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, carbo...

Several plant characters are known to affect the searching behaviour and parasitization efficiency of Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae). In this study, plant characters contributing to the low Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) egg parasitism levels on pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh) were investigated. The efficiency of T. chilonis on pigeonpea was...

The anti-infective. anti-inflammatory, stimulant and carminative actions of the decoction of bark, tender leaves and pods of Acacia farnesiana are enlisted (2,3). The essential oil obtained from the unripe pods was found to have prolonged hypotensive action in dogs (6). This report describes smooth muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory effect of glycosidal fraction obtained from unripe pods of ...

Viral diseases are the main adversaries of country bean ( Lablab purpureus Lin.) production in Bangladesh. Potyviruses and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) have been reported leaves that displayed virus-like symptoms. This study looked at growth yield plants had treated with Trichoderma asperellum to control viruses. T. -treated exhibited decreased disease incidence up 91% a drop vector population 9...

a field experiment was conducted during 2003-4, 2004-5 cropping seasons evalute the effects of plant density on growth and yield of different rapeseed cultivars. the study was carried out at ramin agriculture and natural resources university (35 km from northeast of ahwaz). the experiment was in the form of split plots' based upon a complete randomized block design of four replications. ma...

The number of pods per plant and the number of seeds per pod are the most variable yield components in winter oilseed rape (WOSR). The production of a seed is the combination of several physiological processes, namely formation of ovules and pollen grains, fertilization of the ovules and development of young embryos, any problem in these processes may result in seed abortion or pod abortion. Bo...
