Assessing the status of soil seed bank in Parthenium hysterophorus invaded land use types and its social aspects in Lower Hare Watershed, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: This study aimed to assess soil seed bank of Parthenium hysterophorus under major land usetypes and assess community perception towards the effects of P. hysterophorus on socialaspects in lower Hare watershed. For this study, 210 soil samples were collected from fifteentransect lines in grassland, cropland, and forestland use types. Statistical analysis using threeways factorial ANOVA was used to analyze the difference in density of P. hysterophorusamong various land uses soil …

Herbicide Resistance in Relation to Weed Management in Crops and Cropping Systems in Reference to North East: Review
Abstract: AbstractWeeds are one of the greatest limiting factors to efficient crop production. As a consequence of structural and financing problems the cultural condition of the soil deteriorates and weeds proliferate; many species are hard to kill. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever-increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Despite advances in control technologies, weeds have retained their rank as the most damaging …

The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components. Studies have implicated PQ as one of the pesticides that contributes to the reduction in male reproductive functions in humans and animals during exposure. This study, therefore, determined the antioxidant effect vitamin …
