the purpose of this research was to study the antimicrobial activities of the endophytic fungi from sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers. the endophytic fungi were isolated from branches and leaves of sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers., and sixty nine isolates were obtained. all isolates were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. the indicator organisms were 4 bacteria including staphylo...

Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to evaluate potential interactions between glyphosate and trifloxysulfuron on barnyardgrass, browntop millet, hemp sesbania, seedling john­ songrass, pitted morningglory, prickly sida, sicklepod, and velvetleaf control as well as cotton injury and yield. In the greenhouse, glyphosate at 840 g ae/ha controlled all weed species 62 to 99%, which was bett...

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 soluble ...

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...

Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the damaging effects of salinity on Sesbania sesban plants in the presence and absence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The selected morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters of S. sesban were measured. Salinity reduced growth and chlorophyll content drastically while as AMF inoculated plants improved growth. A decrease in the numbe...

Agrobacterium strains were isolated from five different leguminous plants viz., Pisum sativum, Sesbania rostrata, Vigna mungo, V. radita and V. ungiculata. The isolated bacteria was characterized and identified as Agrobacterium rhizogenes based on their morphological, biochemical, cultural and pathogenicity tests. Antibiogram and protein profile of isolates were also studied by disc diffusion a...

A field experiment was conducted at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (2016-17) to evaluate the effect of crop establishment and weed management practices on productivity, economics resource-use efficiency direct-seeded rice (DSR). The treatments included three methods, viz. Zero-tillage-DSR+Sesbania co-culture (ZT-DSR+SCC), ZT-DSR+residue+Sesbania (ZT-DSR+R+SCC) Conventional till-DSR+Sesbania...

Sevhtrriia rliizobiuni strain ORS57 1. which grows in the free-living state at the expense of N, or ammonia. requires nicotinic acid as a growth factor and also uses this vitamin as a nitrogen source in culture medium devoid of ammonia. Consequently, under nitrogen-fixing conditions, Sesbania rhizohiw1 requires about 10-times more nicotinic acid than when grown in the presence of ammonia. The p...
