This paper presented the ethnomedicine for dysentery and diarrhoea that is in practice among the tribes Konda Reddi, Koyas, etc. in Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh.

The present study deals with the extraction of natural dye from this species, commonly known as Fire-Flame Bush, and their application on textiles. Three different techniques/methods for extraction of dye from the collected flowers were evaluated to determine the best extraction method.

This study provides scientific basis for the ethno-botanical knowledge of the local community. The phytochemicals of the plants when developed further, can offer a less-expensive treatment for various ailments.

In the present study, Myrica esculenta Buch.-Ham., Pinus roxburghii Sarg. and Terminalia chebula Retz. have selected as natural dyes on the basis of their traditional uses.

The objective of the study was to find a suitable protectant(s) which is locally available and can extend the shelf life of brown rice which is otherwise nutritionally very rich.

The study was conducted in six villages of Dharsiva block of Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. Rice is the main crop being cultivated. The paper describes the indigenous technologies used by the farmers in paddy cultivation.

The paper presents four plants used as an agricultural season indicator by Mao Naga tribe of Manipur, India. Agriculture is the main occupation of the tribe and they have a unique way of knowing plantation season for different crops by observing the flowering of some plants.

There has been a paradigm shift in recent years towards the use of natural, reliable, and sustainable products in grain protection; from the conventional use of synthetic toxic substances. The role of traditional knowledge in storage protection is being increasingly realized across the globe.

Primitive agriculture like jhuming is widely prevalent in North East India for food production. Besides this, some potential indigenous farming systems are exist like Alder (Alnus nepalensis) based farming system, Zabo farming, Panikheti in hills and pond based farming system in plains of the region developed by local farmers using their ingenuity and skills over the centuries.

The Yetbung Lingang and Linkum are such traditional water conservation structures made up of locally available stones/ boulders, bamboo and tokopata and used to divert the perennial stream of the area for Panikheti and winter crop cultivation.
