Response of bio-organic nutrition on growth, yield and quality of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal.).

Abstract: AB STRACT : In an ex per i ment con ducted on ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal), to study the re sponse of dif fer ent or ganic amend ments with or ganic ma nure (FYM) and bio-fer til iz ers in re la tion to plant growth, root yield and qual ity pa ram e ters it was found that the seed lings (5-7 leaf stage) in oc u lated with Azospirillum @ 10 or 10 CFU re sulted a sig nif i cant in crease in plant growth and bio mass yield. How ever, the root and seed yields were ob served higher in the plants planted in soil amended with vermi-com post and FYM @ 2 or 3 kg / 1.8 m /plot. The plant height var ied sig nif i cantly among all the treated plots but re main taller (24.80 cm) in plots treated @ 2kg FYM hav ing max i mum stem di am e ter (0.48 cm) at 30 DAP (days af ter plant ing) and high est num bers of leaves per plant (438) af ter reach ing 75 DAP fol lowed by seed ling treated with Azospirillum @ 10 CFU. How ever, the low est num ber of leaves per plant (97.4) was ob served in the plants grown in plots amended vermi-com post @ 2kg / plot. Num ber of branches per plant re mained high est (51.0) with plants treated with Azospirillum @ 10 CFU, soil amended with vermi-com post @ 2kg and FYM @ 3 kg/ plot fol lowed by plants grown with Azospirillum @ 10 CFU (46.0). Whereas, the plants grown in plots amended with out FYM pro duced least num ber of branches (21.2) even at 75 DAP. Fresh root weight per plant was ob served max i mum (24.0 g) in the plants amended with vermi-com post @ 2kg and FYM @ 3kg/plot and in oc u lated with Azospirillum @ 10 CFU. How ever, the dry weight of the roots re mained high est ( 7.6g /plant) in the plants treated with FYM @ 3kg , vermi-com post @ 2 kg / plot and in oc u lated with Azospirillum @ 10 CFU.

Inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of Bacillus subtillis by the antibiotic from the leaves of withania somnifera

In vitro screening of Ashwagandha root extracts for the maximum functional components

Abstract: In the present study, the most effective solvent (among ethanol, water, methanol and acetone) for extracting the major antioxidant compounds especially polyphenolics from Ashwagandha root using various in vitro tests including 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and ferric thiocyanate reducing ability were identified. Ethanolic extract of Withania somnifera had significant (p

The effect of growing factors on the yield of seeds of ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera (L.) Dun.) cultivated in Polish climatic conditions

Abstract: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dun.), a subtropical medicinal plant of great value may be cultivated as an annual in a tem perate climate zone. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of obtaini ng seeds of ashwagandha capable of germinating from field plantation in Polish clim atic conditions. The field seed yield depended to a great extent on the weather con ditions. In 2000, which was a favorable year (warm and dry turn of September and October), it was even higher than the seed yield obtained in a greenhouse. The t otal number of seeds per m 2 and the percentage of seeds capable of germinating were significantly increased by mulching with black, plastic foil. However, the ris ing of plant density from 6 to 9 per m 2 had no significant effect on their seed yield.
