The population dynamics of single species can be understood only in the context of interactions within an ecological community. In this study we used theoretical and empirical models to describe the spatial pattern of the Afrotropical leaf beetles Mesoplatys ochroptera Stål, Exosoma and Ootheca spp. defoliating the agroforestry tree (Sesbania sesban (L.) Merril). We used the Poisson, negative b...

The seasonal variation of protein and amino acid content have been investigated from leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania grandiflora, Sesbania bispinosa and Sesbania cannabina are the medicinally important plant of Marathwada region (M.S., India). Comparative account of protein contents of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania cannabina showed higher level (range 3.957 to 5.939 mg/g dry wt.) than Ses...

Microplot experiments on flooded soil infested with Hirschmanniella oryzae were conducted to investigate the influence of the legum Sesbania rostrata as a rotat ion crop with rice, Oryza sativa L. cv. Moroberekan. To avoid a green manure effect f rom S. r'ostrata, all aerial parts were removed at harvest. The dry weight of paddy, culms and leaves, and n u m b e r of culms of rice following Sesb...

Microplot experiments on flooded soil infested with Hirschmanniella oryzae were conducted to investigate the influence of the legum Sesbania rostrata as a rotation crop with rice, Oryza sativa L. cv. Moroberekan. To avoid a green manure effect from S. rostrata, all aerial parts were removed at harvest. The dry weight of paddy, culms and leaves, and number of culms of rice following Sesbania wer...

Smallholder farmers influenced from the challenges of production constraints to afford farm family with surplus food. To improve this problem present study was designed evaluate legume shrubs hedgerow intercropping maize. In study, growth performance Sesbania sesban and Cajanus cajan evaluated determine their potential in intercropping. The result revealed that performs better than terms biomas...
