Abstract

During 2006 Parthenium hysterophorus L. plant material was collected from the Agricultural Research Farm, B.H.U. during the rainy and winter season, to investigate changes in content of the some biochemical compounds in different plant parts (root, stem and leaf). High content of both protein and starch was recorded in leaves in both seasons. The content of reducing sugars and carbohydrates were higher during rainy season in all parts of Parthenium as compared to the winter season, while non- reducing sugars were highest in leaf material during the rainy season as compare to winter season.
