Pink Mornin Ng Glory Y

It is used in farm land for improving the soil fertility Pink morning glory in tropical countries (India) where it is found in Ipomoea carnea Jacq. ssp. fistulosa (Mart. ex abundant (Kondap et al. 1981)7. Choisy) D. Austin Morning glory is the common name of more than 1000 flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae. This family has about 60 genera which includes Calystegia, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Merremia, Rivea, Astripomoea, Operculina, Stictocardia, Argyreia, Lepistemon, etc. Ipomoea is a Greek word, which consists of two word Ipos=“worm” or “bindweed” and homoios= “resembling”. It refers to its twinning habit. The genus is found throughout the tropical and subtropical region of the world. Ipomoea has more than 500 species, one of them is known as pink morning glory (Ipomoea carnea sp. fistulosa - Icf, Guj. name –Naffatiyo). It was introduced in India in the eighteenth century1. The Figure 1 plant is believed to have originated in South America, where it grows in dense populations along Animal care riverbeds, banks, canals and other waterlogged (wetland) areas. In Egypt, the farmers use it as an It is used for topical diseases such as wounds and ornamental plant. It is known as “besharam” abscess. Abhalbhai H Patel, Charvi, Bansda, (brazenness) in South Asia since it can grow Navsari crushes the leaves of Ipomoea carnea and anywhere. applies to maggot infested wounds. Rayaliben Ramabhai Bariya, Dudhiya, Devgadhbaria, Dahod It is known as canudo-de-pita in Brazil. It means uses its leaves along with the leaves of Aegle “pipe-cane”, as its hollow stems were used to make marmelos, black Datura, and jaggery to control tubes for tobacco pipes. It became the namesake of abscess. Ramanbhai Bavabhai Patel, Chimla, Canudos, a religious community in the sertao of Chikhli, Navsari applies juice of leaves along with Bahia, over which the War of Canudos was fought camphor to control maggot infestation. (Also see 1893–1897. Honey Bee, 21(4),12, 2010). It was once thought to be an ecological disaster2,3 in Human care India. The plant is toxic for animals due to bioaccumulation of selenium in leaves and It is used for topical diseases such as abscess, seeds4.The plant cells of Convolvulaceae family fungal skin infection and pimples. Navneetbhai secrete resin glycosides which are chemotaxonomic Maganbhai Patel, Bochasan, Borsad, Anand, markers of this family5 and are responsible for the macerates 100g of leaves on stone and applies for purgative properties of some species of the five to six days to cure abscess.

Agriculture Pravinbhai Shantibhai Patel, Kalol, Panchmahal SRISTI has scouted 42 crop protection practices makes paste from 100g leaves, adds a pinch of salt from Gujarat where this plant has been used and 25g water. He heats it before applying and (Figure 1). Farmers have used it to control various repeats this practice for four to five days to cure insects, Heliothis, aphids, leaf curl, sucking pest, fungal infections. termite, borers, fungal diseases and for growth promotion. It is also being used to protect the grains The latex of the plant is used in traditional medicine during storage. Out of the 42 practices, it has been as a topical antiseptic in lesions (Chowdhury et al. used alone in 17 practices (40.47%). In the 1997)8. Extracts prepared from the whole plant in practices where it is used with co-ingredients; hot, but not boiling, water is widely used as maximum frequency is that of N.tabacum (7 times), antirheumatic remedy in Bolivia, see Shaltout K.H. whereas with A.indica, A.vasica, Cow urine and (2006)9.
