Dear Dr Oudhia,

Thank you for constructing a very excellent web site on parthenium weed. At the moment we have no new work going on Parthenium weed. This is probably true for all of Australia. It is possible that a group called the parthenium research group will be re established in Australia in the very near future. If that occurs we will be happy to restart sending information to your site.

Regards

Respected Sir,

I myself Abhishek Amit. Presently persuing my (B.A).I am resident of PURNEA ,BIHAR .One day as I was on the way for my
morning walk I saw a weed like PARTHENIUM ,as it was very similar to the said weed I came closer and examined that weed and came to the conclusion that the weed is PARTHENIUM .As per described in my PLUS TWO text book.I also came to know about its adverse effect on the human and Animal.After that I tried to seek more information about it But I was not satisfied. Today I visited your site today and came to know that there is a organitation about it.Here in Purnea, as per my survey most of the idle land is covered by the noxious weed say 50%.I think no one knows about it here, if someone knows also no one is taking interest in it. I would like to do some thing .So please help me in doing so. For this I'll be ever thankful to you.

Yours faithfully
