“…Further, the highest biogas production was achieved with 205 ± 10 mL CH 4 /g VS and cumulative methane production reached up to 4994 ± 25 mL on the 25 th day. Within 30 days of incubation, 80% of biogas production was achieved and kinetic study also confirmed the efficiency of biogas production [ 41 ]. Thus, the biomass from this terrestrial invasive plant can be converted as a very effective resource and used in an eco-friendly manner with the generation of viable clean energy at a minimum cost.…”

“…Thus, ACE-SA film can potentially serve as an effective wound-dressing material [ 40 ]. Additionally, the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of A. conyzoides has been studied to find the ideal food to microorganism (F/M) ratio and as an alternative energy source [ 41 ]. The assay revealed that out of different ratios examined (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5), the F/M ratio of 2 showed maximum methane (CH 4 ) and volatile solid (VS) production from the anaerobic digestion.…”

Turning Waste into Beneficial Resource: Implication of Ageratum conyzoides L. in Sustainable Agriculture, Environment and Biopharma Sectors

The annual herb, Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae), is distributed throughout the world. Although invasive, it can be very useful as a source of essential oils, pharmaceuticals, biopesticides, and bioenergy. However, very limited information exists on the molecular basis of its different utility as previous investigations were mainly focused on phytochemical/biological activity profiling. Here we have explored various properties of A. conyzoides that may offer environmental, ecological, agricultural, and health benefits. As this aromatic plant harbors many important secondary metabolites that may have various implications, biotechnological interventions such as genomics, metabolomics and tissue-culture can be indispensable tools for their mass-production. Further, A. conyzoides acts as a natural reservoir of begomoviruses affecting a wide range of plant species. As the mechanisms of disease spreading and crop infection are not fully clear, whole-genome sequencing and various advanced molecular technologies including RNAi, CRISPER/Cas9, multi-omics approaches, etc., may aid to decipher the molecular mechanism of such disease development and thus, can be useful in crop protection. Overall, improved knowledge of A. conyzoides is not only essential for developing sustainable weed control strategy but can also offer potential ways for biomedicinal, environment, safe and clean agriculture applications.

“…The least infested areas should be targeted first, followed by those with dense infestations. The waste accumulated may even be utilized for biogas or compost production [ 79 , 91 , 114 ]. With the help of the public, the further re-emergence and spread of the weed should be checked.…”

Ageratum conyzoides L. (Billy goat weed; Asteraceae) is an annual herbaceous plant of American origin with a pantropical distribution. The plant has unique biological attributes and a raft of miscellaneous chemical compounds that render it a pharmacologically important herb. Despite its high medicinal value, the constant spread of the weed is noticeable and alarming. In many countries, the weed has severely invaded the natural, urban, and agroecosystems, thus presenting management challenges to natural resource professionals and farmers. Its interference with agricultural crops, grassland forbs, forest ground flora, and its ability to replace native plant species are of serious concern. Therefore, it is pertinent to monitor its continuous spread, its entry into new geographic regions, the extent of its impact, and the associated evolutionary changes. While management strategies should be improvised to control its spread and reduce its adverse impacts, the possible utilization of this noxious weed for pharmacological and agronomic purposes should also be explored. The objective of this review is to provide a detailed account of the global distribution, biological activities, ecological and environmental impacts, and strategies for the management of the agro-environmental weed A. conyzoides.
