Guayule (Parthenium argentatium) is capable of producing commercial rubber in wastelands and marginal areas of the country. This paper describes adaptation, botany, geneties and breeding behaviour, rubber extraction methodology, agroclimatic requirements and cultivation practices of Guayule. The research work done under the All Indla Coordinated Research Project on under utilised plants as well as research needs and future prospects of commercialisation of this plant have been mentioned.

Recent acceptance of natural herbal medicines as an alternative form of health care and development of microbial resistance has led to investigate the antimicrobial action of medicinal plants. Present investigation is focused on antimicrobial potential of nine commonly used Indian medicinal herbs. The antimicrobial screening of hydroalcoholic extract of all the nine plants was carried out by agar welldiffusion method and broth dilution method. The efficacy of extracts has been evaluated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against pathogenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) and Candida albicance (ATCC 10231). MIC values of individual extracts ranged between 0.4-0.9 mg/ml. MIC values of the combined crude extracts were recorded as 0.3 mg/ml (C. albicance ) , 0.5 mg/ml (Staph. aureus), and 0.6 mg/ml (P. aeruginosa) . The MIC values obtained in each test organisms were inhibitory as well as cidal values. Susceptibility of test organisms was in decreasing order C. albicance > Staph . aureus > P. aeruginosa. Thus our findings validate the use of these medicinal plants in traditional systems of medicines and their potential role in antimicrobial therapy.

The study was conducted in Udaipur and Jhalawar district of Rajasthan, to know the Empowerment status of SHG members. Total 1123 groups were registered during year 2008-09 by different forming agencies. In which, 102 SHGs were selected from NABARD, ICDS, DRDA and SAUs.Major finding revels that comparison of empowerment data before joining the SHGs, there was slight change in status of women, as before joining the SHG there were 33 office bearers who were found in the low empowerment category of legal and political empowerment however, after becoming the member of SHGs the percentage decreased upto 10 per cent and only 24 office bearers remained in this category.Keywords
