چکیده
The present study was carried out to evaluate phytochemicals of pods of Leucaena leucocephala. The phytochemical analysis was performed using 50% ethanolic extracts of pods powder of Leucaena leucocephala. Quantitative analysis of phytochemicals like phenols, flavonoids and tannins was done. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids. The total phenolic content of the plant extract was found to be 14.78 mg of pyrocatechol/g plant tissue. The flavonoid content of the plant extract was found to be 2.5 mg of catechol/g of plant tissue. Tannin content of plant extract was found to be 0.041 mg of tannic acid/g tissue. The results concluded that pods of Leucaena leucocephala contain potential phytochemicals. This phytochemicals provide defense mechanism for the plant against infection, wounding and UV radiation

Greenhouse experiment was conducted for four months using Leucaena leucocephala and Pleurotus tuber-regium to determine their bioremediation potentials. Leucaena leucocephala, Pleurotus tuber-regium and Leucaena leucocephala combined with Pleurotus tuber-regium were tested for their ability to improve nutrient (N, P, K, total organic carbon) and reduce heavy metals (Zn, Ni, Pb, Cu) of soil poll...
