The threats are visible, and we need to address them and their biowealth. In this context, the present study on Loktak Lake, Manipur, highlights the floral wealth having economic values and draws attention to its conservat...

This system consists of a zinc-doped cobalt tartrate complex prepared by the co-precipitation method. Synthesis requires a short time and gives a good yield. The complex was systematically prepared from cobalt sulfate pentahydrate and zinc sulfate heptahydrate. As water is a solvent, this is an environmentally friendly green synthesis. This novel c...

Qualitative phytochemical screening of Pteris vittata leaf was carried out using different extracts (aqueous, ethanol and acetone). The results revealed that tannin, saponin, phenolic compounds and reducing sugar were commonly present in all three extracts. Steroids only present in acetone extract while absent in other remaining extracts of P. vitt...

Onion peel waste generated daily as kitchen waste can be utilized as fertilizer. In present investigation effect of 1 % and their dilutions such as 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 studied on jowar seeds. Results depicts stimulatory effect of 3:1 and 1:1dilutions on jowar seed germination and seedling growth while inhibitory effect of direct i.e. 1 percent extract...

A variety of metal-ligand complexes were studied in the past for their antimicrobial, mechanical and technological activities. Metals used in these complexes were one or more transition metals and few inner transition metals. This review article focuses on complexes in which tartrate act as a ligand. Synthesis and various applications such as catal...

Cassia obtusifolia is predominant wild vegetable growing on wasteland. It is cheap vegetable abundant in minerals. Mineral contents of wild vegetables are higher than conventional vegetables. Results revealed that leaves of C. obtusifolia contain appreciable amount of Calcium, beside this it also contains significant amount of nitrogen, potassiu...

The immuno-boosting plants will play a vital role to protect from the infectious diseases like COVID-19. The phagocyte-microbe interactions in the immune system is a defense mechanism but when expressively diploid can harm host tissues and participate in the development of different chronic inflammatory diseases and also cause immune suppressions....

In the present article various consequences of acid rain had been discussed. Acid rain effects on buildings and monuments, water and aquatic animals, human health, plants and soils were reviewed. Most effects found in between pH a range 3 to 5. Step must be taken to control acid rain.

In present investigation allelopathic effect of two Cassia species namely Cassia obtusifolia and C. uniflora on jowar seeds were studied. Effect of leaf and root extract of Cassia species studied on seed germination, seedling growth and biomass of jowar seeds. Leaf and root extract showed inhibitory effect on seed germination, seedling growth and...

In the leaves of Cassia species higher level of macronutrients like nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Level of phosphorus in different parts of both the species of Cassia is relatively low. Level of magnesium found optimum in all parts of Cassia species. Micronutrients like chloride, zinc and cobalt higher in different parts of Cassia species. Level...
