CONCLUSION
Present analysis clearly indicates that the selected wildcraft
herb considered as weeds have the potential to accumulate
high levels of Primary, Mineral nutrients with AMF
inoculants.
Mycorrhizal fungi are able to enhance the absorption of
nutrients from the soil by mass flow through roots and
diffused slowly thus, increasing in biomass as well as
Princeple biochemical compontnts
OUT LOOK ON NEW FIELDS FOR
STANDARDISATION
• Cultivating such wild herbs can fetch
pocket money to the poor farmers, as well
provide nutrient dietary food rather a
medicine.
• Isolating and standardizing the principle
bioactive compounds from such plants are
remarkable accounts for the
Pharmaceutical industries.
