Pesticide and antimicrobial evaluation of three labdane-type diterpenes, and one flavonoid glycoside, isolated from rhizomes of J. Koenig.

Three labdane-type diterpenes, namely coronalactoside I, hedychilactone A, and ()-labda-8(17),12-dien-15(16)-olide, along with the flavonoid glycoside Isolinariin A, were isolated from . Structural elucidation employed spectroscopic techniques (IR, MS, NMR, and DEPT) and comparison with literature data. Pesticidal and antimicrobial activities were assessed.

Exploring the influence of invasive weed biochar on the sorption and dissipation dynamics of imazethapyr in sandy loam soil.

The management of invasive weeds on both arable and non-arable land is a vast challenge. Converting these invasive weeds into biochar and using them to control the fate of herbicides in soil could be an effective strategy within the concept of turning waste into a wealth product. In this study, the fate of imazethapyr (IMZ), a commonly used herbicide in various crops, was investigated by introducing such weeds as biochar, i.

A Comprehensive Review on Phytochemistry, Ethnopharmacology, and Pharmacological Properties of (Roxb.) Roscoe.

Medicinal and aromatic plants are known to have a number of biologically active compounds. Since ancient times, such plants have been used in ethnopharmacology. A number of medicines have been developed from plant origin by researchers and researchers continue to be interested in plant-based medicines.

Phytochemical Screening and Evaluation of Pesticidal Efficacy in the Oleoresins of Sims and Study.

Sims is an aromatic rhizomatous herb of family Zingiberaceae which is endemic to Peninsular India. This study first reports the phytochemical profile and pesticidal potential of oleoresins obtained from the aerial and rhizome parts of Sims. The oleoresins were prepared by the cold percolation method and were analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method.

The comparison of Canopeo and samplepoint for measurement of green canopy cover for forage crops in India.

Canopy covers can be measured using destructive (visual) and non-destructive methods (spectral indices, photogrammetry, visual assessment, and quantum sensor). The precision of crop cover estimation, however, is dependent on the selection of appropriate methods. Studies were conducted at the Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi to compare the forage crops canopy cover estimated using photogrammetry software (Canopeo and SamplePoint) and visual assessments.

Phytochemical Profile, In Vitro Bioactivity Evaluation, In Silico Molecular Docking and ADMET Study of Essential Oils of Three Species Grown in Tarai Region of Uttarakhand.

A comparative study of volatiles, antioxidant activity, phytotoxic activity, as well as in silico molecular docking and ADMET study, was conducted for essential oils from three species, viz., , , and . Essential oils (OEs) extracted by hydrodistillation were subjected to compositional analysis using GC-MS.

Exploring invasive weed biochar as soil amendment: A study on fodder oats productivity and soil biological properties.

Biochar is known for the improvement of soil health, fertility, crop productivity, and quality in many agro-ecosystems globally, but information regarding fodder yield, quality, and soil microbial activity responses to biochar application remains very limited. The objective of this study was to prepare biochar from invasive weeds, i.e.
