“…Favored for its high yield of biomass, crude protein content, and fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, Alexandrian clover is commonly used to feed livestock or as a green manure crop. In Egypt, it is the main feed for grazing animals [ 13 ]. With respect to its yield and crude protein content, there is contemplation that Alexandrian clover might also be sown in central European conditions.…”

Simple SummaryPhytoestrogens comprise a group of substances negatively influencing the development and function of animal reproductive organs. Their appearance in forage crops can reduce feeding values, cause dietary disorders, and lead to animal health damage. This study evaluated the occurrence of individual phytoestrogens in various species of annual and perennial legumes and their levels in dry forage. It appeared that feeding large amounts of red clover presents a potential risk, but red clover can be replaced with the annual Persian clover, in which markedly lower phytoestrogen levels were detected.AbstractThe aim of the study was to determine phytoestrogen content in fresh-cut legume forage. This issue has been much discussed in recent years in connection with the health and safety of feedstuffs and thus livestock health. The experiments were carried out on two experimental plots at Troubsko and Vatín, Czech Republic during June and July in 2015. Samples were collected of the four forage legume species perennial red clover (variety “Amos”), alfalfa (variety “Holyně”), and annuals Persian clover and Alexandrian clover. Forage was sampled twice at regular three to four day intervals leading up to harvest and a third time on the day of harvest. Fresh and wilted material was analyzed using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Higher levels (p < 0.05) of isoflavones biochanin A (3.697 mg·g−1 of dry weight) and formononetin (4.315 mg·g−1 of dry weight) were found in red clover than in other species. The highest isoflavone content was detected in red clover, reaching 1.001% of dry matter (p < 0.05), representing a risk for occurrence of reproduction problems and inhibited secretion of animal estrogen. The phytoestrogen content was particularly increased in wilted forage. Significant isoflavone reduction was observed over three to four day intervals leading up to harvest.

“…Industries produce 47 million tones of nitrogen per year involving a cost of 15 billion and consuming 2 million barrels of oil every day. They are accompanied with disadvantages such as leaching, pollution of water basins, destroying microorganisms and friendly insects (El-Lithy et al, 2014).…”

In the present investigation, three strains of cyanobacteria isolated from agricultural fields near to salt mine were used as biofertilizer individually and in consortia. Farm yard manure was also used along with cyanobacterial biofertilizers to see the ameliorative effect on soil physical, chemical and biological properties. The algalization experiment was conducted in pots in the glass house of the department for 240 days. There was an improvement in carbon, nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, copper and manganese with biofertilizers treatment whereas sodium ion, EC and pH were found to be decreased. Soil microbial activities and plant growth parameters were found to be improved. Thus, the cyanobacterial species show promise in effective exploitation for phytoremediation and improved productivity of saline soils.

“…In recent time, it has been realized that the alternative to chemical fertilizers may be organic and biofertilizer which can help in enhancing the yield and concomitantly reduce the harm inflicted by the use of chemical fertilizers (1) . Biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity are also enhanced which in turn helps to achieve optimal natural systems that are socially, ecologically and economically sustainable (2) .…”

A pot experiment was carried out to assess the comparative effects of Trichoderma-enriched biofertilizer and farmyard manure on the growth and yield components of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). The treatments were T0 (control), T1 (Trichoderma-enriched biofertilizer 5 t/ha), T2 (Trichoderma-enriched biofertilizer 10 t/ha), T3 (Trichoderma- enriched biofertilizer 15 t/ha), T4 (Farmyard manure 5 t/ha), T5 (Farmyard manure 10 t/ha) and T6 (Farmyard manure 15 t/ha). The experiments were laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications of each treatment. Among the different treatments T3 showed best as much as twice more effective than farmyard manure in increasing growth and yield parameters (plant height, fruit length, fresh weight and dry weight of stem, leaf and fruit) of brinjal plants. Overall, all the treatments increased macronutrients and micronutrients content and uptake by brinjal plants over control. Analysis of post-harvest soil samples also revealed that all the parameters except pH were increased due to different treatments. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 29(1): 1-8, 2020 (January)
