The study was undertaken to contribute the sustainable management of Spodoptera frugiperda Smith on maize. It aims evaluate insecticidal efficacy Jatropha curcas L. oil S. larvae. Two concentrations J. (10 and 20ml.l-1) were tested by ingestion six larval stages grouped into (L1-2 (3-5 days age); L3-4 (6-8 L5-6 (>10 age)). determined in laboratory phytosanitary protection tests maize carried...

Heavy metal pollution in the biosphere has become a worldwide problem. Metal industry effluents, mining sites, municipal and agricultural waste are important sources of dispersion environment. imposed phytotoxicity affects seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthesis other physiological processes. Exposure seeds to cadmium (Cd) lead (Pb) deleterious effects resulting into inhibition delaye...

Cost of biodiesel is primarily because factors such as the feedstock, production process and materials. Apparently, final product a bit expensive compared to fossil diesel fuel. While non-food feedstock high oil content Jatropha curcas has been proposed reduce cost due promising two-step approach hydro-esterification can possibly offset for resource with free fatty acids. Most importantly, opti...

This study aims to determine the formulation of jatropha curcas gel preparations as a burn healer, characteristics and physical properties preparations, theeffectiveness ofjatropha healer.
 The method in this used an experimental with five treatments. treatments are: P1 (4% sap), P2 (8% P3 (16% P4 (Negative control), P5 (Positive Control).
 results showed that positively contained sap...

The plant-mediated nanoparticles synthesis process is gaining popularity because of its effective cost, eco-friendliness, and nontoxic nature. current study presents the silver (AgNPs) which synthesized with AgNO3 as precursor salt Jatropha curcas leaf extract. J. extract has phytochemicals that could reduce metal to act a capping agent surround enhance stability. Phytochemical screening on sho...

91 10.4155/BFS.09.4 © 2010 Future Science Ltd Jatropha curcas L. (further referred to as Jatropha) is a rapidly emerging biofuel crop currently attracting a lot of interest and investments [1]. This stem-succulent [2] deciduous tree or shrub produces seeds rich in toxic oil (27–40% [3]). The oil can be extracted easily with techniques of different sophistication levels [4,5]. The crude Jatropha...

Medicinal plants are regarded as safe because of their natural origin, nevertheless, they can contain toxic substances that exert adverse effects. This study aims to evaluate acute and subacute toxicity Jatropha curcas seed oil using modified Lorke method 28 days repeated dosing grouped rats with normal saline -10, 300, 600 mg/kg body weight the oil. At end experimentation, haematological bioch...

Physic nut (Jatropha curcas) is a bio-fuel and multipurpose crop that can be used to produce biodiesel, biogas latex. The toxic substances – curcin diterpenoids in raw Jatropha leaves seeds scare grazing animals away this suggests the possibility of using plant as live fence curb cattle menace which one major constraints facing production Sub-Saharan Africa especially Nigeria. Despite its nutri...
