicide, Afalon on the weeds of aniseed and its phytotoxicity. Afalon
treatment resulted in high efficacy for the broad leaves weeds (92.4 %, 97.1 %
and 96.1 %) for the half rate, field rate and double field rate, respectively and
(5.8 %, 23.9 % and 29.1 %) for the narrow weeds. The treatment of double
field rate gave a high yield (715.3 Kg/ha.) that was equal to weeded plots (777.8
Kg/ha.), and the field rate treatment (673.6 Kg/ha.) was significantly superior
to other treatment. This indicated the importance of spraying aniseed crop with
Afalon especially when hand picking not possible. Phytotoxicity effect were not
recorded on anise plants. Some other plants were not affected by the herbicide
like Ammi majus and coriander, those are belong to the same family, Apiaceae.
