Wang, Q., Y. Li, Z. Handoo, and W. Klassen. 2007. Influence of cover crops on populations of soil nematodes. Nematropica 37:79-92. A pot experiment was carried out in south Florida to elucidate suppressive or antagonistic effects of several cover crops grown in rotation on soil nematode populations. The crops were two marigolds, Tagetes patula L. ‘Dwarf Double French Mix’ (MDF), and Tagetes pat...

Microbial conversion of crude and purified glycerol obtained in the process of biorefining Crotalaria juncea is carried out to produce succinic acid using Escherichia coli. Batch tests are performed for nine different substrate concentrations of commercial, purified and crude glycerol, in order to observe cell growth and substrate utilization rate. Inhibitory (Halden-Andrew, Aiba-Edward, Tessie...

Ten germplasms of three Crotalaria species viz. C. pallida (Acc. No. 4250, 4803, 4805, 4806, and 4807), incana 4790, 4801, 4804, 4809), juncea (Local) were investigated cytogenetically through Chromomycin A3 (CMA) 4′-6 diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescent bandings. After CMA-banding, 10 showed 31 centromeric 34 terminal bands which indicated a tendency accumulating GC-rich sequences at r...

Cultivation of Crotalaria juncea L. (Sunn Hemp cv. 'Tropic Sun') is recommended as a green manure crop in a rotation cycle to improve soil condition, help control erosion, suppress weeds, and reduce soil nematodes. Because C. juncea belongs to a genus that is known for the production of toxic dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids, extracts of the roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of 'Tropic Sun' were ...

A Crotalária juncea é uma leguminosa originária da Índia e Ásia tropical, de clima tropical subtropical, sendo bastante empregada como adubo verde por fornecer ao solo ótima quantidade matéria orgânica além ser importante para a fixação nitrogênio. Uma utilidade ainda pouco conhecida espécie, principalmente agricultores, tem relação com seus efeitos alelopáticos. Desta forma, o objetivo deste t...

The objective of this study was to evaluate plant cover and dry mass produced by green manures their influence on the chemical attributes soil for ecological restoration an area around bauxite mine environment in Southeast Brazil. Soil preparation, fertilization sowing three species were carried out: Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria juncea Stylosanthes guianensis. In general, C. cajan showed best perf...
