Colletotrichum truncatum, a potential mycoherbicide for control of hemp sesbania, formed spontaneous variants on agar medium. The predominant variant produced more spores than the wild type on potato dextrose agar but the wild type produced more spores on Czapek-Dox agar. Spore yield of both types was greatly reduced on Czapek-Dox. In liquid culture, the variant spontaneously arose and graduall...

A field experiment was carried out in the year 2014 and 2015 at experimental of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate effect agronomic weed management practices on crop growth rate (CGR) relative (RGR) direct seeded rice. Twenty-four treatment combinations consisting two mulching viz. no mulch live (brown manuring with Sesbania) nitrogen levels (120 kg ha-1, 150 ha-1&nbs...

We studied the effects of two xanthones compounds isolated from Swertia punicea Hemsl (from Geutianaceae), swertianolin (I) and bellidifolin (II), on Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and e antigen (HBeAg) in cultured human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). The HepG2 cells were first cultured for 24h, various concentrations of these two xanthones were then added to the culture mediu...

Sevhtrriia rliizobiuni strain ORS57 1. which grows in the free-living state at the expense of N, or ammonia. requires nicotinic acid as a growth factor and also uses this vitamin as a nitrogen source in culture medium devoid of ammonia. Consequently, under nitrogen-fixing conditions, Sesbania rhizohiw1 requires about 10-times more nicotinic acid than when grown in the presence of ammonia. The p...

In order to determine how growing the green manure crop Dhaincha (Sesbania sesban) in acidic soil conditions affected characteristics, nutrient availability, and rice productivity, among other things, a field study was conducted cafeteria at Galgotias University's School of Agriculture Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh from July 2019 2022. As per study, performed patch considerably increased change ...
