“…The increase in yield under closer spacing may be ascribed due to the higher plant density per unit area. Similar findings were reported by Singh and Nongmaithem (2013) and Tiwari et al, (2012) on Acoruscalmus and Bisen et al, (2007) in ginger. Present study also showed that rhizome yield increased significantly with application oforganic and inorganic fertilizer i.e., 20-10-15kg/ha N-P 2 O 5 -K 2 O + Vermicompost (1t/ha) and was followed by application of 60-30-45 kg/ha N-P 2 O 5 -K 2 O.…”

“…Wider spacing led to less intra plant competition and because of it higher yield attributing characters were experienced in the present study. Similar results were experienced by Tiwari et al, (2012). application of 20-10-15kg/ha N-P 2 O 5 -K 2 O + Vermicompost (1t/ha).…”

Malaria stands as a highly transmissible and potentially life-threatening illness caused by the Plasmodium parasite group. These parasites infiltrate red blood cells, instigating symptoms like fever, chills, sweating and severe discomfort. Transmission occurs through the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes carrying the Plasmodium parasite. Despite notable medical advancements, malaria persists as a leading global cause of mortality, particularly in Asia. Timely diagnosis and immediate treatment are pivotal in averting severe complications and preserving lives. Within the realm of Ayurveda, an ancient medicinal system, numerous medications, hold efficacy in treating malaria fever. These medications assist in mitigating malarial symptoms and halting the progression of the disease to critical stages. The World Health Organization (WHO) has initiated various malaria control initiatives centered on reinforcing primary healthcare facilities, ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment and local disease prevention. These initiatives have significantly decreased malaria prevalence in numerous regions globally. This research aims to furnish an extensive overview of Ayurvedic drugs employed in managing malaria and its associated complexities. Through an assessment of these drugs effectiveness, the study endeavours to contribute to the advancement of novel and enhanced malaria treatments.

“…The pharmacological effect of Acorus is mainly related to its ethereal oil, which also has some non‐trivial uses, for example as fish anesthetic to minimize handling stress and mortality in fish culture (Bhuvaneswari & al., 2015). Acorus calamus (sweet flag) is widely cultivated for medicinal, ornamental and other purposes (Lokesh, 2004; Tiwari & al., 2012; Imam & al., 2013; Chandra & Prasad, 2017; Shu & al., 2018) and belongs to the group of successful alien plants in Europe and North America (Wein, 1939; Thompson, 1995; Chytrý & al., 2008; Vinogradova & al., 2009; Lansdown & al., 2016). As indexed in Scopus, more than 1000 papers on Acorus have been published over the past 10 years, especially on chemical compounds extracted from plants of the genus (e.g., Jaiswal & al., 2015; Bai & al., 2022; Wang & al., 2023).…”

Commonly considered bispecific, Acorus is one of the most phylogenetically isolated angiosperm genera that forms the order Acorales sister to the rest of the monocots. The Acorus calamus group is widely distributed in the Holarctic regions of Eurasia and America and has strong medicinal and other practical uses since prehistoric times. Earlier studies interpreted native diploids and invasive triploids occurring in North America as two species that differed in morphology and distribution ranges. In contrast, diploids, triploids, and tetraploids occurring in Eurasia are commonly interpreted as one species because they reportedly cannot be distinguished in collections. We resolve the controversy over taxonomic concepts between Eurasia and America and provide the first detailed multidisciplinary account of Acorus in temperate Asia. We used plastid and nuclear markers, leaf anatomy, seed micromorphology, pollen stainability, flow cytometry, and direct chromosome counts. Diploids and tetraploids show stable molecular and micromorphological differences. Triploids are their sterile hybrids, with the plastid genome inherited from the diploid parent. Diploids of America and Asia tend to differ in leaf characters. Coadaptative coexistence with pollinating beetles Platamartus jakowlewi and Sibirhelus corpulentus (Kateretidae) is conserved between diploids and tetraploids and over a distance of 4700 km between Japan and Western Siberia. Diploids are self‐compatible and can set seeds in the absence of kateretid beetles. Tetraploids are self‐incompatible and/or cannot set seeds in the absence of Platamartus and Sibirhelus. Diploids (A. americanus) and tetraploids (A. verus) are two biological species; the former has two subspecies. Acorus calamus should be restricted to triploids; it apparently first evolved in temperate Asia. Diploids mostly occur in much cooler climates than triploids and tetraploids. Accessions of A. verus and A. calamus from tropical Asia are apparently derived from ancient introductions. Our data provide a new framework for the pharmacological use of Acorus.
