The present paper deals with the height and diameter growth in young plantations of the three native tree species (Albizia lebbek, Albizia procera, Tectona grandis) planted on mine spoil situated in tbe eastern section of Jayant Block of Singrauli coalfield in Madhya Pradesh, India. Highest survival rate was observed in the case of A. procera and the lowest in the case of T. grandis. Maximum specific height growth rate and specific diameter growth rate was exhibited by T. grandis whereas A.lebbek registered the minimum specific rate of increase in height and diameter. Aalysis of mean specific growth rates both for height and diameter indicated a decline with age in all the three species. However, the decline in the specific height and diameter growth rate of T. grandis was faster than in A. lebbek and A. procera.- Nursery Diseases of Dipterocarpus retusus

Dipterocarpus retusus is widely used in the manufacturing of plywood in North-eastern region of the country. The species suffers heavily from a variety of diseases caused mainly by fungal pathogens in the nursery. During the period of 1995 to 2000, various diseases such as damping-opp, ischolar_main rot, shoot blight and foliar diseases were recorded at different nurseries. The causal organisms, disease symptoms, incidence periods and the extent of damage were studied in detail. These are described here for the first time. Prophylactic management of these nursery diseases is warranted.- Nursery Diseases of Dipterocarpus retusus

Plantation of Dendrocalamus strictus was raised on coal mine spoil at Jayant project, NCL, Singrauli in June 1993. Half and full dose of NPK fertilizer was applied. Full dose of NPK fertilizer was nitrogen as urea (60 kg ha-1), phosphorus as single superphosphate (30 kg ha-1) and potash as muriate of potash (40 kg ha-1). Half dose of NPK treatment increased the height growth more whereas full dose of NPK treatment enhanced markedly the number of culms/clump and diameter growth of D. strictus.- Evaluation of Direct Seeding of Tree Species as a Means of Revegetation of Coal Mine Spoils

Indian Forester, Vol 126, No 11 (2000), Pagination: 1217-1221Abstract
The feasibility of direct seeding of tree species as a means of revegetating the flat (l.5 ha) and slopy areas (8 ha) of coal mine spoils was tested at Jayant Project, Northern Coal Fields Ltd., Singrauli. Direct seeding of tree species for 3-4 years with seeding of grasses and leguminous forbs is a potentially suitable technique for quick stabilization of flat and slopy areas of coal mine spoils. This technique is also beneficial in increasing the rate of recruitment of naturally colonizing plant species on mine spoils, which will ultimately restore the biodiversity and soil fertility of mine spoils, and will check the soil erosion from mine spoils.- Strategies for the Management of Craspedonta leayana (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae) in Gmelina arborea

Gmelina arborea (Roxb.) has gained widespread acceptance as a plantation species worldwide due to its rapid growth and multiplicity of uses in pulp and fiber production, besides an excellent saw timber has number of promising attributes. The strategy for addressing a major drawback for its susceptibility to Craspedonta leayana (Latreille) in native areas has been discussed. This includes mass multiplication and application of parasitoid Brachymeria excarinata, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhzium anisopliae. The screening of resistant germplasm for Craspedonta leayana was found to be an effective long term strategy.- Planting Stock Improvement in Gmelina arborea

The planting stock of Gmelina arborea was improved through 'Technology Mission - Gmelina arborea'. The mission incorporated various techniques of genetics, breeding, clonal propagation, nursery, physiology, phenology, entomology and pathology. A total of 119 plus tree selected from 10 geographical locations were selected and multiplied through clonal means, and established in the vegetative multiplication gardens cum germplasm banks. The passports for plus tree was developed that provided information on different aspects including species, accession, geography, silviculture and technical information. The vegetative propagation protocols both for adult and juvenile materials were standardized using budding, grafting and ischolar_maining of branch cuttings. The clonal and progeny trials were carried out to test the stability, adaptability and growth performance of selected germplasm. The seedling and clonal seed orchards were established in the states of Assam, Manipur and Tripura to meet immediate supply of the improved seed. Various clones were screened for resistance against Craspedonta leayana which is a serious defoliator of G. arborea. Eight per cent of the clones exhibited higher resistance while 26 per cent of the clones showed moderate resistance. The seed treatment with fungicide Captaf was found to be most effective in managing seed and seedling fungal pathogens- Tree Canopy Development in Young Plantations Raised on Coalmine Spoil Affects the Growth of Herbaceous Vegetation

Pennisetum pedicellatum and Heteropogon contortus grasses were seeded in tree plantation plots on coal mine spoils at Jayant Project, NCL, Singrauli. After three year of raising of plantations the tree canopies affected the growth of seeded grasses. The dense canopy of D. strictus, P. pinnata and L. leucocephala completely eliminated the seeded grasses H. contortus and P. pedicellatum. Under the dense canopy for G. arborea only H. contortus grows well whereas P. pedicellatum was eliminated. Thus to increase the herbaceous plant biodiversity and for the establishment of stable plant communities thinning of plantation plots after 3-4 years is essential, and H. contortus should be preferred in ground seeding compared to P. pedicellatum.- Soil Quality Monitoring of the Barren Sodic Farmer's Fields after Reclamation in the Alluvial Plains of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India

With a view to study the vegetation and flora of the tarai forests and grasslands of the Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh, bordering upon the tracts of forests in the Nepalese territory, three seasonal tours undertaken in this forest division in March and November, 1964 by the Senior author (G. Panigrahi) and in February, 1965 by O. P. Misra, yielded 530 species of Angiosperms and 14 species of Pteridophytes as represented by 1076 field numbers of plants. (Wherever the name of the Collector is not given between the locality and the field no. in the enumeration appended to this paper, "PANIGRAHI" may be cited).
The paper presents an outline of the three classes of forest types viz. Sal, Miscellaneous and Grass and an analysis of the floristic composition in the Katarniaghat-Dharmanpur-Motipur-Doba-Chakia-Chardha and Bhinga forests which are isolated blocks separated by 8-16 km by intervening tracts of cultivation and grazing grounds, except the forests of Dhramanpur and Motipur, which adjoin.
The Sal forests are divided into Moist (Gangetic) High level alluvial, dry (Gangetic) alluvial, moist (Gangetic) low level alluvial, dry (Gangetic) alluvial subtypes; the Miscellaneous forests are subdivided into North-Indian Moist Teminalia, Cane brakes, tropical valley fresh water swamp, Khair-babul, Khair-sissoo, North dry-mixed deciduous, Aegle and Gangetic saline scrub; the Grasslands belonging to the lower alluvial moist savannah type and extending over about 37,000 acres, represent the largest of the forest sub-types, discussed below.
It has been established that the richness of the grass in the savannah, is not due to the large of different species in the area, but due to the distribution of some species over more stable riverain flats, which are subject to occasional floods and are locally known as PHANTAS.
