The present investigation was developed to evaluate the ethnopharmacological activities of some members of family Moraceae. The selected plants were Ficus bengalensis, Ficus religiosa, Ficus glomerata, Morus indica and Morus laevigata. Ethnopharmacological activities were carried out by the preparation of aqueous and methanolic extracts of different parts of these selected plants. For ethnopharmacological activities, the dried leaves of Ficus bengalensis, Ficus religiosa and Ficus glomerata, dried fruits and leaves of Morus indica and Morus laevigata were extracted with water and methanol for...

Chemical dyes are not ecofriendly dyes, but these herbal dyes are ecofriendly and free of many types of sensitivity, allergies and environmental hazards. The present study was carried out the first time to dye the leather of goat with aqueous extracts of Bauhinia variegata, Dalbergia sisso and Erythrina suberosa plant. Four different types of mordants CuSO4, FeSO4, KMnO4 and Potash Alum were used to fix the dye. These mordant gives different shades to the leather. Fastness properties (washing, heating. sunlight and rubbing.) were also done. Result was evaluated by using grey scale. Result...

In that research work the effect of different concentrations of Industrial effluents on the vegetative & reproductive growth of Lycopersicon esculentum was investigated.The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design in dry condition at the Botanical garden of LCWU, Lahore from April 2010 to July 2010. Tomato plants were used for experimentation. There were 5 replicates & 5 treatments viz. Tap water(T0), 25% Industrial water(T1), 50% Industrial water(T2), 75% Industrial water(T3) & 100% Industrial water(T4). The seeds were sown (1 seed in each pot), & after the germination...
