Dear Group Members,
I was in Jabalpur last week for my surveys. Not only in
wasteland but also in residential colonies I found rich population
of Parthenium. The natives are aware of this allergy weed and also
about awareneess campaign by various organisations but population is
still very rich.
Near Bhedaghat I found high way workers using sword like tools to
cut the Parthenium plants. We know that it is not an effective way.
They showed me the signs of Parthenium allergy and informed that the
use of Kadu Tel (Bitter oil) gives immense relief from this allergy.
During travel by car I observed rich population inside the forest
also as mentioned by Dr.Pandey of our group sometimes back.
I feel that we are having many methods for Parthenium management and
now its time to use it for real Parthenium management. In Raipur I
tried to make the city Parthenium free but failed to make even my
colony free from obnoxious weed. I feel that the war against
Parthenium must be intensified as primary aim. This year I am
requesting people of all communities to give their time regularly
for Parthenium management up to atleast six years.
Similiar efforts are required in other areas also. Please give your
comments.

GIOS PDF SPLITTER AND MERGER - A useful free, open source
program "Gios PDF Splitter and Merger" is available at
http://www.paologios.com . It will split a large pdf file into single
pages and can be used to merge different pdf files into one pdf file.
I
find it very useful. For example, I put a number of my old
publications
dealing with the concentration of carbon dioxide near the forest floor
into one pdf file. Should you be interested in receiving that pdf
file,
let me know. Harry V. Wiant, Jr. ( hwiant@...

Dear Dr. Gautam,
Thanks for the immediate response. It will be a great pleasure to
have you here. Kindly let me know about your schedule to visit
Bareilly so that suitable arrangements can be made for your stay and
for the lectures and meetings as well. In our school we have a
multimedia room which can seat about 70 people. We have an LCD
projector in case you may need. I would highly appreciate if you
please write about how we are to go about the project in brief, so
that I will be sort of mentally prepared for the same.
Our school is located in the cantonment area therefore we have lots
of open area around with lots of wild growth and plenty of
Parthenium where actual demonstration can be given. We have Cassia
tora, Xanthium, Neem and Calotropis growing around which will help
you tell the students to identify the same.
Thanking you and with kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
( Vasundhara Wahal )

Parthenium
Parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus) is one of the worst weeds for
agriculture, the environment and human health in Queensland,
Australia. It is native to Mexico and the USA and has spread
prolifically in central Queensland.

Weeds fast making Ridge their home
Bindu Shajan Perappadan
Pose a grave danger to the already abused green lung of the Capital
http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/03/stories/2006070314030400.htm
NEW DELHI: It's a dangerous touch of exotica that is chocking the
city's green lung. A recent stock taking of the growing weed
population in the reserved green area of the Capital revealed that
American weeds are rapidly becoming naturalised in the Ridge as
undergrowth choking native vegetation and fast working their way to
becoming the dominant species in the forest.
According to this recent research paper, over 25 exotic varieties of
weeds have been identified that are known to be fast spreading and
have previously created problem even in their native and adopted
homes.
The weed species that are fast making the Ridge their home
including "parthenium", "acanthospermum hispidum", "croton
bonplandianum" and "synedrella vialis".
Speaking about the "imported" weed invasion witnessed in the Ridge
area, National Co-ordinator of the National Agricultural Innovation
Project, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, N.T. Yaduraju,
says: "The problem occurs when foreign weeds colonise and slowly
establish themselves in green space and do not allow the natural
vegetation to flourish. What has us worried is the negative impact
that this growing weed population can have on human health. A
classic example is `parthenium' that causes trouble for people with
asthma and other breathing disorders. Weeds also have a tendency to
try and acquire as much space as possible and spreads to other
areas."
Experts claim that weeds are no strangers to the city's green lung,
which is home to several indigenous species of plants. Delhi Ridge
is one of the key producers of oxygen and spreads from Delhi
University in the north, stretching southward to Dhaula Kuan from
Central Delhi and passes along the Cantonment area from South to
West Delhi. It also has presence in Mehrauli and Tughlaqabad.
"The already abused Ridge has been putting up a stiff fight to
remain green and its trouble seems to have increased manifolds now
with the native and exotic weeds invading its space. The Ridge has
also been abused in terms of space being used for building illegal
structures in the area and dumping by builders. Several private
builders too are looking at the space for commercial purpose and it
is becoming increasing difficult to allow the indigenous plant
population to stay and grow," says Vikaram Soni, an environmentalist
spearheading a movement to protect the Ridge.
Experts in the Forest and Wildlife Department, Delhi, add that there
is little that can be done to protect the Ridge from being invaded
by weeds. "The weeds that have been identified are the fast
spreading variety. When they find the conditions favourable they
flourishes and spread to other areas in the city," says an official.

on biological control of parthenium and its current status in India.
The Zygo-final isin the page-maker mode, therefore you require
suitable software to read it and print it. If any member requires

I shall be grateful if you also send your published materil on

First we have to think our conditions. Then Indianization of any technique is a must before recommonding to the people.So as the case of P.julifera
