Dear Group Members,

Here is present status of scientific report on Type II Diabetes, I am
preparing from last 14 years. This report is near completion now. At
present the size of report is over 200 GB. In terms of pages, over 10
million pages (A4 size). The report is written in code words in order
to avoid its misuse. This report is a result of interactions with over
6000 Traditional Healers, herb collectors, farmers, herb vendors,
traders etc. of Indian state Chhattisgarh. Over 80,000 high resolution
pictures (over 210 GB; other than 200 GB text) are important part of
this report. Over 650,000 pages and 30,000 pictures are online at

Most of the traditional knowledge documented in this report is coming
for the first time among world community. This knowledge is not
present in ancient Indian literatures as well as in world literatures.
Many Healers interacted during surveys are not with us. Their
knowledge is safe in this report. Complex herbal formulations having
hundreds of herbs are mentioned in details. This report gives details
of over 2000 methods through which herbal combinations are given. Each
method is described in over 5000 pages. Traditional Allelopathic
Knowledge through which herbs are enriched with medicinal properties
before harvesting is described in much detail.

According to plan, I have written 75 percent of this report but in
fact based on knowledge present in the state, I feel that I have to
write throughout life. I am planning to write reports on heart
diseases and cancer in coming years. The reports on Medicinal Rice and
Agrohomoeopathy are also near completion.

From collection of information to typing of report, it is effort of
one person as I am working without any financial as well as technical
help from anyone. You can imagine the effort and cost involved in it
so far.

On World Diabetes Day i.e. November 14, I am planning to release

Dear Professor,
 
Thanks for your mail. I appreciate your interest in knowing more about the allelopathic effects. My team worked on parthenium during eighties and early nineties and discontinued for various reasons.  Though we realised the importance of the aspects you have touched, Unfortunately,we did not study those aspects.  All our studies were taken up with mature parthenium plants.
I feel these are very important aspects and people in the academic line may find it interesting to take up research on these lines.
With regards,
M Mahadevappa

Two more die after consuming poisonous weeds, toll mounts to seven

November 8th, 2008 - 2:39 pm ICT by IANS  -

Lucknow, Nov 8 (IANS) Two more children died after consuming poisonous
weeds in a village in Uttar Pradesh, taking the death toll to seven in
the last four days, an official said Saturday.Three days ago five
children had died in Bijnore - about 250 km from state capital Lucknow
- after eating Jatropha seeds.

“This time the children lost their lives after consuming pods of
poisonous weeds Cassia occidentalis,” Chief Medical Officer (CMO) S.P.
Singh told IANS.

A wild shrub, Cassia occidentalis grows on barren land.

“The deaths were reported in the last 24 hours in Bijnore’s Sadabad
village, where two children playing in the fields ate the pods,” Singh
said.

Following the incident, the health authorities have launched a drive
along with officials of the forest and horticulture departments to
spread awareness about the toxic effects of poisonous weeds, including
Jatropha and Cassia occidentalis, officials said.

“As a part of the drive, pamphlets about the toxic effects of weeds
would also be distributed amongst parents in different villages,”
Singh said.

Study examines human transport of plant seeds
Tina Arons

Experts say plant seeds hitch rides on our shoes like free taxis that
take them to places where they may not be welcome.

But how far can they go?

Some may find the answer surprising.

European researchers studied seeds from two wild plants found along a
national coastal trail in southern England and they found seeds can
ride on shoes for miles.

Matthias C. Wichmann, a lead researcher at the Center for Ecology and
Hydrology in Wallingford, England, said in an e-mail that few studies
relate to human population density or movement with plant species
distributions.

Long distance dispersal has potential for introducing species into new
habitats, said Mark McGinley, a professor of biological sciences at
Texas Tech.

"If you bring in a new plant, it could compete with the naturally
occurring plants," he said, "and it may not be as good of a food
source for animals."

Wichmann said studying plant movements may help researchers understand
and potentially direct the impact of humans have on seed dispersal,
including invasive-plant species and species of conservation interest.

