Abstract: Medicinal plants are the sources of many scientific drugs of the modern world and thus the leaves of Jatropha tanjorensis have been found to have important application both in traditional medicine and as edible vegetable in Nigeria soups. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of dose- dependent Jatropha tanjorensis (chaya) leaf on heamatological parameters of male wistar rats. Total of forty (40) male wister rats weighing 130-150g (about 12 weeks old) were  grouped into five groups of 8 rats each, (group  A to E), Group A served as negative control (just water and feed only), while Group B (Low dose of Jatropha tanjorensis, 200mg/kg), Group C (Medium dose of Jatropha tanjorensis , 400mg/kg), Group D, (High dose of Jatropha tanjorensis, 600mg/kg), Group E (Positive control, just folic acid drugs and feed only). Haematological indices were accessed using automated system (Sysmax Xt-2000i). The results revealed that all the haematological indices, red blood cells, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, white blood cell count MCV, MCH, and MCHC all had increase in values compared with group A and were stastically significantly (P<0.05).

Abstract: Surface (0–15 cm) soil samples were taken from a few selected villages in the Junagadh district (Kanek, Gadu, Barula, Jangar, and Dhrabavad) and Gir somnath district (Dhanej, Ramrechi, Gundaran, Surva, and Bamnasa). Water-holding capacity, soil moisture, soil texture, pH, electrical conductivity, total organic matter, organic carbon, calcium, magnesium and chloride were all measured in ten representative samples. Soil pH was determined to be between 7.20 to 7.66, electrical conductivity ranged from 0.08 to 1.07 mS/m, organic carbon was between 0.31 to 3.00%, soil moisture ranged from 4.08 to 4.78 gm, water-holding capacity was between 35% to 60%, Total organic matter ranged from 0.53 to 5.17 %, calcium ranged between 0.13 to 0.26 meq.100 g^-1, magnesium ranged between 09.63 to 23.17 meq.100 g^-1, and chloride ranged between 0.04 to 0.06 meq.100 g^-1. Thus, we are unable to achieve the best possible crop growth, production and soil health. The balance of nutrients in the soil and crops is ultimately unfavorable Crop and soil health can be attained based on the results of soil tests. Thus, soil analysis will be necessary in the future to increase agricultural yield, nutrient deficiencies and soil fertility.
