Field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to study the effect of hybrid maize (Zea mays) under different intercropping systems, mycorrhizal inoculation and fertilizer levels on the yield component and yield of maize. The experiment was laid out in split - split plot design during winter 2011-12. The results indicated that among the cropping systems, sole maize recorded significantly better yield attributes and higher yield that was comparable with maize + cowpea intercropping system. With respect to mycorrhiza, mycorrhizal inoculated treatments recorded higher grain and stover yield. Among the fertilizer levels, 125 per cent RDF recorded higher grain yield. Regarding the treatment combinations, sole maize along with mycorrhizal inoculation and 125 per cent RDF recorded significantly higher yield parameters and yield. However, the yield was comparable with maize intercropped with cowpea along with mycorrhizal inoculation and application of 100 per cent RDF.Keywords

The aqueous extract of Terminalia arjuna bark was investigated for its hepatoprotective effect against isoniazid induced acute liver damage on albino rats. Isoniazid (100mg/kg) significantly elevated the serum levels of biochemical markers like SGPT, SGOT, ALP, ACP, Bilirubin, Protein and depleted antioxidant enzymes GSH and SOD upon administration of Isoniazid (100mg/kg) to albino rats. This indicated that there the aqeous extract of bark of Terminalia arjuna at 200mg/kg dose significantly reduced the elevated levels of biochemical markers mentioned above. Test extract treatment also increased the level of SOD and GSH. These results suggest that aqueous extract of Terminalia arjuna may have the potential therapeutic value in the treatment of Isoniazid induced hepatic damage and some liver diseases. Hepatoprotective activity of the study plant may be attributed to the anti-oxidant principles in it.Keywords

The hypolipidemic activity of Mimosa pudica extract was studied on high fat diet induced models of hyperlipidemia in rats. Hyperlipidemia in experimental rats evidenced by an enhancement in the levels of Cholesterols, Triglycerides, LDL and VLDL. Ehanol extract showed significant hypolipidemic effect by lowering the serum levels of biochemical parameters such as significant reduction in the level of serum Cholesterol, TG, LDL, VLDL and increase in HDL level which was similar to the standard drug Lovastatin. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of phytoconstituents such as steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids and phenolic compounds.Keywords

Bougainvillae spectabilis is most commonly found in India as an ornamental plant. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the qualitative analysis of phyto constituents and antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Bougainvillae spectabilis flowers were tested Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria by observing the zone of inhibition. It was observed that ethanolic extract showed maximum inhibitory activity on E.coli than Staphylococcus aures. Phytochemicals present in extracts may be responsible for the antibacterial activity.Keywords

Field experiments were conducted to study the influence of organic manures, micronutrients and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) on the productivity of maize-sunflower cropping system at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2011-12 and 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design and replicated thrice for maize during winter 2011-12 and 2012-13 and the same experiment after dividing each plot into two was laid out in Split-split Plot Design with three replications for sunflower during summer 2012 and 2013 to estimate the residual effects of organic manures in maize, the results revealed that among the organic manures, poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 with RDF recorded significantly enhanced quality parameter like crude protein and starch content in maize followed by application of sericulture waste @ 5 t ha-1 with RDF. Among the micronutrients and AM, ZnSO4 @ 37.5 kg ha-1 recorded significantly crude protein and starch content followed by application of followed by TNAU MN mixture. In sunflower, better oil yield and oil quality were recorded with application poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 with RDF to preceding maize followed by sericulture waste @ 5 t ha-1 with RDF to preceding maize. The same trend was also noticed in the second year crop.Keywords
