AND Plantago Ovata (L). | | By : Pushpa Jain , Pramod Jain | | Abstract : Mandsaur district is rich in black cotton soil. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Linseed (Linum usitatissimum (Forsk.) are the chief Rabi crops and Isabgol (Plantago ovata (L) is the medicinal crop of the district. the moderate rainfall,
climatic conditions and the soil found in the area favours the cultivation of
these crops. District is also having monopoly in the slate pencil industry as the stone ‘Binota Sedimentary Rock’ is only found in the mines of the district. The Slate Pencil manufacturing process is dry method in which enormous amount
of dust is emitted through stacks. Thus the dust is affecting the flora and fauna. It covers all the aerial parts of the plants growing in the vicinity of the
industries. The dust is affecting the growth of the plants and their by the yield also. In order to study the effect of dust on these crops dust spray treatment was selected. In the experiment varied amount of dust was sprayed on these crops at different intervals. Different parameters regarding the leaf
morphology was studied. Observations reveal that the dust affects these crops
tremendously. | | | | Author Profile | Full-Text PDF |View Video | |
