The term "allelopathy" refers to a biological process in which one organism produces biochemicals that impact another organism's growth, survival, and reproduction. Weeds pose a considerable risk to agricultural output because they prevent or stunt crop growth and development, resulting in substantial yield losses. Here, we examine the wide range of weeds in farming and other non-forested areas of Odisha's coastal districts. As many as 63 weed species, representing 31 families, were discovered here. The Asteraceae family has the most weed species (11), followed by the Euphorbiaceae family (9 species) and the Poaceae family (6 species). Amaranthaceae and Cucurbitaceae are also commonly found in the area of study. The data combing from the field with those from academic studies, this study improved our understanding of weeds. The paper also discusses the myriad ways natives have found to put weeds to good use. Many common weeds in the study area have long histories of use as a primary source of basic medical care. Most skin ailments, diarrhoea, jaundice, piles, and urinary problems treated with ethnomedicinal weeds are caused by parasites. Traditional cultures often used weeds in various ways, including food, animal feed, and medicine. Some plants have allelopathic impact in addition to their ethnomedical benefits. The authors of this paper present a complete and up-to-date inventory of the weed species detected in Odisha's coastal districts. It will be put to work protecting the region's unique plant and animal life. The allelopathic impacts on crops and the ethnobotanical uses of weeds have been uncovered through research.

AbstractMangroves are abundant in bioactive natural substances that fight off pathogenic diseases. Different parts of R. apiculata, an abundant mangrove found in Bhitarkanika National Park, India were extracted with methanol and a mixture of solvents methanol/ethanol/chloroform (60 : 20 : 20) to evaluate their antimicrobial properties. The combination solvent extract of bark had the highest zone of inhibition (ZOI) of 18.62 mm against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a ZOI of 17.41 mm against Streptococcus mitis. Bark extracts had the highest DPPH (43 %) and FRAP (96 %) activities. The combination solvent bark extract of R. apiculata had the highest ZOI of 20.42 mm (lowest MIC of 2.12 μg/ml) against Candida albicans and ZOI of 15.33 mm (MIC of 3.02 μg/mL) against Penicillium chrysogenum. Combination bark extracts of R. apiculata contained flavanols than methanolic extracts. The crude extract of R. apiculata bark made with a mixture of solvents containing more active ingredients could be used in novel drug formulation.

Abstract. Mohanty A, Acharya S, Swain BB, Mishra S, Mohapatra D, Mohapatra PK. 2023. Integrated nutrient management enhances the growth efficiency and productivity of Tagetes erecta cv. Sirakole. Asian J Agric 7: 88-97. The African marigold (Tagetes erecta L. cv. Sirakole) is a highly significant plant because it can be cultivated year-round, produce large blooms, have a long post-harvest life, and compactness. To determine the optimal fertilizer and manure combination, we conducted a study to explore the plant's morphological, yield, and physiological characteristics under different combinations of fertilizers, Vermicompost (VC), Poultry Manure (PM), and biofertilizer (Azospirillium + phosphate solubilizing bacteria). The most successful combination for promoting vigorous growth, dense canopy, prolific branching, longer flowering duration, large-sized flowers, and higher yield was achieved with 50% Recommended Dose of Nitrogen and Phosphorus (RDNP) + VC equivalent to 25% Recommended Dose of Nitrogen (RDN) + PM equivalent to 25% RDN + biofertilizers (@400 gha-1). Additionally, plants in this combination exhibited higher chlorophyll content (Chl) and photosynthesis (PN) than those in plots with RDNP alone or other amendments. While photosynthetic fluorescence yield jP0) and energy dissipation (jD0) did not vary, plots with RDNP had lower excitation (?0) and electron movement (jE0), as well as lower photosynthesis performance indices (PIs), compared to the nutrient combinations. Additionally, the organically amended plots showed higher microbial density and soil enzyme activities than those with RDNP alone. Our findings indicate that using a combination of fertilizer, manure, and biofertilizers is the most effective way to improve the photosynthetic capacity and flower yield of T. erecta cv. Sirakole.

Since mangroves are found near extremely transitional ecosystems, they face a lot of physico-chemical perturbations. As mangroves possess a unique ecotone, they experience many abiotic stressors viz. salinity, metal, oil, humidity temperature, nutrient and a wide range of biotic interactions. Amongst all, salinity is the most important factor affecting mangrove physiology and biochemistry, and thereby regulating the organic matter contribution to the consumers underneath. Exploitation by human, being a dominant biotic interference, is above the rate at which natural replacement of mangrove vegetation occur. Mal-nutrition is a limiting factor in growth and reproduction of many mangroves whereas nutrient replenishment reduces the phytotoxicity of heavy metals. Different environmental pollutants including heavy metals, recalcitrant, cosmetics, petroleum oil and endocrine disrupters have reported impact on various mangroves and associated biota. Stress tolerance in mangroves involves various mechanism including morphological and anatomical features, osmoregulation, water use efficiency, salt secretion, salt exclusion and salt accumulation and molecular regulations. Various aspects of salt tolerance strategies of mangroves related to their growth, biochemical anatomy and physiology were reported by many researchers.
