Article Synopsis
- * This study investigated the use of AgNPs combined with the local herb Swertia chirayita to tackle poultry pathogens, determining optimal conditions for their production and confirming their properties through various scientific methods like FTIR spectroscopy and zeta potential analysis.
- * Results showed that AgNPs effectively inhibited the growth of major poultry pathogens like Salmonella spp. and E.coli, measuring significant inhibition zones; however, further research is needed to fully understand their synthesis and action mechanisms while optimizing conditions for large-scale production.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In Nepal, wild plant resources play an important role in local communities' health care. However, this role and its patterns are poorly studied in many regions of the country. This study aimed at documenting the indigenous knowledge on the use patterns of medicinal plants of three ethnic groups from Makawanpur district, Central Nepal.

Although some spp. (Gentianaceae), including , evolved a peculiar form of corolla nectaries (known as "gland patches") arranged in a conspicuous ring on the rotate corolla and that completely expose their nectar, little is known about the pollination of these plants.
