Extensive field visits and botanical excursions were conducted during period of investigation i. e. from 2013-2019 in and around the forest area of Nashik district. The major areas that were explored during study are mainly forest pockets and hills regions of Trimbakeshwar, Brahmhagiri mountains, Anjaneri hills, Adwadi hills, Sinnar and environs hilly ranges, Kelzar hilly areas, Mulher, Salher, etc. During the study: more than 150 species of rare plants belonging to 46 families were recorded. The probable reasons that were observe from the decrease of rare plant species population are destruction of natural habitats due to increasing illegal acquiring of forest land, massive deforestation and rapid urbanization. Also, ex-situ conservation of some plant species within the ...

The diversity of indigenous and endemic medicinal plants has contributed a lot to the practice of herbal/traditional medicines by local tribal communities. It has been observed that valuable information about the diverse ethno medicinal plant species located at the particular area is accumulated traditionally at the local herbal healers or medicine men "Vaidu" by whom; this valuable information is hardly shared with others, due to which the vast treasure of ethnomedicinal knowledge is eroding gradually, also triggered by modernization, rapid socioeconomic changes etc. As a part of participatory efforts towards creating awareness about medicinal utilities of plants and need of conservation; a periodic survey was carried out in and around Daund tehsil to record the diversity of ethnomedical plant species along with their medicinal utilities. Total 74 plant species were identified and enlisted for their medicinal values to cure several diseases like gynaecological ailments, asthma, cold, cough, dysentery, jaundice, piles, skin diseases etc. including plant species like Aegle marmelos, Boerhavia diffusa, Caralluma adscendens var. fimbriata, Chrozophora rottlerin, Citrulus colocynthis, Glossocardia bosvallea, Macrotyloma uniflora, Sesamum laciniatum, Vernonia anthelmintica etc. The present work aimed to highlight not only the diversity of ethnomedicinally important plant species but also their potential utilization as resources in a conservation perspective.

Total 30 endangered plant species belonging to 14 families; were recorded during an extensive field surveys and botanical excursions; conducted from 2018 to 2020 at several places mainly forest pockets and hilly regions from Nasik tehsils like Sinnar, Trymbakeshwar, Igatpuri, Chandwad, Kalwan etc. The occurrence of endangered plant species focusing their floristic and taxonomical aspects were monitored continuously so as know the current status of these species in the study area. It was observed that the probable reasons for consistent decrease in number of endangered plant species in the study area; are destruction of natural habitats due to increasing illegal acquisition of forest land, massive deforestation and urbanization.

The detailed survey and frequent field visits
were conducted during the period from January 2019 to February 2020. Total 10 species have been collected and studied from various localities like swampy forest area, road side, village, water bodies, and boundaries of agricultural fields across the Nasik region. The recorded species were listed and photographically illustrated to distinguish key characters. The habit, size, shape, pattern and color of corolla well as corresponding lengths of stamens, carpels and their projection have been demonstrated so as to delimit the taxa through primary identification. The species like I.cairica, I. carnea, I. triloba and I. companulata have been found to be distributed more commonly and quite invasive having persistent growth; showed intraspecific variation, complexity in terms of floral attributes, flowering period, anthesis etc.

It has a specific nutritional value due to presence of biochemical compounds such as capsteam; a volatile fatty oil, capsaicinoids, carotenoids, potassium, folic acid, protein, fiber, mineral elements and vitamins etc. Despite serious threats have been posed by many fungal pathogens to the chili crop worldwide; maximum losses occur in capsicum are due to the Anthracnose disease caused by fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sp. The biocontrol management is playing crucial role and promoted widely in control of Anthracnose disease, mainly because of its ability to control variety of fungal diseases and also enhancing the crop production in an environment friendly manner. This review article attempts to highlight an occurrence of Anthracnose disease on an economically important Capsicum annuum L. (chilli) along with its biocontrol management strategies.
