Phytochemical Screening of Medicinal Plant Lantana camera Linn. K. Subathraa*, T.V. Poonguzhali P.G and Research Department of Botany, Queen Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, Chennai, India Abstract The phytochemical studies on medicinal plants have served the dual purpose of bringing up new therapeutic agents, providing useful leads of chemotherapeutic studies directed towards the synthesis of drugs modeled on the chemical structure of natural products. Lantana camara is an important medicinal plant with ethnomedicinal properties. It is screened for the presence of major phytochemical screening which shows the presence of steroids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, sugar, phenol, and tannin. The plant showed negative results for quinine, alkaloid, coumarin, and furan. The presence of tannins, triterpenoids and flavonoids may explain its potent bioactive principle against microbes and therapeutic properties.

Yield Performance of Transplant Aman Rice Influenced by Organic and Inorganic Sources of Fertilizers Ripon Prosad Saha, Shihab Uddin*, Shahnaj Parvin, Emtiaz Mashrur Jahan, Muhammad Salim Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh

Abstract Poultry manure contains significant amount of essential plant nutrients. An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 2011 to observe the effect of poultry manure and inorganic fertilizer on two varieties viz. (i) BR11 and, (ii) BRRI dhan52 of transplant aman rice. The fertilizer treatments were (i) control (no poultry manure and inorganic fertilizers) (MO), (ii) poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1(M1), (iii) recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers (i.e., 80, 60, 40, 60,10 kg N, P205, K20, gypsum and ZnSO4 ha-1, respectively) (M2), (iv) 50% NPKSZn + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 (M3), (v) 50% NPKSZn + poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 (M4), (vi) 75% NPKSZn + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 (M5), (vii) 75% NPKSZn + poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 (M6). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Varieties had significant influence on almost all the parameters. Poultry manure and inorganic fertilizer (NPKSZn) combinations showed significant effect on all plant characters and yield components except plant height and 1000-grain weight. Effect of interaction between variety and poultry manure and inorganic fertilizer (NPKSZn) combinations was significant on all plant characters and yield components except 1000-grain weight and straw yield. The performance of BRRI dhan52 was better regarding grains panicle-1 (137.65), grain yield (4.62 t ha-1), 1000-grain weight (25.99 g) and harvest index (46.03%) than that of BR11. 50% NPKSZn manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 + poultry performed the best in respect of yield and yield components.

Algal Resources in the Indian Coastal and Marine Systems with Special Reference to Sundarbans Neera Sen Sarkar*, Sanoyaz Sekh Phycology Section, Department of Botany, University of Kalyani, India Abstract Naturally endowed with a coastline of about 8,000 Km represented in a wide range of ecosystems like estuaries, mangroves, backwaters, salt marshes, sandy beaches, rocky coasts, coral reefs, and many such variations in ecosystem diversity, India is also predictably blessed with a treasure of marine biotic resources. A conservative estimate of about 80% of all such resources is found in the coastal zones. Such diversity is attributed to the complex habitats created by the dominant benthic primary producers along with the phytoplankton of the productive shallow waters, further stimulated by terrestrial inputs and upwelling incidents. The primary producers that belong to the heterogeneous assemblage of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;algaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are the most important contributors to ecosystem functions in such regions. Distribution patterns and regional assemblage composition of algal species worldwide have been important fields of study. Recent studies suggest that energy and habitat area play an important role in determining the present-day distributional patterns observed for marine algae along with the role of historical processes. A discussion on the utilization status of such resources in India starts on the note that India has quite a phenomenal resource base. The three most important contributors to such resources include the red algae, brown algae and green algae. The current paper deals with a review and discussion of the extent of marine resources in India, their use and sustainability issues and a special note on the algal resources of Sundarbans and the potential use patterns of the same.

Keywords: Algal resources, Resource utilization, Sustainability, Indian Sundarbans

Soil Reinforcement and Plants: A Case Study of Utilizing Natural Vegetation for Soil Strength Improvement Gobinath R*, Ganapathy GP CDMM, VIT University, Jay Shriram Group of Institutions, Tirupur, India Abstract Landslide is the most hazardous disaster which highly affects our nation; in the recent decades, the situation is aggravated due to the uncontrolled growth and urbanization which leads to severe degradation of natural environment. Landslides are not easy to monitor or control, the only way to avoid them is proactive prevention by adopting standard practices. Reinforcing soil using various techniques is in practice to increase the slope stability of the natural slopes but most of the techniques prove to be a costly affair. Bountiful research work is already done to optimize the cost of soil reinforcement and strength improvement and many alternative methods have been found. One such promising technique is soil bioengineering which not only optimizes the cost of reinforcing soil but also provides more ecological functions and use locally available facilities and plants for construction. In this work, authors have made at attempt to elucidate the potential use of plants that prevail in the Nilgris district that can be used effectively for soil bioengineering.
