One of the most extreme conditions that have a detrimental impact on the climate is sandy soil. The use of different organic amendments is a tool for developing sustainable development that is both economically and environmentally viable. The aim of this study is to see how milk tea waste extract, banana peel extract and coconut peat extract affect the growth of coriander and spinach plants when applied as a foliar spray. Different pots for various organic fertilizers were used. In this study we discussed how they affected plant growth and how they improved the biochemical properties of sandy soil. The different concentration (2g, 4g, 6g) of banana peel powder, milk tea waste powder and coconut peat were used in this study. The result showed that the highest plant height, root height, numb...

Salt stress is responsible for decrease in plant growth and development and leads to decrease in yield and quality changes in different plant species. The accumulation of soluble salts into the soil layers is a limiting factor that affects the growth of crops which are important for our food. Plants give a complex response to salinity and changes are seen in morphology, physiology and metabolism of plants. The effect of salinity on different vegetable crops viz. soybean, maize, sugar beet, cabbage, capsicum, chickpea, coriander, fenugreek, lettuce, onion, tomato, potato were reviewed. As a result of salinity, plants were adversely affected. Seed germination, survival percentage, morphological characteristics, development and yield, its components, dry and fresh weight were affected. Photosynthesis and respiration rate of plants were decreased...

Most effective chemicals are Buprofin, Profenofos,Chlorpyrifos,Imidacloprid,but it causes environmental threats, so other option is botanical plants which are used as effective insecticides against mealybug.Azadirachta indica,Calotropsis gigantean, Allium sativum, Ocimum sanctum,Citrus limon,Chenopodium ambrosioides,Soyabean oil(3%), Mint oil(0.36%),Rosemary oil(0.1%),Cinnamon oil(0.1%),Thyme oil(1.05%),Cotton seed oil(1.5%),Neem oil. In this review, compilation is carried out regarding mealybug and their management.

Chocolate is a raw or processed food preparation from the seed of the Theobroma cacao (tropical plant). Cocoa seed contains more phenolic antioxidants than most foods and food preparations. It contains flavonoids, including catechin, epicatechin, and procyanidins, which are predominate in antioxidant activity. Antioxidant effects of cocoa may directly influence insulin resistance and, in turn, reduce risk for diabetes. Further, cocoa consumption may involve in gene expression and the immune response. Cocoa can protect nerves from injury and inflammation, protect the skin from oxidative damage from UV radiation in topical preparations and have benefit to satiety, cognitive function and mood. Cocoa is predominantly consumed as energy-dense chocolate and potential detrimental effects of overconsumption exist, including increased risk of weight gain. The health benefits of Dark chocolate includes ...

T., et al., 2018; Khan, M.Z., et al., 2019; Sial, T.A., et al., 2019). The sandy soil is one of the most severe conditions which negatively affect the growth of plant. The aim of the study is to report the foliar spray effect of milk tea waste extract, banana peel extract, coconut peat extract, on the growth of coriander and spinach plants. In this analysis different pots for various organic fertilizers were used to check their effect on plant growth and to investigate the improvement of biochemical properties of sandy soil (Vu, H. T., et al., 2018; Khan, M.Z., et al., 2019; Sial, T.A., et al., 2019).According to review, using various fertilizers growth parameters like plant height, numbers of leaves, shoot moisture content, NPK content present selected in plants can be compared. This review describes the best organic fertilizer a...

As we know that nature can cure everything by one or another way. According to Ayurveda, plants have been known to cure various diseases like cancer, heart diseases, asthma etc. Now-a-days researchers are focusing on estimation and characterization of various plants and their constituents which are responsible for curing so many diseases according to traditional use of plants given in the Ayurveda. As we know plants are capable to produce secondary metabolites and the most important group is phenolic group. Phenolic compounds work as defense mechanism of plants against herbivores and pathogens. The present study represents the estimation of total Phenolic content of medicinally useful plants Allium cepa L. (Onion) and Allium sativum L. (Garlic) in its different ...

Since flowers and foliage consists of more water, dehydration is necessary for getting dry flowers. There different types of method for drying like Air drying, Sun drying, Press drying, Oven drying, Microwave drying, Embedded drying, Glycerine drying, Freeze drying. Air drying is a cheapest method of drying in which flowers are hanged for the drying. The flower of rosa has 5 petals. Flowers are usually white or pink but in a few species are yellow or red. Gerbera flower possesses three different types of flowers, an outer ring of ray florets, a middle ring of trans florets, an inner ring of disk florets. The both ray and disc flowers are packed tightly into a flower head is called as capitulum From the dried flowers different products are made like floral jewellery, pot pourri, candle making, press dried flower products, petal embedded handmade ...

The phytochemicals present in the medicinal plants possess a defence mechanism against various diseases. Phytochemicals are chemical compounds that occur naturally in plant source. Spices are building blocks of flavour in foods. This studyis focused on two important spices, cumin and black cumin. Cumin and black cumin are recognized for their antioxidant properties. So, this study is designed to evaluate the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and black cumin (Nigella sativa). Cumin and black cumin seeds are extracted to examine antioxidant properties and qualitative screening. Cumin extract showspresence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids phenol, tannin and absence of protein, glycoside, cardic glycoside, fixed oil, fats and carbohydrates. It is identified by qualitative screening. Antioxidant properties are assayed using DPPH f...

Druce (Family Leguminosae, Sub-family Mimosoideae) is known as “Khejri tree”. It is a deep rooted, nitrogen fixing, multipurpose endemic tree to the hot deserts of India. It has been used since ancient times, particularly for medicinal purposes, traditionally and socially. Traditionally paste, gum, smoke from leaves and pods are applied for antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial purposes. Phytochemical component of Prosopis such as flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, quinones or phenolic compounds demonstrate various biofunctions, such as analgestic, anthelmintic, antibiotic, antimetic, microbial antioxidant, antimalarial, anti-protozoal, antipustule and antiulcer activities. Dry pods of Prosopis cineraria are also known as sangria pods and it is the main part of Rajasthani dishes and also have a broader range of pharmaceutical applications like in pain, high cholesterol level, diabetes, an anemia, kidney and liver disorders. The Prosopis c...
