Abstract

There are many plants considered as weed and waste, people do not know the effectiveness of those plants though they are frequently used by tribes and villagers. Croton bonplandianum Bail . is also one of them. They grow in wild and waste lands and ignored by people as useful plants. Though, traditionally, it is used to cure skin, liver, lung diseases, also wound healing, antimicrobial. Recently this plant attracted the few scientists and explored by them. The plant is considered as an exotic weed, phytotoxic to its associates; show some allelopathy by destroying photosynthetic pigments. It is also toxic to another weed Parthenium hysterophorus. It is also an example of hyper accumulator, accumulates copper, rich in essential fatty acids as palmitic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Plant extract is carcinogenic if person touches and eat it, contains sesquiterpenes though studies show that it checks the tumour in potato tubers. Present study deals with High performance liquid chromatographic screening of phenolic acid in Crton bonplandianum. Baill and its larvicidal activity. Study is helpful in detecting biopotent chemicals as such.
