In the present study, the methanolic extract of Drynaria quercifolia rhizome was investigated for its anti inflammatory activity by Human Red Blood Cell (HRBC) Membrane stabilization method. Different concentration (100, 200 and 300 mcg) of rhizome extract were used and the potency of extract was compared with standard Diclofenac (100, 200 and 300 mcg). Plant extract exhibited notable anti-inflammatory activity in a dose dependent manner. The maximum membrane stabilization was found to be 34.94% for plant extract and 41.62% for standard Diclofenac at a dose of 300 mcg. In conclusion, the results thus obtained suggested that rhizome of Drynaria quercifolia possess considerable antiinflammatory activity and therefore further in vivo studies are needed to establish it as a potent anti-inflammatory agent.Keywords

Protective effect of Hygrophila auriculata leaf extract on cadmium chloride induced hepatotoxicity in albino wistar rats were investigated by analyzing various biochemical parameters. cadmium chloride induced hepatic damage was well manifested by significant increase in the activities of SGOT, SGPT, ALP, ACP, total bilirubin, MDA and LDH and also decreased in total protein and GSH. The oral administration of aqueous extract of Hygrophila auriculata (100mg/kg body wight) along with cadmium chloride for 7 days reversed these altered parameters to normal level which indicating the hepatoprotective efficacy of Hygrophila auriculata against cadmium chloride induced liver injury. Phytochemical constituents such as flavonoids are responsible for the hepato protective activity of Hygrophila auriculata. Further extensive studies are required for its potential uses in clinical practice.Keywords

Pennar is an important river of Ananthapuram district where 80 per cent of the district is drained by the river. Ground water levels were monitored from a network of 71 observation wells four times in a year. The depth to water level during pre-monsoon (2005) range from 2.53 to 19.67 m below ground water level. Less fluctuation is observed in the areas where the water levels were comparatively shallow during pre-monsoon and where the slope is less. Generally in kalluamarri village September, October, November are the months where in the ground water levels are increasing. Similarly during the months from January to May there is no recharge of ground water.Keywords

Rainfall is the major controlling factor in planning of agricultural programmes, design and management of any water resource scheme. India is predominantly an agricultural country with about 60 per cent of the cultivated area under rainfed conditions. The present study was carried for Ananthapuram district which is one among the rainfed areas in the country.The design rainfall is calculated from the probability analysis. It is assigned some probability level of occurrence or exceedance. The daily or monthly rainfall analysis for a wide range of applications extending from real time monitoring and prediction of flood events to initialization and validation of numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate analysis and climate diagnostic study. The study showed there is a large variation in the rainfall received yearly as well as Kharif and Rabi seasons. Similarly the co-efficient of variation is 39.15 per cent for yearly rainfall, 57.35 per cent for Kharif and 65.18 per cent for Rabi seasons this indicates the annual rainfall data are less variable and is more stable or more uniform. The probability analyses were conducted for the year 2001-2012. Probability of getting 2012 year wise as well as season wise the yearly rainfall is 731mm only five per cent and probability of getting 413mm is 94.9 per cent. It indicates that the last 12 years trend shows the yearly rainfall will not cross 400-500 mm which is the bench mark for designing the crops that are to be grown in Ananthapuramu district. Similar trends were noticed in the probability analysis in season wise. When analyzed statistically there was a negative correlation between water requirement and yield and similarly positive correlation between rainfall and yield, the results are reflected. The trend values are shown linearly dependent. There is a perfect linear dependency on the trend values. The actual crop water requirements are progressively decreasing from 2012 to 2020.Keywords
