Pines sterilize air

One hectare of pine boron per day is able to allocate about 5 kg of volatile phytocides into the atmosphere, destroying numerous microorganisms from the air. Therefore, in forests with growing young coniferous treesRegardless of the geographical latitude and proximity of settlements, in comparison with other green areas, the air is practically sterile, contains only about 200 - 300 bacteria on 1 m cubic.

In the content of vitamin C walnut, 8 times exceeds black currant and 50 times - citrus fruits.

Often this plant is called someone else's name Vellozia Viscosa, but Vellozia is a completely different look. Xerophyte is able to live without water in extreme thermal conditions a very long time. University researchers in Cape Town use xerophytic genes to coding unstable to drought Sanguinalis Digitaria and Thaliana Arbidopsis, and later, xerophyte genes will use cultural plantsTo increase their stress resistance.
