“…They are extracted by hydrodistillation from plant tissues, mainly aerial parts (flowers, leaves or fruits). The EOs are aromatic, characterized by a pungent odour, limpid and differently coloured, soluble in organic solvents with lower density than water (Palazzolo et al 2013). EOs showed herbicide effects both in scientific studies and commercial formulations.…”

“…Karp et alin 1982 evidenced that sabinene is an essential precursor of thujone-like compounds, a typical volatile allelochemicals according to Zeng et al, 2008. Another important component of tangerine EOs is citral, a mixture of geranial and neral (Palazzolo et al 2013). It is used to confer lemon flavour to food, perfumes and soaps, and it is largely used also in pharmaceutical and chemical industry (Kim et al 2016).…”

-Effects of different weed control practices on soil quality in mediterranean crops I Abstract: Effects of different weed control practices on soil quality in mediterranean cropsThis research approaches the question of weed control sustainability, from the point of view of soil quality maintenance and enhancing.A big choice of practices and products for weed control are available nowadays, but the actual definition of "sustainable practice" not always considers soil fertility. Soil processes timescale is wider than the productive, commercial and legislative ones. Also the definition of survey protocols is a process slower than the evolution of weed control methods.The faster reaction in the soil ecosystem after an external pressure is given by the organisms living in it, and the microbial community is finally the most effective agent in nutrient recycling processes.In this investigation, the same soil analysis protocol was applied on soil samples exposed to different weed management and control methods. Using soil quality indexes and bioindicators, soil properties variations after the different weed control treatments were compared. In particular soil carbon pool and how microbial community recycles was surveyed. A standard protocol to both find variations in long-term soil quality and survey the short-term impact of weed control practices on soil biological processes was defined.Weed management practices can interact with the nutrients recycling processes performed by the microorganisms living in the soil. These processes have a central role in maintaining soil fertility, one of the most important resources for agriculture.Three weed management practices were compared: the use of synthetic (oxyfluorfen) or natural (essential oils and aqueous extracts) herbicides and two mechanical methods (tillage and mulching).Soil fertility was monitored measuring soil physical-chemical values and elaborating soil quality indexes and bioindicators.Effects of different weed control practices on soil quality in mediterranean crops II Riassunto: Effetti di diverse tecniche di gestione delle erbe infestanti dei coltivi mediterranei sulla qualità del suolo Questa ricerca si occupa di un ramo della sostenibilità ambientale del controllo delle arvensi infestanti, dal punto di vista del mantenimento e del miglioramento della qualità del suolo. Oggi è disponibile sul mercato una vasta gamma di prodotti e di tecniche, ma la stessa definizione di "pratica sostenibile" non sempre tiene in considerazione la fertilità del suolo.I processi che avvengono nel suolo hanno infatti scale temporali più ampie rispetto a quelli produttivi, commerciali e legislativi. Anche la definizione dei protocolli di indagine è un processo più lento rispetto all'evoluzione commerciale dei metodi di controllo delle infestanti. In seguito ad una pressione esterna, la parte dell'ecosistema suolo che reagisce più velocemente sono gli organismi che in esso vivono, e la comunità microbica è in definitiva l'operatore più efficace nel riciclare i nutrienti del suolo.In...

Most species of the genus Laggera are often used in traditional and folk medicines for the treatment of jaundice, inflammation, leukemia, removing phlegm, bronchitis and bacterial diseases. The essential oils obtained from Laggera plants are rich sources of oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Among oxygenated monoterpenes, aromatic ether 2,5‐dimethoxy‐p‐cymene is the most abundant and dominant compound of many essential oils of the Laggera species. Till today, to the best of our knowledge, chemical compounds of the essential oils and/or extracts of only eight Laggera species were reported from different countries. Thus, this review presents the chemical compositions and biological activities of the essential oils of these plants studied in thirteen countries. In addition, it discusses the reported ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological information as well as biological activities of the extracts and some of the isolated compounds of Laggera plants species.
