Different journals showed that different extracts of E. globulus leaf had varying degrees of inhibition on germination and seedling growth of S. nigrum weed and more inhibition was seen with higher concentrations. In present study, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts had the strongest inhibitory effects. Therefore, it is possible to use these two extracts as a component for production of bio-herbicides. Eucalyptus species caused drawbacks rather than improving the performance of the undergrowth vegetation unlike the mentioned multipurpose trees. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) offer plants chemical defences against herbivores and are known to influence intake and diet choice in both insect and mammalian herbivores. That is why eucalyptus leaf palatability to sheep and goat is reduced.","PeriodicalId":14445,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Environmental Sciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"84-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86298294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some traditional methods are used for disposal of food waste but are inferior. The anaerobic digestion has significance approach in food waste management. This method generally involves hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis. Mainly thermophilic and mesophilic conditions are required for the anaerobic digestion process. For efficient process and stability in operational status, physiological parameters play immense role. The goal of given review is to produce biofuels by using various animal dungs for human welfare with respect to anaerobic digestion of food waste.
