A Preliminary Survey of Traditional Organic Piscicides from Local Flora of Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal, India

The present work is an extensive field work in different Blocks of Paschim Medinipur district and review of published literature concerning piscicidal properties of locally available plants growing in this district. It will provide comprehensive information for further research. Due to presence of safe phyto chemical, these plants would be an eco friendly alternative of synthetic chemical substances to reduce the chemical hazards in the environment. The present study provides only preliminary report and may be the source for further scientific and analytical research to evaluate the efficacy of the toxic as well as safe properties of these plants. Total 90 no. of plant species belonging to 81 no of Genus, 46 no of Families are enumerated alphabetically with scientific names, common Names, ecological status, parts used and chemical nature. Traditional plant piscicides used by tribes in this district has also been studied. No such work has yet been done in this district.
