Ocimum sanctum also known as Tulsi or Holybasil is an aromatic plant and it belongs to the family Lamiaceae. It widely used medicine cure various ailments. The objective of study was analyse different phytochemical components tulsi leaf. dried powder (50g) placed in thimble Soxhlet apparatus experiment done separately for methanol, ethanol distilled water. percentage yield 8%w/w,7%w/w, 5%w/w respectively. reveals that secondary metabolites such carbohydrate, tannin, flavonoids, saponins,...
The hexane, acetone and methanol extracts of mature fruits leaves from Toddalia asiatica was investigated to establish its bio-control potentiality under laboratory condition against fourth instars larvae Dengue vector, Aedes aegypti Filarial Culex quinquefasciatus. Hexane extract T. showed highest larvicidal activity both mosquito vector. LC50 value A. were 37.23, 50.69 125.55 ppm C. quinquefasciatus 33.23, 82.20 215.19 ppm, respectively. Hexane, also potency with values 133.80, 177.20...
The use of botanicals as an alternative to the chemical compounds is gaining tremendous momentum because its multifarious advantages. In view increasing interest, attempt was made in present study assess larvicidal potential a few plants like Pongamia pinnata, Azadirachta indica, Croton tiglium, Cascabela thevetia, Ricinus communis and Datura stramonium against two medically important mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti Culex quinquefasciatus. late third fourth instars larvae were exposed...
Ethnomedicine, or the use of plants for medical purposes, has been practiced thousands years, and indigenous peoples have instrumental in development this ancient technique. The secondary metabolites found plants, such as flavonoids polyphenols, are abundant sources antioxidants that guard against oxidative damage provide a number health benefits. Vachellia farnesiana, commonly known sweet acacia, is plant with significant pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial,...
Eri silkworms were reared on two Ailanthus species viz., borpat (Ailanthus grandis Prain) and borkesseru excelsa Roxb.) for evaluating the cocoon parameters in different seasons. Results indicated that seasons host plants had significant effect parameters. The highest yield percentage was observed autumn season (84.22%) followed by spring (79.00%), early summer (71.67%) late (64.56%). Between plants, maximum leaves (77.33%). Autumn showed better performance terms of weight (3.72 3.66 g,...
Tiger conservation in India has been driven for the most part by a philosophy that prioritizes need inviolate tiger reserves free of human beings. Such reserves, it is argued, provide much needed territory to ‘care’ tiger. In this paper, we examine biopolitics and argue current approach amplifies nature‐culture divide ignores other imaginations are more cognizant human—non‐human entanglements protected area landscapes. The paper argues mix sovereign, disciplinary neoliberal...
