The present investigation of crude extracts from leaf, seed coat and stem of cardiospermum halicacabum L. in different solvent, were subjected to phytochemical and antibacterial screening against the selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The phytochemical solvent extracts were used for screening and antibacterial activity, were analysed. The Phytochemical studies indicate that the ...

Allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of lantana (Lantana camara L.) leaf on germination and growth of three agricultural crops: Maize, Finger millet and Tef, commonly cultivated in Ethiopia were studied under laboratory condition. The aqueous extracts were assayed at 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75% and their allelopathic effects were compared with distilled water (control). All the aqueous extracts...

Background and Purpose: Despite the availability of various treatments for fungal diseases, there are some limitations in the management of these conditions due to multiple treatment-related side-effects. The present study was designed to investigate the antifungal properties of different extracts from Pistacia atlantica Desf. Materials and Methods: Different parts of P. atlantica (i.e., dried ...

Experiments were carried out to test the aqueous extracts of twenty plants for their antifungal activity against Fusarium solani the causal of dry rot disease of potato. The obtained results showed a differential activity of the plant extracts against the mycelium growth. The combined leaf extracts of Lawsonia alba and stem extracts of Acacia catechu in general showed a strong enhancement in ac...

The diagnosis and management of nut allergy can be difficult because of the possible severity of the clinical manifestations and the cross reactivity between different species. We report a case of anaphylaxis due to skin testing in a young adult with clinically ascertained walnut allergy.
