Chemical weeding of asparagus

Physico –chemical Characteristics of Tincture from Asparagus Racemosus Willd

Various strength of alcohol were utilized for the preparation of tincture of asparagus racemosus roots by maceration for 7, 14 and 21 days. 50% (V/V) alcohol after 21 days of maceration showed maximum yield of total solid. The tinctures were evaluated by studying their different physico-chemical characteristics along with thin-Layer chromatography.

Data Weeding Techniques Applied to Roget's Thesaurus

It can be difficult to automatically generate “nice” graphical representations for concept lattices from lexical databases, such as Roget’s Thesaurus, because the data sources tend to be large and complex. This paper discusses a variety of “data weeding” techniques that can be applied in order to reduce the size of a concept lattice, first, in general and then with respect to Roget’s Thesaurus....

Micropropagation of Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari)

Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) is a plant with immense medicinal values. It is reported to be recalcitrant to tissue culture practices. Sterile cultures were obtained when the explants were treated with (0.5%) Bavestine, Indophyl and 8HQC for 7 min and HgCl2 for 5 min.The present study on micropropagation of Asparagus racemosus through nodal explants showed better result in BAP (2 mg/l) along ...

Antioxidant Potential of Asparagus adscendens

Biological activities of Asparagus racemosus.

Cytotoxic, antioxidant, tyrosinase inhibitory, antimicrobial activities of the crude ethanol extract of dry powdered roots of Asparagus racemosus (Liliaceae) were investigated. The LC(50) to brine shrimp was 2189.49 microg/ml; the EC(50) for DPPH radical scavenging was 381.91 microg/ml; the IC(50) for tyrosinase inhibition was 7.98 mg/ml. The extract was active at 5-20 mg/ml against various pat...
