Nano-structured 2-line ferrihydrite was synthesized by a pH-controlled precipitation technique at 90 °C. Chemical, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman analyses confirmed the sample to be ferrihydrite. The nano nature of prepared studied transmission electron microscopy (TEM). surface area obtained Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method 175.8 m2 g−1. nanopowder so used study its behaviour for removal Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. relative...

The requirement of rice (Oryza sativa L.) for fertilizer can depend on crop and soil management practices, which vary among fields within a rice-growing area. A web-based decision support tool named Rice Crop Manager (RCM) was developed previously to calculate field-specific rates N, P, K in Odisha State eastern India. We compared nutrient calculated by RCM with farmers' practice (FFP) blanket recommendation (BFR), used uniform 80 kg N ha-1, 17 P 33 ha-1. total 209 field trials were...
Long-term application of fertilizer and manure can affect soil properties with implications on the productivity sustainability crops. Data from a long-term experiment at Bhubaneswar, India was used to study impact seven treatments viz. control, recommended dose NPK (NPK), 150% (1.5 NPK), + Zn (NPKZn), FYM (NPKFM), B (NPKZnB) S (NPKZnS) productivity, (in terms sustainable yield index (SYI)), (physical, chemical biological) organic carbon (SOC) sequestration rice-rice cropping system. Results...
Context: In the Indian traditional system of medicine, Streblus asper Lour (Moraceae) is prescribed for treatment diabetes mellitus.Objective: present study, α-amyrin acetate isolated from S. asper, and petroleum ether extract stem bark (PESA) was screened their antidiabetic properties in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Materials methods: Successive Soxhlet extraction dried with then ethanol (95%) yielded extracts, respectively, which were concentrated under reduced pressure....
Abstract A sensitive, simple, rapid, and efficient high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method has been developed validated for the analysis of berberine in marketed Ayurvedic formulations containing Berberis aristata DC regulatory purposes. Chromatography methanolic extracts these was performed on silica gel 60 F254 aluminum-backed TLC plates 0.2 mm layer thickness. The plate up to 66 with ternary-mobile phase butanolacetic acidwater (8 + 1 1, v/v/v) at 33 5C 5 min tank...
Productivity and sustainability of rice-rice cropping system depend upon the soil quality which is primarily governed by application fertilizers manures. However, such information limited hence, present investigation was carried out in a 9-year-old long-term fertilizer experiment at Bhubaneswar, India. There were seven treatments (control, 100% NPK, 150% NPK + Zn, FYM, Zn B, S) laid randomized block design with four replications. Indicators (physical, chemical, biological) diagnosed from 30...
An improved and sensitive High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) method has been developed for determination of anticancer compound, nimbolide in different parts Azadirachta indica its dosage form. A quick simple ultrasonication technique was used the preparation sample solutions. Separation components achieved on precoated TLC plates by using optimized tertiary mobile phase consisting n-hexane:ethyl acetate:acetic acid (6:4:0.2, v/v/v) with a solvent migration distance 68 mm....
<p>ABSTRACT<br />Objective: To evaluate the nootropic activity of methanolic extract pre-shodhit and shodhit Semecarpus anacardium (SA) nuts to observe the<br />effect shodhana on SA.<br />Methods: Spatial learning working memory was considered for evaluation. The parameters used were spontaneous alternation behavior<br />(Y-maze), number correct responses (radial maze), transfer latency in day 1 (elevated plus maze). Scopolamine, an anticholinergic drug,...
The present study aimed to standardize the Ayurvedic preparation Haridra Khanda containing Curcuma longa as a major ingredient. Various physicochemical parameters such alcohol-soluble extractive, water-soluble total ash, and acid-insoluble ash were determined according Pharmacopoeia of India. Microscopic evaluation formulation revealed presence various diagnostic cell structures C. longa. Trace metal analysis indicated absence toxic metals As, Cd, Hg, Pb. High-performance thin-layer...
Summary A simple, accurate, and rapid high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for quantification of the anticancer marker zerumbone in different parts Zingiber zerumbet Smith has been established validated. Chromatography was performed on aluminium foil-backed silica gel 60 F254 HPTLC plates with binary mobile phase ethyl acetate-hexane 1.5:8.5. Ultraviolet detection densitometrically at maximum absorbance wavelength, 250 nm. Regression analysis data calibration plot...
