Water and alcoholic extracts of Crotalaria juncea L. plant were tested for their antimicrobial properties in vitro against some selected human pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus by agar well diffusion method and were subjected to brine shrimp lethality assay to detect their cytotoxic ability. In addition, the anticancer properties of ...

Penetration of Crotalaria juncea (PI 207657 and cv. Tropic Sun) Dolichos lablab cv. Highworth, and Sesamum indicum by juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne javanica was assessed to investigate the mechanism by which these plants may reduce nematode numbers in the field. Growth chamber experiments were conducted at 25 C, with vials containing 90 g sand infested with 450 J2; tomato (UC 204 C) was include...
