Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Home garden is an integrated system which consists of different plants in its small area that produces a variety of foods and agricultural products including vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants, ornamentals etc. All home gardeners were individually interviewed about home garden management and plant utilization, among other information. The biological and cultural significance of agro biodiversity in home gardens are highlighted with the future obligation and prospect in home gardens to improve our natural resource and avoid the pollution with free air circulation. The main objective of this study was to assess the status, composition and diversity of plants in an urban home gardens with the help of socio economic factors of households. The study was carried out in Palayamkottai region of Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 182 species were observed, which belonging to 159 genera and 71 families. Most of plants were dicot with 53 families and 150 species, whereas monocot with 15 families and 29 species and third one gymnosperm were presented with 2 families and 2 species and a single species of Pteridophyte also were documented. Fabaceae, Apocyanaceae and Solanaceae were the most dominant family in this home garden. by J. Vijayakumari | V. Sundara Prabha | E. Jebarubi | T. Leon Stephan Raj | S.
