main allium vegetable crops known through worldwide with
respect to its production and economic value. Garlic belongs to the
genus Allium and family Alliaceous. Garlic has high
morphological diversity and adaptable to different agro-climatic
regions and environments. Morphological and agronomic
variations in characteristics of garlic are shown such as color of
the bulb, size of the bulb, plant height, number of cloves, size of
the cloves, days to harvesting, resistance to storage capacity,
dormancy and adaptation to agro-climatic conditions. Farmers
endeavor to produce high yield and good quality garlic for
consumption and economic value. Correlation between some
quantitative traits of garlic showed the positive and significant
correlation with yield and leaf length. All yield and yield-related
traits were significantly influenced through the interaction of
cultivar and nitrogen fertilizer except leaf length, leaf number per
plant, bulb length and sizes of bulbs and cloves of different
categoriesthat were significantly influenced either by both cultivar
and nitrogen or one of these.

All accessions have exhibited absence of plant pigmentation, and the majority of them exhibited an erect plant growth type. Most accessions had an angular ram's seed shape and medium-length pods. Majority of accessions have exhibited early days of flowering and medium-sized seeds, while Plant height had the lowest coefficient of variation (0.04), and Days to 50% flowering had the highest coefficient of variation (0.57%). All accessions have been characterizing lately flowering whereas twenty-five accessions were lately matured than check varieties. Twenty accessions have produced more primary branches and twenty-four accessions produced higher pods per plant than the check varieties. Three clusters were present in the study. days to 75% maturity and plant height have very significant positive association (r=+1.00) but there w...

They have immense potential to benefit mankind and to protect the environment. In order to investigate the effects of biochar, Azolla and moss as components of growth media on root formation and shooting performance in mini cuttings of populace, an experiment was conducted using plastic bottles in a greenhouse in hydroponic and soil media. The experiment was established on three different rooting media: sand, water and soil enriched with three concentrations (0gm, 10gm and 25gm per L of the amendments; (biochar Azolla and moss), with randomized block design, each block containing three replicates. The cutting length, cutting thickness and ages of cuttings were used to see root establishments. The data revealed the significant effect of different amendments and rooting media on the populus establishment. The rooted mini-cuttings were assessed for rooting percent; number of roots, root length, number of leaves and shoots height as well. In the study finding among all the amendments and rooting media, moss (25 gm L-1) showed better results with water in terms of rooting percent (100%), number of roots (16.33), root length (19.83cm) and number of leaves (45.33) per rooted mini-cuttings. The formation of healthy plants after hardening under outdoor conditions showed that populus alba could be successfully propagated by mini-cutting techniques.

Mosquitoes are responsible for millions of deaths each year around the world. Female mosquitoes need blood to nurture their eggs, breed, and transmit diseases by bloodsucking. Dengue and hemorrhagic fever is a dreadful disease cause by a virus and transmitted by mosquitoes. To prevent the spreading of mosquito bite diseases and to improve the quality of environment and public heath, mosquito control essential. There are a variety of mosquito control strategies that may be used to minimize the quantity of mosquitos [1]. Local councils may use commercial larvicides (pesticides that can kill the larvae) which prevent mosquitoes from maturing to adults. The researchers studied the effects of Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia sepium), guava leaves extract (Psidium guajava), and natural vinegar (Dilute acetic acid) on mosquito larvae in an effort to assist the government in combating the disease and eliminating mosquito carriers. According to studies, the plant Madre de Cacao acts as an insect repellent and has the potential to eliminate a variety of insects that can carry a variety of diseases. Commercial and manmade chemicals are still widely used to eliminate pests that are potential carriers and are pricey. Because of the dangers of high-toxic chemical compounds, the researchers became interested in employing natural pesticides derived from plants as a means of pest control, which led to the creation of this study. The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia sepium), Guava leaves extract (Psidium guajava), and natural vinegar (Dilute acetic acid) in eradicating mosquito wrigglers (Culicidae diptera) [2]. The Problem Statement of the problem The study aims to determine if the solution of Madre de Cacao leaves extract, guava leaves extract, and natural vinegar is effective in eradicating mosquito larvicide. Its goal is to provide answers to the following questions:

Eighteen key informants were selected purposively and eighty one informants were selected randomly. Ethnobotanical data were gathered using semi-structured interviews, field observations and group discussions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Ethnomedicinal use of fourty plant species were recorded distributed as twenty one families. Solanaceae were the highest number of medicinal plant consisting 6(28.57%) species followed by Fabaceae (14.29) species. 18 plant species were used to treat human, 2 species used to treat livestock and 20 were used both human and livestock disease. The growth habits of medicinal plants shrubs were highly constituted (47.5%) followed by herbs (32.5%). Poundings is the highest methods of preparation constituted (29.41%) followed by crushing (16.80%). The most common used plant parts were the leaves (36.36%) followed...
