Various plant species have been used medically since ancient times. Most of the modern drugs are derived from plants. The demand for medical and aromatic plants in the world market is increasing. The main commercial centers of herbal drugs in the world and Spain. Turkey is also in an important position in the medicinal and aromatic plant market. Many plants collected from the nature are used to food, treatment, spices, beverage, and cosmetics etc. fields. In addition to these, researchers are conducting research showing that these crops can also be used in agricultural control. They have been supported by studies that these plants are highly effective against fungi causing harmful effects in plants. For this purpose, antifungal effects of Datura species (Datura stramonium L, D. metel L. ve D. innoxia Mill.) have been reviewed. Researches indicated that Datura sp. have antifungal activity some fungi. However, this effect varies according to concentration and types of solvents, part of plants such as root, seed, leaf, stem etc. The studies carried out show that each of the three Datura species has the potential to be a good fungicide by means of the compounds it contains

The use of unconscious drugs used for the treatment of infections causes the increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria. A major cause of mastitis is microorganisms. For this reason, this research focuses on antibacterial effects of Cardopatium corymbosum (L.) Pers. extracts against mastitis pathogens and its antioxidant capacity. In our research, two Staphylococcus aureus and five Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus were used for experiments. Plant material collected from Alaşehir, Manisa in Turkey. The plant extracts were tested by disc diffusion assay for antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity determined by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The ethanol extract of plant showed inhibition effect on S. aureus-17 pathogen while the aqueous extracts on S. aureus-17 and CNS-36 pathogens. Minimum inhibitory concentrations values of extracts are 6500 µg/mL. In the antioxidant study, it was determined that the methanol extract had a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than the ethanol and aqueous extracts and antioxidant activity of this plant was high. As a result, the our studies indicate that the extracts of Cardopatium corymbosum have significant antioxidant activities.

Bitki koruma ürünleri öneriler dışında kullanıldıklarında insan ve çevre sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda bağ üreticilerinin bitki koruma ürünleri ile ilgili davranış biçimleri, bu alanda daha önce yapılmış anket sonuçlarına göre değerlendirilmiş ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur. 2011-2015 yılları arasında Alaşehir'den Rusya Federasyonu'na yapılan üzüm dış satımında, gönderilen partilerin %11,6'sında pestisit kalıntısına rastlanmıştır. Bitki koruma ürünlerine bağlı olarak, üzümde ülkelere göre MRL değerleri 0,05 ile 50 mg/kg arasında değişmektedir. Biyolojik kökenli olan bitki koruma ürünlerinde ise MRL değeri aranmamaktadır. Hasat aralıkları da 0 ile 90 gün arasında değişebilmektedir. Kalıntı limitleri ve insan sağlığına uygunluk gibi kriterler hedeflenen ülkenin pazarına göre değiştiği için, üretimden dış satıma dek tüm aşamaların kontrol edilmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Dayanıklılık sorunu özellikle tek yer engelleyici kimyasalların ortaya çıkışından bu yana artmıştır. Bitki koruma ürünlerinin etkililiğini uzatmak ve dayanıklılık oluşması durumunda ürün kayıplarını sınırlamak için etki grubu kodları farklı olan bitki koruma ürünlerinin seçilmesi ve dönüşümlü kullanılması en önemli stratejilerden biri olacaktır. Anahtar kelimeler: Bağ, asma, Alaşehir, bitki koruma sorunları, pestisit, bağ hastalıkları ve zararlıları. ABSTRACT: The application of plant protection products, problems and recommendations for viticulture in Alaşehir are discussed according to findings of the studies that have been reported in Turkey. Plant protection products may cause advers effects on human and environmental health when used outside of the recommendations. For this reason, the behavior patterns of farmers have been evaluated regarding to plant protection products according to the results of previous surveys in this area and suggestions are made. Between the years of 2011-2015, the export of grapes made from Alaşehir to the Russian Federation was assessed in terms of pesticide residues, and it has been determined that there were pesticide residues in 11.6% of the sending parties. Depending on the crop protection products, the national MRL values in grape range from 0,05 to 50 mg / kg. MRL values are not required for plant protection products of biological origin, and harvest intervals can vary from 0 to 90 days. As the criteria such as pesticide residue limits and suitable for human health are changed according to the market, it is necessary the control of all stages from production to export. The problem of resistance to pesticides has increased since the introduction of the chemicals with one-site inhibitors. In order to prolong the effectiveness of plant protection products, one of the most important strategies will be to choose and use alternately ones with different effect code groups.

