Plantain (Plantago species)

There are over 200 species of Plantain within the genus Plantago (which are species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae). Plantago major (pictured above), the broadleaf plantain, white man's footprint, waybread, or greater plantain, . Plantago lanceolata is known by the common names ribwort plantain, narrowleaf plantain (narrow leaf plantain), English plantain, ribleaf, lamb's tongue, and buckhorn.

Plantains' are a common "weed" on cultivated or disturbed land; narrow and broadleaf are often found in the same places. Two of the most common species, broadleaf plantain (P. major) and ribwort plantain (P. lanceolata), have followed human migration from Europe and Asia and are now naturalized in most temperate and subtropical regions of the world.

Plantains are a highly nutritious wild edible, that is high in calcium and vitamins A, C, and K. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, and the older, stringier leaves can be boiled in stews and eaten (as a "potherb"). The seeds are also edible (but ingesting large quantities can cause a drop in blood pressure). The leaves of narrow plantain are more bitter than broad leaf (pictured here). The ‘bud’ on the flower stem tastes surprisingly like mushrooms.

Plantain has powerful properties for wound healing. It has the perfect amount of allantoin, which helps cellular proliferation in our tissues (but does not have too much, so it won't make it heal too fast). It is astringent and will help tighten the wound, and pull infection and splinters out of the skin. It can be used as a leaf extract or even a spit poultice (chewed thoroughly). It helps with itching, histamine reactions, insect bites, snake bites, and any topical issue. Leaves in poultice used for sores, rashes, blisters, swellings, and insect stings. The plant was once used for malaria and epilepsy.

The allantoin, the constituent that promotes tissue regeneration, is also found in Comfrey (Symphytum spp.)—but plantain is much milder and can be used to help resolve all types of minor superficial wounds without comfrey's safety concerns.

Plantain has anti-infectious and antiviral properties against the herpes virus. Studies have shown the antibacterial properties of plantain on Staphylococcus aureus and, among others, on Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Plantago asiatica (Chinese Plantain) extract also significantly reduced Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) replication and RSV-mediated syncytial formation in the Human epithelial type 2 cell line in a dose-dependent manner.

Plantain can help with poor digestion by stimulating your liver and assists the liver in getting toxins out of your body. The anti-inflammatory and demulcent properties of plantain make it very soothing for your digestive tract. The seeds of any plantain may lower cholesterol when ingested.

Tea brewed from leaves is used to treat coughs and bronchitis. Plantain treatments are also used traditionally for diarrhea, dysentery, and bloody urine.

Psyllium is the husk of plantain seeds (also considered plantain seed coat) (a type of fiber often used as a natural laxative since it absorbs water as it moves through your digestive tract). Psyllium is a soluble fiber used primarily as a gentle bulk-forming laxative in products such as Metamucil. Psyllium can help relieve both constipation and diarrhea, and is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, and other intestinal problems. Psyllium has also been used to help regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Bacillus thuringiensis for Controlling Plutella xylostella on Mustard Plants

Abstract

Numerous chemical insecticides have been used in order to control pests, which damage for agriculture. While chemical insecticides have knock down effect to the insect pests, they are too expensive in the developing countries and harmful to both human and the environment. One of the most important global problems is protecting crops from insect. For the control insects, synthetic chemical are continuously used. The implementation of integrated pest management aims to suppress adverse effects of the use of synthetic pesticides, plant pest immunity, prevent resurgence, and utilize as much as possible the ability of nature with using environmentally friendly microbio insecticide. Green mustard is a plant widely cultivated farmers in Indonesia, but green mustard plants also contain vitamins and nutrient that are important for health, because of the many cases of low productivity, one pests of caterpillars of causing farmers to suffer losses and the impact on the use of chemical insecticides by semi subsistence for control of caterpillar pests. To cope with the excessive use of chemical insecticides, the uses of microbio insecticide are more environmentally friendly can be applied. This study aimed to determine the mortality of insects, the rapid of time to control caterpillar pests at green mustard plants and to determine the concentration of B. thuringiensis the most effective way to control caterpillar pests on green mustard. In this result of study that it was found that the application of the most influence very real to the intensity of death caterpillar green mustard plants is K1 (Turex WP) with a concentration of 1g per liter. The best concentration and able to kill the caterpillars (Plutella xylostella) amounted to 71.00% within one day of observation after being treated.

Introduction

The mustard plant is included in the leaf vegetable of the Cruciferae family which has economic value. The mustard plant is a plant species in the genera Brassica and Sinapsis in the family Brassicaceae. Mustard, any of several herbs belonging to the mustard family of plants, Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), or the condiment made from these plants’ pungent seeds. The leaves and swollen leaf stems of mustard plants are also used, as greens, or potherbs. The principal types are white, or yellow mustard (Sinapis alba), a plant of Mediterranean origin; and brown, or Indian, mustard (Brassica juncea), which is Himalayan origin. The latter species has almost entirely replaced the formerly used black mustard (Brassica nigra) which was unsuitable for mechanized cropping and which new occurs mainly as an introduced weed.

Numerous chemical insecticides have been used in order to control pests, which damage for agriculture. While chemical insecticides have knock down effect to the insect pests, they are too expensive in the developing countries and harmful to both human and the environment. In addition, target insect pests rapidly develop biological resistance especially at higher rates of application. The chemical insecticides are still contributing to human life enormously, but they have been distributed in ecological system of organisms including human beings because of their low specific toxicity to any organism and their low specific toxicity to any organism and their slight decomposition in nature (Ameriana et al., 2000). Therefore, many biological controls of insects have been investigated. Currently, researches on the use pathogenic microorganisms to control insect pests are increasing. Microbial pest control is practiced in different parts of the world though utilization of pathogen likes fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes. Bacterial research causing disease in insects began in the late nineteenth century. It was a study of flacherie of the silkworm, bombx mori (Burges and Hussey, 1971; Burges, 1981). Ishiwata (1901) in this report on the discovery of sotto bacillus, reffered briefly to occurrence of sotto bacillus-like organism, which causes the disease to silkworm larvae.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a gram positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, commonly used as a biological pesticide. B. thuringiensis also occurs naturally in the gut of caterpillars of various types of moths and butterflies, as well on leaf surfaces, aquatic environments, animal feces, insect-rich environments, and flour mills and grain-storage facilities. It has also been observed to parasitize other moths such as Cadra calidella in laboratory experiments working with C. calidella, many of the moth were diseased due to this parasite.

Dealing with weeds:

Suppress weeds 10 ply newspaper or cardboard wet/add compost. Make sure leaf mould is well rotted.

Cleaver- sticky Willy annual

Hairy bitter cress ff mode ephemeral - prolific weed

Hairy Bittercress 👇🏻

Rumex tap root 👆yellow dock. But can be useful:

Leaves in very small quantities can be eaten raw until the flower spikes appear. Yellow dock’s leaves can be cooked at any time so long as they are green. Leaves can be added to salads, cooked as a potherb or added to soups and stews. Stems can be consumed raw or cooked but they are best peeled and the inner portion consumed. Seeds can be eaten raw or cooked once they are brown. Yellow dock seeds can be used as a coffee substitute. The root contains the most medicinal properties; it can be boiled to make a bitter tea that detoxifies, helps the liver or skin ailments, and is used as a laxative.

Tools- hoe - hit dry day, leave weed on surface

Cultivator - lifts a lot of soil out

Mulching. Fill up otherwise gaps for weeds to grow
