BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF DIFFERENT FRUIT-LEAVES WITH THEIR CHEMICAL INVESTIGATION.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted with naturally occurring growth substances in aqueous extracts of some common fruit leaves viz., Amm (T;), Jam (T2), Jackfruit (T3), Litchy (T3), Bel (Ts), Papaya (T7), Kala (Tg), Guava (T9) and Jalpy (Tjo) on each Pulse crops such as BARI Mash-3, BINA Mug-5, Lentil-2 and Bean with the attempt for chemical investigation of effective Fruit leaves extract. The aqueous extracts of Bel (Aegle marmelos) significantly reduced and delayed the germination of BARI. Mash-3, BINA Mug-5, Lentil-2 and Bean seeds compared with control. The highest germination percentage was 72.67%, 60%, 100% and 98.67% and maximum growth of BARI Mash-3, BINA. Mug-5, Lentil-2 and Bean in seeds treated with control. The effect of aqueous extract of wood apple (Aegle marmelos) showed the lowest germination percentage, reduced root and shoot length in BARI. Mash-3, BINA. Mug-5, Length-2 and Bean seedlings. The Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) examination with chloroform and ethyl alcohol extracts of wood apple was showed four distinct compounds at Hexane: Ethylacetate (7:1, v/v, 4:1, v/v) and chloroform crude extract of