The aim of the present work was to study in vitro antioxidant activities of ethanolic extracts obtained from the flowers and stems of C. villosa. The parts of the plant were collected during flowering season at Milas, Muğla, Turkey in April 2014. Antioxidant properties of the extracts were determined by DPPH radical scavenging and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays. In addition, total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the extracts were determined. The total phenolic contents in the extracts of C. villosa were expressed as miligram of gallic acid equivalents (GAEs), were determined with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (FCR). The total flavonoids content of the extracts was expressed as mg quercetin equivalents per gram of extract. The flower extracts of C. villosa exhibited higher antioxidant activity than stem extracts. The highest free radical scavenging activity (86.32 ± 0.55%) was recorded on flower extracted with 1 mg/ml concentration. The flower extracts showed the highest phenolic (159.47 mg/g GAEs) and flavonoid contents (66.21 mg/g QEs). These findings suggest that C. villosa flowers could be an antioxidant resource in some industries, such as food, pharmacology.

Link türü bulunmaktadır. Artemia salina L. tuzlu göl sularında yaşayan, tuz karidesi olarak da bilinen bir eklembacaklı türüdür. Ayrıca, biyolojik aktivite yöntemleri arasında yaygın bir şekilde kullanılan bir organizmadır. Brine Shrimp (Artemia salina) Letalite testi, bitki ekstraktlarının biyoaktivitesinin belirlenmesinde basit, güvenilir ve uygun bir metottur. Bu çalışmada, C. villosa türünün, çiçek ve gövde olmak üzere iki kısmının, A. salina kullanılarak sitotoksik aktivitelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. A. salina yumurtaları (10 mg), 500 ml'lik silindirik cam şişede bulunan deniz suyunda, bol oksijen verilerek ve suyun sıcaklığı 28 • C, pH'ı 7-8 olacak şekilde ışık altında inkübasyona bırakılmıştır. 48 saatlik inkübasyon sonrasında yumurtadan çıkıp olgunlaşan Artemia larvaları (nauplii), pastör pipeti ile 4,5 ml deniz suyu içeren deney tüplerine, her bir tüpte 10'ar adet nauplii olacak şekilde alınıp yerleştirilmiştir. Deney, toplam hacim 5 ml olacak şekilde, beş farklı konsantrasyonda ve kontrol grubu ile birlikte (0 g/ml, 10 g/ml, 50 g/ml, 100 g/ml, 500 g/ml ve 1000 g/ml) üç tekrarlı olarak yapılmıştır. Oda sıcaklığında ki deney tüpleri 24 saat bekletildikten sonra ölen ve yaşayan nauplii'ler tepegöz altında sayılıp, ölü ve yaşayan birey sayıları, konsantrasyonlar dikkate alınarak kaydedilmiştir. Sonrasında LC50 (µg/ml) değerleri, EPA Probit Analysis Program (version 1.5) kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda C. villosa'nın gövde kısmının ekstratındaki LC50 değeri 8.447 μg/ml iken yaprak kısmının ekstrarındaki LC50 değeri 36.361 bulunmuştur. C. villosa'nın gövde ve yaprak kısımlarının ekstratlarının LC50 değerleri karşılaştırıldığında gövde kısmının, yaprak kısmından daha toksik olduğu görülmüştür.

Nowadays, there are numerous studies on the antimicrobial and insecticidal properties of essential oils and extracts from these plants. The investigations indicate that medicinal and aromatic plants can be used to increase the shelf life, especially in fruit preservation. This studies show that the essential oils extracted from medical and aromatic plants such as thyme, caraway and carnation are effective in the suppression of fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Penicillium digitatum, Phomopsis viticola and Rhizopus stolonifer which reduce the shelf life in grape preservation, but it does not negatively effect the sensory properties of the grape. This review is intended to reveal the use of certain essential oils in grape storage.

It was observed that methanol extracts showed no inhibitory effect on any mastisis pathogens ( S. aureus 17, S. aureus 18, CNS 22, CNS 32, CNS 33, CNS 36 ve CNS 37). It was determined that the ethanol extracts have an inhibitory effect on S. aureus 17 pathogen, the aqueous extracts on S. aureus 17 and CNS 36 pathogens. In the antioxidant study, it was determined that the methanol extract had a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than the ethanol and aqueous extracts and this species’s antioxidant activity was high.
