Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth., commonly known as Siris is a mimosoid tree legume widely distributed in Pakistani soils. The roots of A. lebbeck establish symbiosis with root nodule bacteria and form nodules which develop singly as well as in clusters on the primary and secondary roots. Mature nodules are oblate, elongate, branched and coralloid. Rhizobia in root nodules from naturally nodulated p...

Benth the intensity electric current and for a different period exposure significant superiority when an 9A in percentage germination % Recipe height seedlings, diameter stem, number leaves wet dry weight vegetative total compared comparison treatment, while duration exceeded 9 minutes characteristic as effect bilateral overlap, led...

The immunomodulatory activity of Shirishavaleha prepared from two different parts of Shirisha (Albizia lebbeck Benth), i.e., Twak (Bark) and Sara (Heartwood) as main ingredients was evaluated for humoral antibody formation and cell-mediated immunity in established experimental models. The study used Wistar rats of either sex weighing 200 ± 40 g, while the test drug was administered orally at a ...

microorganisms has positive role on seed germination and growth of plants. In the present study, its efficacy on seed germination and seedling growth of Albizia lebbeck in the nursery was studied. The seeds were sown in polybags filled with a mixture of forest soil and cow dung (3:1) and treated with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10% concentrations of MI. Most of the parameters studied (seed germi...

The feasibility of using N-depleted (NH4)2S04 for assessing biological N2 fixation of leguminous trees was investigated. A slowgrowing species, lebbeck [Albizia lcbbeck (L.) Benthl, and a fastgrowing species, leucaena [Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit] were inoculated with appropriate Rkizobium strains and grown under four different levels of N. Each week, 0, 5, 12.5, or 25 mg of Ndepleted (...

Five sheep developed severe nervous signs after being drenched with Albizia versicolor pod-material. Four of these sheep were treated with pyridoxine hydrochloride (a vitamin B6) when the symptoms of toxicity became life-threatening. All the treated sheep recovered dramatically and completely after treatment while the untreated one died 2 h after receiving pod-material. A therapeutic dose of 20...
