Phytochemical Investigation of Parthenium hysterophorus and its Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

Parthenium hysterophorus, which is an invasive weed.it is Native of Mexico,comes under Asteraceae. Our study Area is at Hameedganj,which is a village comes in sehore district.Parthenium is a species of flowering plant , its leaves looks like carrot leaf so it is also known as Carrot Grass.its pollen are very harmful and causes itching when it is touched. It spreads very fast and cause harm to useful crops like Wheat.its adaptability is very high preferring semi arid and dry conditions. Once it grows, it spreads very fast, so Globally various weed control strategies are applied to control its population but there are certain limitation with conventional methods. So Management of parthenium is a Global problem and still remains a focused view Our research is to investigate its phytochemical analysis and its Antibacterial property,so that it can be managed and used Economically.
