PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND SYNERGISTIC LARVICIDAL ACTION OF ARGEMONE MEXICANA AGAINST THIRD INSTAR LARVAE OF AEDES AEGYPTI (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)
Get PDFAedes aegypti is the principal dengue vector. A threat to public health exists globally due to the dengue vector\u27s development of resistance as a result of the widespread use of chemical insecticides. Tropical and subtropical countries are especially susceptible to dengue vector infection. The focus of research has been on plant-based phytochemicals that are employed as larvicides against mosquitoes. Bioinsecticides made from plants are biodegradable, and safe for the environment. In the present investigation, Argemone mexicana leaf and seed extracts were successfully tested against the third instar of Aedes aegypti, in accordance with the guidelines of WHO. The aqueous extract of the leaf with LC50 and LC90 values of 133.25 and 311.68 ppm, ethanolic extract leaf with LC50 and LC90 values of 102.32 and 239.88 ppm, and petroleum ether extracts of the leaf with LC50 and LC90 values of 123.02 and 281 ppm. Similarly, aqueous, ethanolic, and petroleum ether seed extracts with LC50 values of 154.88, 120.22, and 104.71 ppm and LC90 values of 393.07, 281.83, and 239.88 ppm, respectively, in 24 h post-exposure. All the extracts were shown significant (P<0.05) larvicidal potential. Preliminary phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of different phytoconstituents. Our findings suggest that the leaves and seeds have larvicidal potential, this plant\u27s metabolites may be a cost-effective and eco-friendly source that keeps the mosquito population below the threshold leve
SURVEY, ISOLATION AND CULTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ALTERNARIA BRASSICAE (BERK.) SACC., FORM THE NATURALLY INFECTED FIELDS OF CAULIFLOWER IN AGRA UTTAR PRADESH INDIA
No full textOne of the most destructive fungi, Alternaria brassicae (Berk) Sacc., is responsible for the Alternaria blight, also known as the leaf blight disease of cauliflower, which causes a serious qualitative and quantitative yield loss in cabbage and cauliflower at the curd formation and seed setting stages. Thus the current study was carried out to determine the disease occurrence and to conduct in-depth studies of the morphological and cultural characteristics of the fungi. Survey was taken up in districts Agra UP India. Shamshabad recorded the highest disease incidence at 35%, while Malpura recorded the lowest at 8%. From the disease samples, 11 isolates were recovered and purified.All the cultures did well using potato dextrose agar.There were variations in the sporulation and mycelial growth. The study of cultural and morphological characteristics of various isolates of Alternaria spp. showed that the mycelia were septate and that conidia were formed in chains from the conidiophores. Both longitudinal and transverse septa make up conidia, which are beaked
MAJOR WEEDS FLORA OF THE TERRESTRIAL FORESTS ORCHARDS IN BANGLADESH
No full textWeeds are the main problems in the planted forest orchards of Bangladesh. Weeds are fast-growing and their viability and survival capacity are higher than planted trees species. Weeds uptake nutrients from the soil and cover the canopy of the planted trees. Weeds are uprooted from the forests orchards for protection of planted trees. The main aim of the study was to determine the weed flora of forests orchards in Bangladesh. The study was conducted through field data collection and laboratory investigation. Data were collected from only planted forests orchards in the pre-monsoon, monsoon and late monsoon period. The random quadrat method was followed for sampling and in this respect, 2m × 2m sized quadrats were applied. A total of 169 weed species belonging to 60 families were recorded as terrestrial flora from forests areas of Bangladesh. A total of 8 families were monocotyledons (13.33%) and 52 families were dicotyledons (86.67%). Among the plant families, Acanthaceae shared the maximum (7.69%) followed by Fabaceae (7.10%), Asteraceae (5.92%), Euphorbiaceae (5.33%), Caesalpiniaceae (4.14%), Vitaceae (3.55%) and other families contributed less than 3%. The study focused that all kinds of weeds are the major obstacle in the growth of the artificial or natural forests trees species. The findings of the present study will be contributed to the protection and sustainable management of planted forests orchards in the whole of Bangladesh
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF PROMIMATE AND MINERALCOMPOSITION OF TWO VARIETIES OF COWPEA GROWM IN KAURA NAMODA, ZAMFARA, NIGERIA
