Toxic metal pollution of waste waters and soils is a major environmental problem, and most conventional remediation approaches do not provide acceptable solutions. The new technologies, phytoextraction, phytoaccumulation, and phytostabilization, make it possible to achieve an effective in-situ reduction of toxic load, especially by choosing suitable plants that have the desired properties. From the rhizosphere of ruderal plants growing on the decontamination area of industrial waste in Ostrava, bacteria with presu...

Fennel (Foeniculum) is a member of the Apiaceae family, the most cultivated fennel cultivars belong to subspecies vulgare. This paper aim is to obtain essential oil from Foeniculum vulgare (FEO) seeds cultivated in the western part of Romania and to characterize the FEO in terms of chemical composition, herbicidal and antibacterial properties. Fennel essential oil was obtained by water vapour entrainment and the chemical composition of the oil was determined by GS-MS.The herbicidal effect was studied against weed ...
