Wild edible fungus, Astraeus hygromatricus was analysed for its nutritional and anti nutritional contents. 11.71% and 4.66% protein content was recorded in outer part and inner part of the fruit bodies, respectively which is comparable with other edible mushrooms. Fruit bodies contain high carbohydrate content i.e., 29.48% and 35.41% in outer and inner parts respectively. The ash content of A. hygrometricus is low (2.5%). Fungus samples are good source of minerals such as P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn. Two major vitamins i.e., water soluble vitamins, ascorbic acid and thiamine, were also found to be present in both inner and outer parts (3.26 and 0.26 mg/100g).Keywords

Saponins were isolated from the neoil bearing forest seeds viz., Maduca indica, Sapindus mukrossi and their herbicidal activities were assessed under laboratory conditions at different dilutions against Echinochloa colanum, a notorious weed of silvi-agri (babul-paddy) agroforesty model. The effect of dilutions viz., 2.5, 5, 10% of saponin isolates on % germination, and ischolar_main and shoot length were recorded. The incorporation of 2.5%concentration of saponin dilutions of different species drastically reduced germination (35-47%) as compared thecontrol.No ischolar_main formationwas recorded in all treatments while 60.09-94.95% shoot length inhibition over control (3.27 cm) was recorded in different treatments. Screened species grow luxuriantly in tropical region and easily available source for the isolation of saponins, which can be utilized as a lead molecule for the synthesis of safer, eco-friendlyandmore economicalweed control agents.Keywords
