In 2017–2019, we conducted a comparative study of morphological and biological characteristics and productivity parameters of Foeniculum vulgare variety ‘Oksamyt Kryma’ in three regions of the Russian Federations: foothill zone (Crimea), central region of the non-chernozem zone (Moscow suburbs) and western Ciscaucasia (Krasnodar Krai) to determine the most favourable conditions for cultivation. The above-mentioned zones differed greatly in meteorological and soil conditions. The highest yield (on average 18.0 kg/ha) and the greatest accumulation of essential oil (on average 9.9 kg/ha) were obtained in the Krasnodar Krai. Weather, climatic and soil conditions of the Moscow suburbs, where productivity indicators were the lowest, are unfavourable for fennel growing.

Nutritional status, fruiting, yield and essential oil of fennel plants (Foeniculum vulgare L.) grown under clay loam soil conditions located at Beni Suwef governorate – Egypt in response to partial replacement of conventional NPK-mineral fertilizers by NPK-nano fertilizers at 25%, 50% and 75%, were investigated during 2017 and 2018 seasons. Increasing the replacement ratio of conventional NPK-mineral fertilizers by NPK-nano fertilizers from 25% to 75% was very effective in improving vegetative growth leaf mineral contents (N, P, K, Mg and Ca), and essential oil % rather than using 100% conventional NPK fertilizers. The gradual increasing the ratio of nano NPK fertilizers from 25% to 75% was remarkably enhancing oil yield/plant as well as oil yield/feddan. However, non-significant differences were observed between the two heights ratio 50% and 75% nano-fertilizers ratio.

Medicinal plants are considered modern resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in demeanor of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare (FV) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry was done to specify chemical composion. As a screen test to detect antibacterial properties of the essential oil, agar disk and agar well diffusion methods were employed. Macrobroth tube test was performed to determinate MIC. The results indicated that the most substance found in FV essential oil was Trans-anethole (47.41 %), also the essential oil of FV with 0.007 g/ml concentration has prevented P. aeruginosa and with 0.002 g/ml concentration has prevented B. subtilis from the growth. Thus, the research represents the antibacterial effects of the medical herb on test P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis. We believe that the article provide support to the antibacterial properties of the essential oil. The results indicate the fact that the essential oil from the plant can be useful as medicinal or preservatives composition.

Abstract The objective of current study was to determine the chemical constituents and fumigant toxicity of essential oil isolated by hydro-distillation from dry fruit of bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller). The chemical composition of the essential oil was assessed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Constituents of the oil were determined as α-pinene (1.6%) and limonene (3.3%), fenchone (27.3%), estragol (3.9%), and (E)-anethole (61.1%). The fumigant toxicity of the essential oil was tested on larvae of the stored product insect Trogoderma granarium Everts. The mortality of larvae was tested at different concentrations ranging from 31.2 to 531.2 μl/l air and at different exposure times (24 and 48 h). Probit analysis showed that LC50 and LC90 following a 48 h-exposure period for essential oil were 38.4 and 84.6 μl/l, respectively. These results showed that the essential oil from F. vulgare may be applicable to the management of populations of stored-product insects.
