Abstract

Three healthy Chromolaena odorata plant were taken and labeled as A, B and C respectively. Two of them were given different smoke conditions for 5 days. Primarily the effect of smoke produced from havana-pooja and combustion of diesel are compared to show that both have almost similar effect on plants. Secondly the minimum conditions which are required to make Havana-pooja a treatment therapy are studied. Plant A was allowed to grow under normal condition and plant B and C were treated with the smoke of havana - pooja and diesel respectively. Similar morphological symptoms were observed in planr B and C. Our study clearly shows that if havana-Pooja is not performed with care, instead of treatment for ailments it can be as lethal as inhaling diesel smoke.
