Effect of cover crops intercropped with pineapple (Ananas comosus) on Rotylenchulus reniformis population densities and activity of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) were evaluated in two cycles of cover crop and pineapple. Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea), rapeseed (Brassica napus), African marigold (Tagetes erecta), or weeds were intercropped with pineapples. Beds planted with sunn hemp or rapeseed ...

Crotalaria juncea (Fabaceae), also known as sunn hemp or Indian hemp, is a warm-season legume grown cover crop that provides nitrogen and organic-matter to soils, prevents weed growth suppresses nematode populations (Meagher et al., 2019). In September 2021, root rot symptoms were observed in fields distributed Cocula, Guerrero, Mexico. Diseased plants showed reduced growth, rot, chlorosis, wil...

Crotalaria juncea bast fibers a novel cellulose rich material is valorized by producing nanocrystals (CNCs) which gained much attention due to its unique properties. CNCs obtained during this study consisted of two steps: pretreatment C. obtain chemically purified followed sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Efficacy different methods chlor-alkali method (pre-treatment-I) and ultra sound assisted chlorin...

The soils of tropical tasar plantation fields in general are sloppy and are primarily deficient of nutrition due to top soil erosion and constant leaf productivity exploitation to rear tasar silk insect, Antheraea mylitta Drury. The rainfed field of Terminalia tomentosa (W&A) plantation has been evaluated for soil fortification with green mulching through legumes, Sun hemp (Crotalaria juncea), ...
