    The seasonal variation of water soluble extractive alcohol soluble extractive and ether soluble extrac tive have been investigated in leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata , Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban . Comparative account of water soluble extractive of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata was showed high level (range from 3.53 to 6.43%) than Sesbania exaltata (range from 3.26 to 6 .02 %) and Sesbania sesban (range from 2.73 to 5.67 %) in all seasons. Alcohol soluble extractive of leaves of Sesbania rostrata showed higher (range from 6.97 to 7.78 %) and lower in bar k of Sesbania sesban (range from 3.90 to 4.34 %). Ether soluble extractive of leaves of Sesbania rostrata showed higher (range from 3.90 to 4.43 %) and lower in bark of Sesbania sesban (range from 1.85 to 2.11 %).

    The genus Sesbania belongs to the family Leguminoceae. Sesbania are known for exceptionally fast growth rates as well as a high affinity for association with several nitrogen fixing rhizobia in the soil that cause formation of numerous and large nodules in the plant roots. The member of this genus also have several potential uses including forage, poles for light construction, fuel wood, medicines, shade trees for other crops and gums. The seasonal variation of starch , total sugar and total carbohydrates content have been investigated from leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata , Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban are the medicinal plants in Maharashtra. Comparative account of starch content of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata showed higher level (range 7.49 to 8.54 mg/g dry wt.) than Sesbania exaltata (range 7.16 to 7.52 mg/g dry/wt.) and Sesbania sesban (range 6.07 to 6.72 mg/g dry wt.). Comparative account of total sugar content of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata showed higher level (range 2.62 to 3.13 mg/g dry wt.) than Sesbania exaltata (range 2.34 to 2.87 mg/g dry wt.) and Sesbania sesban (range 1.81 to 2.35 mg/g dry wt.). Comparative account of total carbohydrate content of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania rostrata showed higher level (range 10.11 to 11.67 mg/g dry wt.) than Sesbania exaltata (range 9.50 to 10.40 mg/g dry wt.) and Sesbania sesban (range 7.88 to 9.07 mg/g dry wt.).

    The genus Sesbania belongs to the family Leguminosae and its subfamily is Papilionoideae.There are four subgenera of which Sesbania and Agati are of agriculture value. The seasonal variation of proteins and amino  acids have been investigated in leaf , bark and wood of Sesbania rostrata , Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban are the medicinal plants in Maharashtra. Comparative account of protein content of leaves of three tree species revealed that Sesbania exaltata were rich in protein( range from 3.34 to 3.81 mg / g dry wt .) than Sesbania rostrata ( range from 3.60 to 3.72 mg / g dry wt .) and Sesbania sesban ( range from 2.31 to 2.55 mg / g dry wt .) . Amino acids content of leaves of three tree species revealed that Sesbania exaltata were rich in amino acid ( range from 2.47 to 2.67 mg / g dry wt .) than Sesbania rostrata ( range from 2.29 to 2.46 mg / g dry wt .) and Sesbania sesban ( range from 1.74 to 1.89 mg / g dry wt .).

    The seasonal variation of alkaloids has been invest igated in leaf, bark and wood of Sesbania rostrata , Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban, which are medicinally important. The leaves of Sesbania rostrata showed high level of lipid content (range 29.14 to 31.86 mg/g d ry wt.) than Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban (26.53 to 28.45 mg/g dry wt. and 22.78 to 24.60 mg/g dry wt.) respectively. The leaves of Sesbania rostrata showed high level of alkaloid (1.90 to 2.69 mg/g dry wt.) than Sesbania exaltata and Sesbania sesban (1.78 to 2.40 mg/g dry wt. and 1.34 to 1.92 mg/g dry wt.) respectively.

    A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2010 and 2011 at Hisar, to evaluate the intercropping of pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] in prickly sesban or dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) grown for seed. Yield of dhaincha was not affected by sowing it at 60 or 45 cm row spacing. Among intercropping systems in spite of 11.6% reduction in dhaincha seed yield compared with sole crop at 45 cm spacing, the highest Sesbania seed yield (0.92 t/ha) along with an additional pearl millet yield of 0.74 t/ha was obtained with 1:1 row ratio of Sesbania and pearlmillet at 45 cm spacing. Two rows of pearlmillet in between Sesbania sown at 120 cm spacing was found best not only for pearlmillet but also for maximum land-equivalent ratio (1.38), highest competition ratio (2.75), maximum monetary advantage index (7,048/ha), maximum system productivity index (1.49 t/ha), highest Sesbania (1.38 t/ha) equivalent yield, highest net returns of 10,768/ha and maximum benefit: cost of 1.39. Hence for seed production Sesbania be sown at 120 cm spacing intercropped with 2 rows of pearlmillet to supplement the income of farmers.
