Lead (Pb) is recognized as one of the most pervasive environmental health concerns in the industrialized world. While there has been a substantial reduction in the use of Pb in gasoline, water pipes, and Pb-based residential paint, residual Pb from their use is still in the environment and constitutes an important source of Pb in the atmosphere, water, and soil. Soil acts as a sink for these an...

The World Health Organization encourages the use of medicinal plants especially in countries where conventional treatment of major diseases seems to be insufficient. India has good biodiversity and Indian medicinal plants are used in successful management of various diseases. Sesbania grandiflora (SG), family – Leguminosae, is a well known Indian medicinal plant used in traditional system for v...

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, (...

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation Dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) and Ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) on milk production growth performance indigenous lactating cows calves in smallholding farming systems. 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. Two separate field experiments, under non-crop conditions, were conducted at the Mississippi State University Delta Research Extension Center, Stoneville, MS to evaluate response of these eight selective herbicides three ...

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 ...
