Non-agroforestry Nitrogen fixing Plant Species and Their Important Role in Soil Conservation

Non-agroforestry Nitrogen fixing Species and Their Important Role in Soil Conservation The soil, a dynamic and living resource, is critical to global biogeochemical cycling, ecosystem health, and long-term food production. However, many agriculture soils have been badly eroded in recent years. Although deforestation, urbanization, and productive annual row cropping practices damage surface and ground waters, degrade soils, increase greenhouse gas emissions, and increase biodiversity loss, Whereas the researchers are striving to save soil using their best tactics and methodologies, In this article, we look at various non-agroforestry plant species that help with nitrogen fixation and soil conservation in India.      several people in the globe rely on trees for several uses, such as food, fodder, fuelwood, and goods such as gum, honey, and pharmaceuticals. In India, several tree species are known for their nitrogen-fixing abilities, contributing to soil fertility, conser...

Some medicinal plants and their compounds have anticarcinogenic potential

Some medicinal plants and their compounds have anticarcinogenic potential Cancer is generally regarded as a neoplastic disease with specific causative and etiologic factors, as well as protective elements. Although it has remained difficult to treat, it is preventable. In recent years, medicinal plants have attracted huge attention due to their diverse range of biological and therapeutic properties. For ages, accumulating evidence has demonstrated the promising potential of medicinal plants in various traditional, complementary, and alternative systems, particularly for cancer treatment. Research has demonstrated that regular intake of phytochemicals can prevent cancer at various stages, including initiation, promotion, and progression, based on animal models. However, the second step is the primary stage for cancer chemoprevention. We can categorize the phytochemicals involved in chemoprevention into different groups, such as phenolics, carotenoids, alkaloids, organosulfur compounds...
