The study on sequential application of herbicides in soybean comprised of 15 treatments viz. Diclosulam 22 g/ha fb Imazethapyr 75 g/ha, Oxyfluorfen 0.1 kg/ha fb Imazethapyr 75 g/ha, Chlorimuron-p-ethyl 9 g/ha fb Imazethapyr 75 g/ha, Diclosulam 22 g/ha fb Quizalofop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Oxyfluorfen 0.1 kg/ha fb Quizalofop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Chlorimuron-p-ethyl 9g/ha fb Quizalofop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Diclosulam 22 g/ha fb Fenoxyprop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Oxyfluorfen 0.1 kg/ha fb Fenoxyprop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Chlorimuron-p-ethyl 9 g/ha fb Fenoxyprop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Imazethapyr 75 g/ha, Quizalofop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Fenoxyprop-p-ethyl 75 g/ha, Chlorimuron-p-ethyl 9 g/ha fb Chlorimuron-p-ethyl 9 g/ha, Standard check (Alachlor 2 kg/ha + IC + HW) and Weedy check. The study corroborates that use of sequential use of Oxyfluorfen 0.1 kg/ha fb Imazethapyr 75 g/ha due significantly higher seed yield, net returns and B: C ratio. This treatment was comparable with that of standard check.

The present study was undertaken with the objective to explore the anticataract potential of methanolic extract of Butea frondosa leaves by oxidative stress (Hydrogen peroxide) in Goat eyes (lens) and also the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous extract of Butea frondosa bark in rats. Butea frondosa is commonly known as Palash and the plant belongs to family Leguminosae. In view of the literature findings, sufficient studies were reported on flowers and seeds, and lesser attention was paid towards leaves. Therefore, the present study was planned to concentrate upon leaves and was selected for the study, which is a rich source of phytoconstituents. In Chromatographic studies the TLC plates were observed using different solvent systems, detected under short wave UV spectrophotometer, with a Rf value of 0.26, 0.30, 0.42, 0.55. After conducting phytochemical test, focus was on to isolate the desired compound using repeated column chromatography. Chloroform and Methanol (9:1) were used as eluent for separation of desired compound from the crude extract.