For the study, Wichmann and his colleagues set up experiments in which
participants wearing hiking shoes or rubber boots stepped into mud and
then into a tray containing a specific number of seeds. Participants
walked from about 3 feet to a little more than 3 miles.

Although more than half of seeds fell off their shoes within 16 or 17
feet, researchers found seeds regularly remained attached to shoes
after three miles.

Wind generally disperses seeds within an 830-foot radius of their
orgin, according to the study.

Scott Holaday, a Tech biological sciences professor, said plant
species with seeds that travel away from the parent plant, often
called "pioneer" plants, utilize water, wind and animals to travel to
new places to germinate.

"They are normally strong competitors with other plants in the area,"
he said.

Several pioneer plants call West Texas home, Holaday said. Two of the
most common are sandburs and goathead, which have sharp, spiny burs.

"These seed dispersal systems have been devised to cling to animals,"
he said, "and we are just another animal."

Wichmann offered a general rule of thumb: More human movement in an
area equates to a greater potential for human-mediated dispersal and
all of its associated effects.

mealy bug infestation on parthenium

Severe infestation of mealy bug on Parthenium  observed in association
with ants. These ants serve as a carrier of the mealy bug from
congress grass to cotton plant. This emphasizes the importance in
removal Parthenium  in and around the cotton fields.

Lack of quarantine checks raises concern for import of exotic weeds &
diseases

Posted: Sep 05, 2005 at 0102 hrs IST
Updated: Sep 05, 2005 at 0102 hrs IST

Food imports so far have not been against a price. The country paid a
heavy price for imports of wheat under PL-480 from US in the pre-Green
Revolution days, when the Parthenium weed found its way into India
with the imports.

Even today, due to lack of proper quarantine and sanitary and
phytosanitary checks at the points of entry exotic weeds and plant
diseases are entering the country through imports of food and agri
products.

The exotic Parthenium weeds were first detected in 1956 in Pune in
Maharashtra. Since its first occurrence, this weed has spread to all
parts of the country, including the remote parts like northeast India,
Andaman & Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep group of islands.

Experts say the food imports was done under compulsions of scarcity.
It was then a necessity. But what we lacked was proper quarantine
checks at the points of entry. Recently the government has formulated
a Plant Quarantine Order for imports.

But proper mechanism is yet to be put in place for its effective
implementation.

The director of the Jabalpur-based National Research Centre for Weed
Science (NRCWS), Dr NT Yaduraju, says that, apart from the deadly
Parthenium, many other exotic weeds have entered the country like
Mile-a-Minute and Chormolinia.

The Parthenium weed is otherwise called Gajar Ghas, literally meaning
leaves of carrot. It is also called ‘Congress weed’, reminding of its
imports under the then Congress rule. Similarly, the Chormolina weed
first detected in Kerala is called ‘Communist weed’.

The long-drawn battle against Parthenium is still on, says Dr
Yadaraju. “We have now found an effective weapon to fight Parthenium.
We have about two lakh imported Mexican beetle in the last three
years. This insect eats up the leaves of Parthenium and does not harm
any other crop. We are ‘multiplying this insect and distributing
through our 22 centres spread across the country. We have also
distributed to about 150 out of 400 krishi vigyan kendra (KVKs).”

Apart from sucking useful nutrient from the crop fields, Parthenium is
known to cause diseases like asthma, allergy and skin disorders.
Airborne pollen may cause severe allergic rhinitis in some
individuals. While the farmer takes care in removing Parthenium from
fields through manual means and sprays, the concern remains about its
presence in non-crop lands, say Dr Yaduraju.

He says that biological control method through Mexican Beetle
(Zygogramma bicolorata) is likely to be slow. Hence this programme
needs to be integrated with plantation of suitable competitative
plants available locally like Cassia tora (Chakada), C serecia and
marigold. These plants would suppress Parthenium spread, he says. Mr
Yaduraju says that NRCWS has also found out some useful use of Parthenium.

The stems of this plant are being used to prepared wooden laminates.
Both leaves and stem are used for preparation of green manure mixing
it with cowdung. He also says that Parthenium is being used as a
medicinal plant in different parts of the globe. Every year NRCWS
launches a Parthenium Awareness week beginning August 26 to September 1.

