Herbal products are becoming popular in society and their demand is showing regular increase in the market. A study was undertaken to assess the number of herbal products in selected categories of face care, tooth care, hair care and foot care at Haridwar, Uttarakhand. It was observed that maximum number of products were available under hair care category followed by face care, tooth care and foot care. Price-wise, face care products were the costliest among these.Keywords

Industrial Hemp, commonly known as 'Bhang', is an underutilized biomass found in Uttarakhand. Its stem shows fibre properties ie., cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Samples 'A' and 'B' of Industrial Hemp fibre (Bhang) were made and sample 'A' was chemically treated with washing soda and 'B' with Boric acid. These chemically treated fibre samples were carded and spun in Nandprayag (weaving cluster developed by Uttaranchal Bamboo and Fiber Development Board-UBFDB). The spun fibre showed less breaking percentage and its appearance was white hence it can be used in textile/cordage at cottage entrepreneurship level. However due to lack of awareness, development of processing methods for fibre, Industrial Hemp and its use in textile/cordage industry these remain undeveloped and unexplored in Uttarakhand. Hence, UBFDB is undertaking continuous efforts to establish this Industrial Hemp fibre at commercial level to provide employment to local people of Uttarakhand.Keywords

Lantana is a rapidly growing obnoxious weed though it has potential of purposeful utilization. Preservation of bamboo during storage with the help of preservative of natural origin i.e. Lantana extract may result in saving of material. Extractives of aerial parts and ischolar_main components of L. camara were made in polar and non polar solvents i.e. petroleum ether, acetone, methanol and hot water were tested against Schizophyllum commune. the pioneer colonizer decay fungus and Polyparus areulanus. the secondary stage parasite of Bamboo in storage and use. Laboratory bioassay exhibited that methanolic extract of Lantana camara were highly fungicidal at very low concentrations.Keywords

The present study is an exploration of lantana extracts against bamboo decaying fungi. Lantana is a rapidly growing obnoxious weed though it has potential of purposeful utilization. Extracts from Lantana camara leaves have been reported to have antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal and nematicidal activity. Concentrations of aerial and ischolar_main extracts of L. camara were prepared in petroleum ether, acetone, methanol and hot water. Bamboo blocks treated with the highest concentration of L. camara (aerial and ischolar_main) methanol extract against bamboo degrading white rot fungi Schizophyllum commune and Polyporus arcularius recorded a weight loss of 13.68%, 9.20% and 14.64%, 9.92% respectively. Methanol ischolar_main extracts of L. camara proved to be the best treatment.Keywords
