Much of Africa is among the world’s regions with lowest yields in staple food crops, and climate change is expected to make it more difficult to catch up in crop production in particular in the long run. Various agronomic measures have been proposed for lifting agricultural production in Africa and to adapt it to climate change. Here, we present a projection of potential climate change impacts ...

Twenty six Rhizobium strains were isolated from root nodules of Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr. collected from different regions of Andhra Pradesh. All the 26 Rhizobium strains produced indole acetic acid (IAA), but maximum amount was produced by only five strains in yeast extract mannitol  (YEM) medium supplemented with L-tryptophan. The strains were found to elaborate maximum IAA when fed with 2.5...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of some plant extracts Helianthus annuus L., Sesbania sesban Olea europea concentrations 100, 500, 1000, 5000 ppm. effect Nd: YAG laser with wavelength of( 1064nm) different energies which at (10,15 20) within (5 pulses/sec) destruction Tribolium castaneum, found results according used, time period during treatment. Tr...

The specific purpose of this study was to determine the stability S. sesban insecticide during storage before application and its in water application. dry powder leaves extracted using as single solvent. Bioassay leaf extract carried out on cabbage caterpillars (Plutella xylostella larvae) Diadegma semiclausum imago plants a variation time design. Mortality data P. larvae D. were respectively ...

In this study, biochar made from the Sesbania sesban plant, under slow pyrolysis at 300°C was used to adsorb methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The properties were clarified by diverse analytical methods such as FTIR, SEM, and BET. results indicated that surface of relatively smooth, had porous texture, stacked evenly. addition, a large specific area 561.8 m2/g pHpzc value 6.9. effect ads...

The seasonal variation of water soluble extractive alcohol soluble extractive and ether soluble extractive have been investigated in leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania grandiflora, Sesbania bispinosa and Sesbania cannabina. Comparative account of water soluble extractive of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania grandiflora was showed high level (range 4.2 to 5.8 %) than Sesbania bispinosa (range 3.3...

Cabbage harvest failure is often caused by to control cabbage pests. pest eradicating Plutella xylostella larvae considered less effective because the plant has been damaged due infection with P. eggs and larvae. Thus, target needs be shifted prevent amago from laying (ova-positioning) on plants. This study aims determine anti-ovipositor power of Sesbania sesban leaf extract against xylostella....

The release of harmful wastes via different industrial activities is the main cause heavy metal toxicity. present study was conducted to assess effects stress on plant growth traits, antioxidant enzyme activities, chlorophyll content and proline Sesbania sesban with/without inoculation heavy-metal-tolerant Bacillus gibsonii B. xiamenensis. Both PGP strains showed prominent ACC-deaminase, indole...