Hypoglycemic effect of aqueous extract of  Parthenium hysterophorus L.
in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats

Vijay S Patel, V Chitra, P Lakshmi Prasanna, V Krishnaraju
  Department of Pharmacology, SRM College of Pharmacy,
Kattankulathur-603203, Kanchipuram district, TN, India

Objectives: To study the effects of Parthenium hysterophorus L. flower
on serum glucose level in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: Albino rats were divided into six groups of six
animals each, three groups of normal animals receiving different
treatments consisting of vehicle, aqueous extract of Parthenium
hysterophorus L. flower (100 mg/kg) and the standard antidiabetic
drug, glibenclamide (0.5 mg/kg). The same treatment was given to the
other three groups comprising alloxan induced diabetic animals.
Fasting blood glucose level was estimated using the glucose oxidase
method in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats, before and 2 h
after the administration of drugs.
Results: Parthenium hysterophorus L. showed significant reduction in
blood glucose level in the diabetic (P <0.01) rats. However, the
reduction in blood glucose level with aqueous extract was less than
with the standard drug glibenclamide. The extract showed less
hypoglycemic effect in fasted normal rats, (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The study reveals that the active fraction of Parthenium
hysterophorus L. flower extract is very promising for developing
standardized phytomedicine for diabetes mellitus.

Sponsor a child, or a noxious weed

Monday, 29 September 2008
Taxpayers will have the option to redirect 1% of their income tax to a
scheme to reduce child poverty and sponsor talented youngsters, the
government announced last week. Under an existing scheme, Hungarians
can opt to have one percent of their income tax donated to a charity
of their choice, and a further one percent to a church or religious
organisation. Among other possible targets of the scheme mentioned by
a government spokesman was an initiative to eradicate the allergenic
giant ragweed that is rampant in Hungary.

Transforming an obnoxious weed into gold!

GAJAR GHAS, also called parthenium hysterophorus, is one of the ten
worst weeds in the world. It is harmful to all the living beings; it
has nearly destroyed all the useful crops and plants in the world.
Research has shown that it destroys everything that grows near it,
causes various skin diseases in human beings and if consumed, causes
various diseases in cattle too. Earlier, scientists suggested burning
down this plant as soon as it is uprooted since its pollen grains,
carried by the wind, may settle on the various pores of animals and
human beings and cause skin disorders in them.

But here in Khajuria Kala, a village in Ashoknagar district (a
newly-created district of Madhya Pradesh) which houses one of the
biggest Mandis in Madhya Pradesh, this plant is used for preparing
fertilisers, for nearly three years. At Khajuria Kala, farming is
undertaken without using any chemical fertilisers; only organic
fertilisers are used which have helped in improving the quality of the
crop. Abhay Vasudeo Kher, a farmer, thought of using Gajar Ghas as a
fertiliser. The idea struck him because the plant proliferated in the
vicinity of his farm and it served no purpose anyway. He applied his
mind to the task and eventually was able to convert it into organic
manure. He was pleased to learn that none before him had attempted to
use the deadly plant as manure.

This plant contains various acids like spenolic acid, vanalic acid,
p-anisic acid, clorogenic acid, caffeic acid and para hydroxy benzoic
acid. Some of these acids are good antioxidants and yet some are used
as intermediates in the manufacture of chemical fertilisers. It also
contains a large proportion of chlorophyll which can be used in the
preparation of fertilisers by decomposing it. It has always been a
pleasure for him to revolutionise agricultural practices and devise
new ways to promote agriculture in India.

Kher says, "Today our lands are been destroyed by using these chemical
fertilisers, but our farmers do not realise that by using the said
fertilisers, we are not only harming our land, but also affecting the
quality of the produce. But our farmers seem to be unaware of this
problem and our government must stress that chemical fertilisers must
be used on a limited scale; gradually, they must persuade the farmers
to switch over to organic farming. Farmers must be enlightened about
all these things, as they are the backbone of the nation."
