Pongamia pinnata (L.), constituents and agricultural benefits: a reviews
Keywords:
agriculture, pongamia oil, pongamia cake, biofuelAbstract
Another multipurpose leguminous tree with non-edible oil, Pongamia (Pongamia pinnata), grows all over India. Pongamia cake includes secondary metabolites in addition to a wealth of minerals and amino acids. Fatty acids are present in pongamia oil, and nutrients are present in the leaf. As a superior source of fertilizer in organic agriculture, Pongamia pinnata has a high nutritional value with macro and micronutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and iron. This plant has a long history of use in India and its nearby regions as a source of traditional medicines (for conditions including the common cold, leprosy, diarrhoea, and ulcers), fodder and feed, green leaf manure, lumber, fish poison, soil binder, and soil reclaimer, among others., both a biofuel and a source of pollen, mostly for honeybees. The soil fertility is enhanced by the good source of nutrients found in pongamia cake. Pongamia oil is derived from the seeds and utilized in biofuel, medicine, and agriculture. It works against a variety of pests and insects and has similar insecticidal characteristics to neem oil. Pongamia oil's primary active component is karanjin. While the cake, a byproduct of oil extraction, was discovered to be rich in all plant nutrients used as a source of plant nourishment, it also functions as an acaricide and pesticide.
