  • Indigenous Utilization of Weed Flora of District Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
    Science Arena Publications Specialty Journal of Agricultural Sciences ISSN: 2412-737X Available online at www.sciarena.com 2018, Vol 4 (2): 9-20 Indigenous Utilization of Weed Flora of District Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Nauman Khan*, Abdul Razzaq, Fazal Hadi, Naushad Khan, Abdul Basit, Farmanullah Jan Department of Botany, University of Peshawar, Peshawar, Pakistan. *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Abstract: District Charsadda is a very important center of plant biodiversity in the central plain of Peshawar valley, Pakistan. The present study was carried out during 2015-2016 to investigate the ethno botanical profile of common weed flora present in district Charsadda, KP, Pakistan. The study revealed that there were 40 weed species belonging to 21 families. Among them, 25 weeds were annual herbs, 9 weeds were perennial herbs, three were annual grass, one was a climbing herb, one was a parasitic weed, and one was rhizomatic grass. The dominant families were Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Poaceae having 5 species (12.5 %) each followed by Ranunculaceae with 3 species (7.5 %). Plants were systematically arranged into botanical names, local names, families, habits, habitats, used parts, flowering periods, localities, and ethno botanical uses. The main aim of the study is the documentation and collection of ethno botanical information of the weed flora growing in the area. Keywords: Indigenous Uses, Weed Species, Local Uses, Annual, Perennial, District Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa INTRODUCTION Charsadda derives its name from its headquarters’ town. At the time of Alexander's invasion, Charsadda was known as Pushkalavati (The Lotus city). Charsadda district lies in the central plain of Peshawar valley between 34-03' to 34-28' North Latitude and 71-28' to 71-33' East Longitudes with area of 996 square kilometres.

Pakistan Tel : (0521) 44392, 40839, 45347 Fax : (0521) 840471 February. 1995 INTRODUCTION I am very pleased to make available the ACBAR Database for 1994.This is now theseventh edition of this publication, that ACBAR has compiled, since 1988. This year, in order to control the size and related costs for the future, we have decidedto publish the Database in two separate parts: Part A: Closed and Discontinued Projects, as at end 1994: - presented in four separate volumes: Volume I Location - Province/District Volume II Sector Volume IIIAgency Volume IVRefugees in Pakistan. - this will NOT be reprinted. Part B: Ongoing Projects; and Proposed and Surveyed activities: Volume V Ongoing Projects - by Location; Sector, Agency; Refugees; and Proposed & Surveyed Activities. - this will be updated during 1995. The five volumes of the Database, which total some 1400 pages, have taken considerable time and effort to prepare. They provide a compilation of the activities as reported by 272 Non -Government Organisations (NGOs) working for Afghanistan. Whilst most agencies are Peshawar based, activities are also reported for agencies located in Islamabad, Quetta and inside Afghanistan. Whilst ACBAR has not had the ability to confirm the information provided, I am confident that this publication provides as accurate a picture as possible of NGO activities related to Afghanistan and refugees over the period to 1994. I would like to express my gratitude to agencies for providing the data.

Data about medicinal plants were collected from local community through open ended questionnaires, corner meetings, interviews and group discussion. A total of 64 ethnomedicinal plant species belonging to 56 genera and 31 families was documented, in which the herb species (39) dominated the list followed by trees (14) and shrubs (11). Family importance value (FIV) indicated that Asteraceae (8 species, 12.5%) was the leading family that contributed the largest number of species, followed by Apiaceae (7 species, 10.93), Rosaceae (6 species, 9.37%) and Lamiaceae (4 species, 6.25%) respectively.From the result it was recorded that leaves and fruits are the frequently used plant parts in the preparation of medicinal plantrecipes. It was concluded that over-harvesting, excessive use, habitat loss, degradation, deforestation, agriculture expansion, overpopulation, invasion of invasive alien species andover grazing are the prominentstresses to the medicinal plant biodiversity of the valley.
