Floodplains were the first deforested areas for agriculture use all over world. In Brazil these can be restored by growth of guanandi Calophyllum brasiliense, a slow-growing native forest species adapted to flooding. The aims this study to: (i) evaluate taro, Colocasia esculenta, management under two agroforestry systems (AFS) (Simple and Biodiverse) in succession reforestation with guanandi, (...

Twenty-seven weighing 138±2.55 kg their were included three locations within 15 kilometers Bangladesh Agricultural University campus. Animals each ar...

Prickly sida (Sida spinosa), hemp sesbania (Sesbania herbacea), and pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunose) are becoming problematic weeds in many crops including corn soybean.

Abstract Sesbania grandiflora leaves are extensively used locally since ancient time as in traditional systems. Base on mainly folkloric use, we investigated to know the potential of Sesbania grandiflora leaves extracts through biological works in vivo and in vitro. The ethanolic extract of S. grandiflora leaves was partitioned into ethyl acetate soluble fraction (ESF), petroleum ether so...

In the present study, the fractionated extracts of Sesbania grandiflora bark were prepared and evaluated for their biological activities. The ethyl acetate fractionate (EAF) showed high antioxidant activity along with free radical scavenging and reducing mechanisms. The free radical scavenging antioxidant activity of EAF was 69.3 ± 3.6% where its Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity was 13.6 ...
