ETHNOBOTANY FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE OF PADDY AND GROUNDNUT CROPS ABSTRACT J. Lavanya, Lecturer in Botany, Visakha Govt.Degree & PG College for Women, Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), India D. Sandhya Deepika, Professor, Botany Department, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), India G. Narendra babu , Research Scholar, Botany Department, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), India Paddy is the important food crop of the world. It is rich in fibre, protein, vitamin B, iron and manganese. Groundnut is also nutritious and healthy food crop. To achieve sustainable agriculture of these crops biofertilizers and biopesticides play an important role. Biofertilizers and biopesticides are the best option for sustainable agriculture as they enhance crop production. Addition of organic biofertilizers and biopesticides to increase soil fertility may be an easy and useful method to improve productivity in tropical regions. Many ethnobotanically important plants have been used for medical and therapeutic uses but in this paper we have focused on ethnobotanical plants usage in sustainable agriculture. In olden days farmers used different plants in agricultural fields which increased the soil fertility. To attain sustainable agriculture we can harness important ethnobotanical plants used by the farmers in olden days. Ethnobotanical plants can act as the important components of integrated nutrient management system due to their significant role in soil sustainability. 10 ethnobotanical plants were identified which can be used as Biofertilizers and biopesticides. Sustainable agriculture can prevent adverse effects to soil, water and biodiversity which bestow sustainability of human population. Keywords : Etnobotanical plants, biofertilizers, biopesticides, sustainable agriculture.
