TL;DR: Effect of allelochemicals on germination of the plants was less pronounced as compared to that on seedling growth and inhibition onGermination and seedling vigour in plants was higher in case of Capsularis jute leaf extracts.
Abstract: A study was conducted during 2007 to screen leaf leachates of jute (Corchorus capsularis L and C olitorius L) and sisal (Agave sisalana Perrine) for allelochemicals effect on germination and seedling growth of some test plants A rice (Oryza sativa L), wheat (Triticum aestivum L emeond Fiori & Paol) and (greengram [Vigna radiata (L) R wilczek] allelochemicals present in the leachates inhibited differentially the germination and growth of the plants Effect of allelochemicals on germination of the plants was less pronounced as compared to that on seedling growth Highest inhibition on germination (paddy seeds by about 28% over control) and seedling vigour (about 48 - 62% vigour loss over the control) in the plants was recorded in case of Capsularis jute leaf extracts Among the test plants, seedling growth of wheat was affected most by the leachates Similar effect on germination and seedling growth of plants was also recorded when leaf samples were incorporated into soil (1: 10, w/w)

TL;DR: The study showed that C. olitorius seed at 1.5g/100g significantly improved survival rate, weight gain and feed conversion ratio as well as reduced mortalities in the treated groups.
Abstract: Incorporating feed additives in diets of cultured fish is aimed at improving growth performance, immunity and carcass quality. Growth performance and some haematological parameters of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings fed varying inclusion levels of Corchorus olitorius seeds were assessed in the study. O. niloticus fingerlings of initial mean weight 9.35±0.01g were evaluated for a period of 56 days. Five experimental diets were formulated at varying inclusion levels; 0g/100g (control), 0.5g/100g, 1.0g/100g, 1.5g/100g and 2.0g/100g of C. olitoriusseeds. All diets were isonitrogenous with each treatment having triplicates. O. niloticus fingerlings fed 1.5g/100g diet of C. olitoriusrecorded the best growth performance in terms of weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR). There was a significant increase in growth and nutritional performance of O. niloticus fingerlings with increasing inclusion of C. olitorius seeds (P<0.05). Significant increase in packed cell volume, white blood cell and haemoglobin were observed in treated O. niloticus fingerlings and there was no adverse effect of C. olitorius seeds on the haematological parameters of the fish. The study showed that C. olitorius seed at 1.5g/100g significantly improved survival rate, weight gain and feed conversion ratio as well as reduced mortalities in the treated groups.

TL;DR: The contribution of plant height, bark thickness, base diameter, green weight and stick weight in the PC leads to the conclusion that these traits contribute more to the total variation observed in the thirty accessions of C. olitorius.
Abstract: Thirty accessions of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) were evaluated on the basis of principal component analysis to assess the contribution of quantitative traits in genetic variability. The principal component analysis showed that first four principal components explained 99.19% of the total variation. The contribution of plant height, bark thickness, base diameter, green weight and stick weight in the PC leads to the conclusion that these traits contribute more to the total variation observed in the thirty accessions of C. olitorius would make good parental stock material. The genotypes OEX 29, OIN 990, OIN 791, OIN 937 and OIN 533 were the most dispersed and diverse of all the accessions considered. High level of variability existing within the accessions and the characters will make room for further improvement of the cultivars in breeding programs.

TL;DR: In this paper , the nutrient recovery potentials of the plants Ocimum basilicum and Corchorus olitorius in a polyculture aquaponic system were evaluated and the results showed that the dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and nitrates in the culture tanks of both plant treatments were significantly higher than recirculating aquaculture system treatment, especially from eight weeks and above.
