“…The phytochemical analysis of P. hysterophorus showed the presence of major secondary plant metabolites such as saponins, tannins, avonoid, terpenoid and phlobatannins. Similarly, other studies revealed that P. hysterophorus is endowed with various chemical constituents such as, alkaloids, proteins, saponins, tannins, carbohydrate, glycosides, terpenoids, steroids, volatile oils, amino acids, amino sugars, lignans, phenolic compounds, avonoids, metallic elements, organic acids, terpenoids [21,[26][27][28]42].…”

Background: Malaria is a leading public health problem in Ethiopia despite the implementation of effective indoor vector control strategies over several decades. Vector control operations in the country largely depend on the application of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) of synthetic insecticides and Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) which resulted in a signi cant reduction in the malaria burden. The spread of resistance to insecticides in these indoor vector control tools in vector species is a serious challenge. Alternatively, reports indicate that botanicals which are relatively safe possess toxic compounds with high larvicidal activities. However, there are limited evidences on the larvicidal effect of botanicals against the malaria vectors, Anopheles arabiensis. This study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activities of the extracts of the roots, stems, and leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus against the 4 th instar larvae of An. arabiensis. Methods: Field collected leaves, stems and root parts of P. hysterophorus were dried and separately ground to powder and extracted in petroleum ether, hexane, acetone, and ethanol solvents. The extracts were concentrated using a Rota evaporator, and stock solutions were subject to serial dilutions for use as test concentrations. Laboratory reared 4 th instar larvae of An. arabiensis were used for the larvicidal bioassays. Mortality data were subjected probit analysis to determine LC 50 and LC 90 of the extracts. Results: The results showed that there were signi cant differences in percentage larval mortalities (P<0.05) among different concentrations of the leaf, stem, and root solvent extracts, respectively. Hexane extracts of leaves and stem of P. hysterophorus at 480ppm caused the highest mortality of 4 th larval instar of An. arabiensis (85% and 96.7%, respectively) compared to those of ethanolic, acetone, and petroleum ether extracts of these plant parts. Petroleum ether extracts of the root of P. hysterophorus were the most effective in causing very high larval mortality at 360ppm and 480ppm (98.3%). The LC 50 value of petroleum ether root extract (10.7ppm) and LC 90 value of petroleum ether root extract (105.5ppm) were signi cantly lower than those of ethanol, acetone, and hexane root extracts, respectively. Conclusion: Petroleum ether root extract of P. hysterophorus has remarkably high larvicidal potential against 4 th instar larvae of An. arabiensis which could be exploited for malaria vector control. Further studies on the larvicidal e cacy of the extracts under eld conditions and identi cation of the bioactive components in the root parts of this weed plant are recommended.

Parthenium hysterophorus is the seventh noxious alien species distributed in different part of the world. This dangerous plant is known for its negative impact on biodiversity, agriculture and human being. Parthenium plant is capable of causing allergic respiratory problems, contact dermatitis, diarrhea, skin allergy, skin rashes excessive water loss, mutagenicity, both in human and livestock. There are different attempts to control parthenium weed in which most of the methods are not successful due to rapid re-infestation of the plant. Even though parthenium plant is known for its toxicity, it is traditionally used for the treatment of fevers, headaches, wounds, diabetes, diarrhea, anemia, heart troubles and malaria to list some in different part of the world. The aim of this review article is mainly to explore the chemical components and antimicrobial property of parthenium hysterophorus. In this review the effect of parthenium on environment, human being and agriculture and major controlling practices have also been summarized.

Cardia obaliqua is used traditionally for the treatment of various ailments in Pakistan and in some other countries of the world. In the present study methanolic extract of various fractions of Cardia obaliqua are used for the screening of phytotoxic potential. Two concentrations of crude methnolic extract i.e. 1000 µg ml -1 and 100 µg ml -1 was used in the assay. The Cardia obaliqua methanolic extract (COME) showed significant inhibition both in hypocotyls/shoot and radicals/roots growth i.e. Cardia obaliqua showed maximum inhibition for the growth of Aveenasativa and Triticumaestivum. These results provide evidence that Cardia obaliqua might be used affectively as bio herbicide for weeds control.
