Effect of organic mulches, manure and chemical fertilizers on leaf yield and economics of Eryngo (Eryngium foetidum L.)
No full textEryngo (Eryngium foetidum L.) is an important high value indigenous spice crop. Development of package of practices for its cultivation is very much required for the welfare and livelihood security of the small land holding farmers. Thus, the experiment on Effect of organic mulches, manure and chemical fertilizers on leaf yield and economics of Eryngo (Eryngium foetidum L.) was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Utlou, Bishnupur District, Manipur during 2017-18 and 2018-19.The highest leaf yield of 10924.53kg/hain 2017-18and12069.55 kg/ha 2018-19was obtained in treatment T4 (application of vermicompost @ 2.5 tons /ha + mulching with rice straw @ 5 tons / ha) followed by the treatment T5 (application of vermicompost @ 2.5tons / ha + mulching with rice husk @ 5 tons / ha) with leaf yield of 9113.70 kg/ha and 9401.00 kg/ha in respective years. The minimum leaf yield of 3861.98 kg/ha in 2017-18 and4210.08 kg/ha in 2018-19 was obtained in T0 (Control) in which no external input was applied. There were significant variations in different treatments in leaf yield and economic return. From the pooled analysis, the highest yield of 11,497.04kg/ha and net return of Rs526420.56with C:Bratio 1:5.34 was obtained forT4treatment. Thus, the information generated through the present study will help to develop the scientific package of practices for cultivation of Eryngo which in turn will help to improve the economy of the small and marginal farmers of Manipur, Northeast India
Religiously associated Manipuri Kombirei (Iris laevigata Fisch.): A new addition to the Indian flora
No full text35-38Religiously associated Manipuri Kombirei or Manipuri Iris
which is considered endemic to Manipur as per the Flora of
Manipur (2000) has long been misidentified (misnomer) as Iris
bakeri Wall. (Iridaceae) but after thorough investigation the
botanical identity of this plant has been established as Iris
laevigata Fisch. In India, I. laevigata Fisch. is the first report from
Manipur, hence it is a new addition to the Indian Flora. During
1960’s Kombirei plant was naturally growing in two wetlands of
Manipur namely, Lamphelpat and Yaralpat but now it has
completely vanished from its natural habitat due to various factors
like habitat loss and invasion by weeds but a few hundred plants
are maintained in captive farm at the periphery of Lamphelpat by
a private cultural society viz., Ipathoukok. Currently, some plants
are also recorded in small pockets from two wetlands of Manipur
namely, Maibam Phumlou and Ikkop pat which is believed to
have been established later by being brought down by the
upstream rivers falling into the lakes. Manipuri Iris is religiously
offered during the Manipuri New Year viz., Sajibu Cheiraoba as a
symbol of eliminating caste system. Due to its habitat sensitivity,
conservation of this plant should be prioritized, otherwise loss of
this species from Manipur may lead to loss of a species from the
Indian flora
Ethno-medicinal uses of Eryngo (Eryngium foetidum L.) by Meitei community of Manipur, Northeast India
Full text link767-774The Meitei or Meetei ethnic community of Manipur (Northeast India) use the eryngo plant (Eryngium foetidum L. of
Apiaceae family), locally called Awa-phadigom to treat at least 17 diseases and ailments namely, arthritis, bodyache, bone
fracture, cough, cut and injuries, diarrhoea, dysentery, dyspepsia, epilepsy, fever, hypertension, muscular sprain, paralysis,
skin diseases, ulcer, vertigo and vomiting which is in comparison to the 34 diseases or ailments treated as reported from
different parts of the world. Out of the treatments for 17 diseases or ailments recorded in the present study, treatments for
12 diseases or ailments are already reported in the published reports but the treatments for 5 diseases or ailments like
bodyache, bone fracture, muscular sprain, ulcer and vertigo are new additions to the list. In treating the 17 diseases and
ailments, 14 other plants namely, Allium hookeri Thw., Allium odorum L., Allium sativum L., Anotis foetida (Dalz.) Benth &
Hooker f., Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, Crassocephalum crepidioides (Benth.) S. Moore, Drymaria cordata Willd., Emblica
officinalis Gaertn., Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit, Ocimum sanctum L., Piper nigrum L., Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn., Vitex
trifolia L. and Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. were also used by combining in different ratio. The fresh eryngo plant is
widely used in food and cuisines across Manipur and cultivated in kitchen gardens as a cash crop. As the eryngo plant is
widely used and has high potential for economic development, proper scientific cultivation technique (agro-technology)
should be developed for different agro-climatic conditions
Highly efficient endo’- selective synthesis of (dispiro 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl) bisoxindoles containing three contiguous chiral stereocenters with two contiguous quaternary spirostereocenters
No full textAbstract: An efficient, atom economical, one-pot synthesis of endo’- selective (dispiro 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl) bisoxindole containing three contiguous chiral stereocenters with two contiguous quaternary spirostereo centers have been achieved by three-component reaction of isatins, malononitrile (cyanoacetic ester) and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in water in the presence of L-proline. One-pot, azomethine ylide cycloaddition with a dipolarophile without using any catalyst have also been achieved in good yields. This new methodology offers many advantages of catalyst-free, mild reaction conditions, shorter reaction time, environmental friendliness, regio- and stereoselective processes in higher yields. Graphic abstract: Synopsis: One-pot, azomethine ylide cycloaddition with a dipolarophile without using any catalyst provides endo’- selective (dispiro 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl) bisoxindole containing three contiguous chiral stereocenters with two contiguous quaternary spirostereo centers have been achieved in good yield. The reactions preceded under mild reaction conditions without any catalyst yields high regio- and stereoselective products up to 55–99%.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2020, Indian Academy of Sciences
