Abstract: The farmland ginseng cultivation in Yanbian Prefecture is the main direction in the future. This paper investigates and studies the two main cities and counties in Yanbian Prefecture. The results show that there is no significant difference in root weight and root diameter between the two-year-old farmland, the three-year-old rooting heavy Wang-qing experimental site is significantly higher than other experimental sites, and the three-year-rooting-rough-dunning experimental site is significantly higher than the other three experimental sites. Position. The correlation analysis of the two-year-old soil indicators with root traits and total saponin content showed that total saponin content only showed a significant positive correlation with total phosphorus content; available phosphorus showed a significant positive correlation with root weight and root diameter; root diameter had a significant positive correlation with electrical conductivity. The content of total saponins and total phosphorus showed a highly significant positive correlation, and a highly significant positive correlation with total nitrogen; root weight and pH showed a highly significant positive correlation; root diameter and available phosphorus showed a highly significant positive correlation, and nitrate nitrogen showed a significant positive correlation. The total saponins content of ginseng in two-year-old farmland showed a significant negative correlation with root weight and root diameter, while the total saponins content in three-year-old farmland showed a very significant negative correlation with root diameter, but no significant correlation with other traits.

Abstract: Two medicinal plants, Feretia apodanthera and Ozoroa insignis, used in west African folk medicine to treat infectious diseases, were investigated for their antibacterial potential and their biocidal components. Two extractions were processed in water and aqueous-acetone (70%) and further fractionated by column-chromatography. Both extracts and fractions exhibited selective activity against human pathogenic bacteria as assayed by disc diffusion and microdilution methods. The aqueous-acetone extract of F. apodanthera was active against all the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (d ≥ 8 mm; MIC ≤ 2.5 mg/ml) while the same extract from O. insignis got markedly activity on Gram-negative bacteria E. coli and K. pneumonia (d ≥ 11 mm). However, the fractions (20µg) of both two plant species were selectively more active on Gram-negative bacteria (d ≥ 11 mm). Tetramethyl silicate, trifluoroamine oxide and neophytadiene were identified by GC-MS as the main volatile compounds present that enhance the antibacterial effects in synergy with others.
