A field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in 2014/15 cropping season at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center experimental site (at Wondo Genet station). Two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, WG-Hi...

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Linn grown widely in tropical countries, recently known to have anti-hypertensive effect in the albino rats. This report has shown new dimension to one clinical use & paucity of data available in this regard, the present work is undertaken to study this effect scientifically. Albino rats (100-200gms) deprived of food for 15hrs divided into seven groups of six in each and...

The biologically active title compounds have been isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa plants, hibiscus acid as a dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate [systematic name: (2S,3R)-3-hy-droxy-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-furan-2,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate], C6H6O7·C2H6OS, (I), and hibiscus acid dimethyl ester [systematic name: dimethyl (2S,3R)-3-hy-droxy-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-fur...

objective: in this study aimed at evaluating the antifertility effect of the methanolic extract of abelmoschus esculentus (okro) fruit using albino wistar rat. methods: fifty adult male rats weighing 200g to 300g were weighed and divided into five groups of five rats each. group1 served as the control and were given water and normal rat chaw while groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 served as the test groups ...
