Thanks. I am also trying to reach Dr. Jayanth. Possibly his tests on
wild species are still unpublished.

Thanks Dr.Gautam for the information.

Please quote the source of information about forty test species. I
feel that it is very less number as Zygogramma tested on forty
species has been released in nature having thousands of plant and
insect species of economical value. Why researchers have not tested
it on as much as possible species?

It should be but the reference literatures say that it has been
tested on few plants. How we can get the number of test species? Dr.
K.A.Kulkarni or anyone from NRC weed science may have some data? I am
also waiting for responses from Australia.

Dear Group Members,
    Yesterday I was delivering lecture on Parthenium among school boys.
During discussion on biocontrol I got question about the number of
plant species on which Zygogramma beetles were tested before release in
Australia and India. Experts like Dr. Mahadevappa, Dr.Gautam and
Dr.Throp are with us in this group.

Looking forward for replies.

Dear Shri. Pankaj Oudhia,

Re message No 3 on Parthenium, thanks your posting and the web site.

It can be treated as a weed. If we follow Masanobu Fukuoka's organic
farming concepts, weeds can be used beneficially. However we can
strike a practical via media between different advocacies.TNAU has
done some work on feeding water hyacinth to vermi compost piles to
create a rich manure. Similarly Biosanitiser developed by Dr. Uday
Bhawalkar can be used to compost such weeds. If the soil and water
are carrying more salts than healthy or if they are laden with
undesirable salts, then weeds appear. A healthy soil does not sprout
weeds a is known to most farmers/gardners. Hence instead of burning
he weeds and thereby polluting the air, we can compost it with
biosanitiser treated water. This will then become a biomass resource.



Sincerely,

R. Santhanam

Botanical Dermatology
Feverfew and carrot weed (Parthenium hysterophores)

Feverfew, or carrot weed, is an unwelcome plant, which is also known
as the scourge of India. This species has developed a wide ecologic
niche in India after it was accidentally imported with a consignment
of wheat from the United States.

The Indian plant contains large amounts of sesquiterpene lactones
(SQLs) and produces a severe widespread dermatitis, which occurs
predominantly in men. The dermatitis resembles ragweed dermatitis.

Dear Group Members,

Beware the weedy hitchhiker these holidays
Thursday, 15 December  2005
Reporter: Belinda Berry
Presenter: David Anderson

The Department of Natural Resources' Greg Jones is warning holiday
travellers to beware inadvertent souvenirs.
Would you stop at dusk on a deserted highway to offer a lift to a
mysterious
stranger in a balaclava?There's another sort of hitchhiker you should
be
equally wary of - and they don't even need to get in the car, being
quite
content to ride shotgun on the bonnet, the roof, even the tyres or
the soles
of your boots.
Weeds are notorious hitchhikers, and they're gearing up to bum a ride
off
you festive season...........................

School turns into smuggler haven
Dipanwita Hazra from Shyamnagar Balika Vidyalaya said her school

causes allergies and respiratory problems.

A new highly oxygenated pseudoguaianolide from a collection of the
flowers of Parthenium hysterophorus.

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2005 Jul;53(7):861-2.

A new highly oxygenated pseudoguaianolide, 8-beta-acetoxyhysterone C,
along with the known compounds, parthenin, coronopilin and hysterone
C, has been isolated from a collection of the flowers of Parthenium
hysterophorus. The structure of the new compound was derived from the
extensive studies of its spectral (mainly 1D and 2D NMR) data.

Comparison of patch test contact sensitivity to acetone and aqueous
extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus in patients with airborne
contact dermatitis.

Sharma VK, Sethuraman G, Tejasvi T.

Department of Dermatology & Venereology, All India Institute of
Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029, India. aiimsvks@...

Our aim was to compare the degree of patch test positivity to acetone
and aqueous extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus in patients with
airborne contact dermatitis. We performed patch testing with the
Indian standard series (which includes aqueous extracts of
parthenium, xanthium and chrysanthemum), and with 1 : 100 and 1 : 200
dilutions of an acetone extract of parthenium in 72 patients with
airborne contact dermatitis. All patients showed contact sensitivity
to the 1 : 100 dilution and 67 patients had positive allergic
reactions to the 1 : 200 dilution of the acetone extract, whereas
only 45 patients showed a positive reaction to the aqueous extract of
P. hysterophorus. Our results confirm that parthenium allergens are
more soluble in acetone than in water, and that the acetone extract
is significantly better in detecting contact sensitivity to
parthenium in patients with suspected plant dermatitis. Hence, the
acetone extract is recommended for routine patch testing.

Contact Dermatitis. 2004 Apr;50(4):230-2.

============================

Dear Dr. Oudhia
I received your email of 27th October 2005 regarding rates for
advertisement at different locations in the proceeding to be brought
out during the second international conference on parthenium
management to be held at bangalore. The rates for advertisement in
the proceedings are as follows:
half page- Rs. 500/-
full page- Rs. 1000/-
We are not putting any advertisement on the cover and inner pages.
These advertisements will be printed at the end after all the papers
have been printed.

with best regards
yours sincerely
