Abstract
Indigenous medicinal practices rely on the historical usage of plants available in the vicinity of communities. Among several usages, crude extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica) and nagod or Nirgundior notchi (Vitex negundo) are widely used for control of tick infestation among farm animals. Understanding the functional stability of crude extract is essential in utilizing technical preparation at farm/fields. This study was conducted to analyse functional groups of a value-added, polyherbal acaricide at normal environmental condition and was compared herbal extracts using Fourier Transform Infrared spectra. The infrared spectra reflected peak absorbance for neem leaves in two spectra viz., wave number 3200-3400 cm-1 and at 1637 cm”1 and nagod leaves in three spectra viz., 3200-3400 cm-1, at 1638 cm-1and at 1213 cm”1. In value-added polyherbal preparation involving both neem and nagod [in ratio of 3:1], peak absorbance were noticed only at two areas viz., 3200–3400 cm”1and at 1636 cm”1. This might be due to the change in intermolecular force among phyto-constituents which act as functional groups. The study found there was not much change in functional group stability over a period of 53 days for polyherbal acaricide and for neem crude extracts. The responsible functional groups, such as – OH and C=C were identified for their bioactivity against ectoparasite.
