Plants of the Carex genus (Family: Cyperaceae) have attracted recent attention as potential food additives due to their high levels of potential bioactive compounds. In this study, the stilbene contents of five unexplored Carex species were investigated: Carex capillacea, Carex hirta, Carex buchananii, Carex cuprina, Carex glauca. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrome...

One of the wood industry activities in forestry sector is Eucalyptus sp at PT.Riau Mainstay Pulp and Paper Riau Province. The production process used for pulpand has many factors its productivity. them planting with weedcontrol problems, which use herbicide active ingredient glyphosate. glyphosate not effective against all types weeds. Therefore, it necessary to know right combination weed cont...

The toxic effect of binary and tertiary combinations of Euphorbia hirta Linn latex powder with other plant molluscicidal compounds, were evaluated against the freshwater snails Lymnaea (Radix) acuminata and Indoplanorbis exustus in pond. These combinations showed significant time and dose dependent effect against both the snails. These compounds at higher doses were also lethal to freshwater fi...

Six species of lichens, such as Usnea florida, Usnea barbata, Usnea longissima, Usnea rigida, Usnea hirta and Usnea subflorida, were collected from different areas of Anatolia (district of Antalya, Karabük, Qankiri, Giresun and Trabzon) in Turkey. Their usnic acid amounts in acetone extracts were determined by HPLC. In addition, antimicrobial activities of these extracts were determined against...

The research study was to understudy the qualitative and quantitative phytochemical compounds antifungal activity of methanolic extracts Jatropha multifida, Euphorbia hirta, Occimum gratissimum Mitracarpus scaber leaves against 12 species fungi. 8 tested were saponin, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoid, alkaloid glycoside. antifungi sensitivity test analysed by Kirby-bauer disc dif...

This paper records the plants used in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (L(V)b) among the rural population of a cocoa-producing coastal area of Bahia state, Brazil. An enquiry conducted among a hundred patients identified 49 plants species used to treat skin ulceration caused by this Leishmania species. The principal plants used are caju-branco (A...

Aqueous extract of shade dried leaves of Euphorbia hirta (L) was used for the synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticles. UV-visible spectroscopy studies were carried out to assess the formation Ag nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) was used to characterize the Ag nanoparticles. SEM image divulges that silver nanoparticles are quite polydispersed, the size ranging from 40 nm to 50 n...