No full textTwo varieties (white and brown) of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) seeds were sourced from farmers in Kaura Namoda and analyzed for their proximate and elemental contents using standard analytical methods. The results of the proximate analysis obtained showed the percentage moisture content as (7.20, 6.80)%, ash content as (4.48, 4.20)%, lipid content as (2.60, 2.13)% and fiber content (3.93 and 3.10)% for brown and white respectively. All the values were higher in brown beans and found to be significantly different at (p<0.05) except for moisture content which show no significant different among the two varieties. The percentage crude protein content of 24.80% for brown beans was also found higher than white varieties 23.40%. Potassium value was found to be the highest of the minerals analyzed while zinc is the lowest. The analysis showed both brown and white beans as being very rich in mineral elements with potassium ranking first with 584 ±2.54 mg/kg and 516 ±2.27 mg/kg followed by calcium with 285.23±3.14 mg/kg and 394.63 ±1.08 mg/kg and magnesium 257.54 ± 1.67 mg/kg and 257.54 ± 1.67 mg/kg for brown and white beans respectively. Other values are sodium (13.05 ± 0.60; 6.30 ± 0.07 mg/kg), iron (12.88 ± 0.91; 4.20 ± 0.57 mg/kg) and zinc (6.30±0.07; 8.20±1.21 mg/kg) for brown and white beans respectively. It is therefore evident from the study that both varieties are very nutritious diet and there is no significant different in the nutritional contents of white and brown varieties of cowpeas. It is therefore recommended that consumers should endeavor to incorporate both varieties in their diet so as to benefit from the variations in nutrients content of both varieties
TOXIC EFFECT OF TRANSFLUTHRIN BASED LIQUID MOSQUITO REPELLENT ON THE LIVER ENZYMES IN Rattus norvegicus (BERKENHOUT)
Get PDFOne of the major and ongoing sources of indoor air pollution in homes is the use of liquid mosquito repellent. Major insecticides found in mosquito repellents include transfluthrin, allethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, etc., all of these falls into the pyrethroid group. A significant increment is shown in the level of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout) after 7, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days exposure to liquid mosquito repellent in comparison to control group. The current research demonstrates how liquid mosquito repellent has toxic effects on various liver enzymes. This repellent\u27s active ingredient is deadly and harmful to both humans as well as environment too

Environmental Crises and Impacts of Climate Change on Health
Get PDFAlready, the rising temperatures are indeed being seen, and the outlook for the future is gloomy as a result. Global warming is no longer a topic of debate merely a potential danger. The WHO projects that there will be additional 250000 excess deaths each year between the years 2030-2050 as a direct result of the effects that are currently understood. Regarding the changing climate. Morbidity and mortality associated with heat, as well as increases in vector-borne diseases, are some of the effects (e.g. Dengue fever, malaria) higher cases of respiratory disease as well as mortality death toll attributed to harsh weather conditions. Changes in the climate that are incremental, including rising temperatures and sea level, and sporadic drought all have the potential to alter natural environments and cause widespread disruption. including climate warming and sea level, Change land use, agricultural conditions, deteriorate infrastructure and cause financial and interpersonal strain, and increase the likelihood of a variety of adverse health effects. Hostility, violence, and the uprooting of entire villages are all examples. Bringing about a shift in climate relevant at the local level by establishing connections to prominent local concerns and benefits. Comprises a crucial move toward closing the gap between increased worldwide awareness and the increasing importance of the topic locally, and especially for populations that are vulnerable. If we are to avoid the dangers that come with climate change: We need to change, and change drastically, in the ways that we think about things, the ways that we behave, and the ways that we allocate and deploy our resources, whether they be economic, human, or institutional. The essential part civil redesign is one of the greatest issues of our day; the environmental catastrophe, as a result, has an Anthropological dimension. This indicates that we will be required to re-examine both our cultural and types of social organization that are moving away from a culture that is center on consumerism and possessions. The environmental imperative requires us to rethink what it means to be an individual and what it means to be a community. According to the Global Environmental Outlook, even though humans have always had an impact on their environment, local environment, the ever-evolving character of human society, and the magnitude of the impact that these factors have on ecological systems have created a burden that is too great for the atmosphere, land, and water of the planet to bear
