Home gardening plant diversity in relation to remoteness from urban center-Dallirajhara Distt – Balod (C. G.)

Abstract

Home garden in India have long been important multipurpose agroforestry system that combine ecological and socioeconomic sustainability. They are significant means of ex-situ conservation and a repository of many of the endangered and rare plant. In recent year however increasing urbanization and accompanying removed tree and perennial agroforestry have resulted in the breakdown of these traditional agroforestry system accompanied by increasing economic, culture, nutritional and environment problems particularly in the urban area. Present study documents of home garden plant diversity of urban center Dallirajhara. The survey period conducted during august 2016 to October 2017. In which observe total no. of plant species 168 were identified in homegardaning plants. This belongs to 159 angiosperm, 05 gymnosperm, 04 pteridophyta plants. In angiosperm 129 plants (77%) class dicotyledons of 50 family, 30 plants (18%) in monocotyledons of 10 family and 05 plants (3%) in gymnosperm of 04 family, 04 plants (2%) in pteridophyta 02 families . A total number of herb, climber,shrub,tree, hydrophytes and pteridophytes plants were 86,21,22,31,04 and 04 recorded respectively. This seemed due to remoteness from urban area relative, isolation and consequently little intraction of the forness which side communities and easy aviability of plant product near by forest. Although these finding appears to contradict the permis that sustainability forming in such remote area encourage formers to produse a broad variety of species and therefore remoteness from urban center increase species richness on forms. Story revaled that majorty of plants growth by the homegarden owner were cultivated plant however some of them were noted as exotic and endemic plant in this way homegardens are proved to be on effective means of plant conservation.
