“…In rosette stage, the plant develops large simple leaves that create a wide cover which prevents undergrowth (Kaur et al, 2014). They later become multi-branched, forming bipinnate leaves at reproductive stage (Sahrawat et al, 2018). A single mature Parthenium plant produces a minimum of 25000 (Kaur et al, 2014) and a maximum of 100,000 seeds (Bobo and Abdeta, 2016).…”

“…Body dehydration, inflammation of soft body membranes, miscarriage and headache have also been reported (Shrestha et al, 2019). An amount of 10-50% of P. hysterophorus in the animals' fodder kills livestock and buffaloes (Sahrawat et al, 2018). P. hysterophorus' invasion reduces plant species diversity within national parks (Etana et al, 2015) which propels game animals to search for food beyond park boundaries, creating food insecurity in neighbouring communities (Abdulkerim-Ute and Legesse, 2016;Horo et al, 2020).…”

Parthenium hysterophorus is an alien annual herb that aggressively threatens biodiversity of Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) in Uganda. Occurrence, abundance and impact of P. hysterophorus on plant species diversity were examined. An observational inspection survey assessed the occurrence of P. hysterophorus while Quadrats sampled vegetation in P. hysterophorus invaded and uninvaded sites of Mweya Peninsula and along Kazinga Channel Track. Plant species richness, dominance, evenness and diversity of invaded and uninvaded sites were statistically different at P < 0.05. Species richness (R) and dominance (D) were higher in invaded sites (R = 58, D = 0.62) than uninvaded sites (P = 0.043; R = 39, P = 0.04; D = 0.46). Consequently, species diversity of other plants became less (1-D = 0.38) in invaded than uninvaded (P = 0.039;1-D = 0.55). Also, P. hysterophorus significantly starts to reduce species diversity and richness at very low levels of abundances, as low as (4.6%) and (7.7%), respectively, and dominates at a relatively higher level (40.2%). It was concluded that P. hysterophorus in QENP, negatively affects the plant species diversity at low levels of abundances through dominance.

“…In almost all habitats, Parthenium hysterophorus develops a variety of secondary metabolites, adding to its aggression. The primaries of sesquiterpene lactones along with phytotoxic compounds including hysterin and ambiroid (Sahrawat et al 2018) [22] , Antimicrobial (Valdes et al 2010) [23] , Hypoglycemic (Arya et al 2012) [24] , Antioxidant (Priya et al 2011) [25] , Antifungal (Rai 1990) [26] , Pesticidal (Arya et al 2012) [24] are parthenine, hymenine, coronopiline, dihydroisoparthenine, hysterine, hysterophorin and tetraneurin (Datta 2001) [27] . Efforts were made in the this measures to achieve AgNPs using Parthenium hysterophorus leaves extract and to estimate its potential role as larvicidal and anti bacterial agent and to further explore its mode of action.…”

Mosquito-borne diseases have affected human and animal health in all tropical nations and subtropics of the world. New eco-friendly and sustainable vector control strategies are required to manage vector population. Silver nano particles (AgNPs) are sustainable, eco friendly an economical alternative for mosquito vector control. In present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized using Parthenium hysterophorus leaves extract. The AgNPs synthesized were characterized using, techniques of UV visible, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. AgNPs synthesized were found to be spherical with size in range of 27-40 nm. Botanically synthesized AgNPs were evaluated for their larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Biosynthesized AgNPs executed higher toxicity as compared with the aqueous leaves extract with LC50 value of 1.591 μg/mL. Further AgNPs were found to be safer towards non-target organism's P. reticulata at concentrations (LC50 and LC90) that were lethal against mosquitoes. Antimicrobial activity of Parthenium hysterophorus fabricated AgNPs was significantly higher, their average diameters of inhibition zones were higher (ranging from 3.2 mm to 23.8 mm) than those of leaves extract (ranging from 0.6 mm to 8.5 mm). Parthenium hysterophorus fabricated AgNPs are promising eco-friendly tool against mosquito vectors of medical importance.

“…India has been a pioneer in carrying out the research. By using competitive plants, not many countries have been able to bring about a significant improvement to the biological method(Sahrawat et al 2018). Nevertheless, in Australia, plants such as bluegrass, Floren bluegrass, buffelgrass, and butterfly peagrass were found to control the development of Parthenium weed (Devi et al 2013).…”

AbstractGlobally, weeds have been considered as a major threat and act as a hindrance to crop production, even though the farmers put tremendous efforts to eliminate the weeds to get a better yield. Weeds stayed a steady threat to productivity and manageability of soil and environment, regardless of many years of research and advances in management practices. Parthenium hysterophorus is widely studied all around the world including India as a noxious and an unsafe weed responsible for many health risks in humans and animals. Many experts employed different biological methods using insects, beetle, microorganisms, and certain pathogens, which caused a broad dispersal damage to P. hysterophorus. Biorational weed control is also offered by allelopathy through the production of allelochemicals from the leaf, blossoms, grains, nuts, bud, berry, trunk, and organization of living or decaying plant substance. Allelopathy is the most realistic method to control the weeds as well as different plants. Lately, there has been a proliferation of curiosity to research on plant allelopathy to control weeds in agro-ecosystems. The successful management of this weed can only be achieved by an integrated approach with allelochemicals as a crucial aspect.
