Phytoremediation uses green plants for in-situ removal, degradation, and containment of contaminants in soils, surface waters groundwaters. However, little research has been conducted on the phytoremediation potential plant species removing heavy metals contaminated soils within gold mining concession areas. Therefore, this study assessed classified potentials selected around areas restoring en...

Lantana camara is primarily a bird-dispersed invasive plant species that has spread quickly across South Africa in disturbed areas. We re-examined the distribution of at Rodger and Twine’s (2002) study site (R&T) highly grazed communal area an adjacent conserved 2019. R&T found was more common than area. Glyphosate herbicide sprayed to suppress from 2016 2019 only. bird-dispersal hypothesis by ...

The neotropical plant, Lantana camara L., introduced as an ornamental plant to several countries, has become invasive weed. It was first reported from Nepal in 1848. About 50 countries have natural enemies for suppression of the India, Nepal’s neighboring country, initiated biological control this weed 1916 and occurrence Lantanophaga pusillidactylus Walker. In a recent survey, Feed future Inte...

Various concentrations of aqueous leaf extract of Lantana camara were assessed in vitro conditions against second stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne incognita. The standard concentration ‘S’ of leaf extract was found to be highly nematostatic, where nematodes were completely paralyzed after 12 h and after 48 h of exposure, 96% of juveniles were killed at same concentration. However, the mortal...

The antimicrobial potential of seventy-seven extracts from twenty-four plants was screened against eight bacteria and four pathogenic fungi, using microbroth dilution assay. Lowest concentration of the extract, which inhibits any visual microbial growth after treatment with p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet, was considered to be minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Water extracts of Acacia nilot...
