Spatial variability of surface soil pH and organic carbon was studied in perpendicular transects at sites in near Jabalpur (M.P.) put to bamboo based agroforestry models and compared to control for two continuous years. The land under present study was degraded and occurs in a continuous path. Though, there was no systematic pattern of variation of values of pH and organic carbon in different directions, there was slightly less variability in North-South direction as compared to East-West direction. Overall, heterogeneity was found to be more in the first year than second year (i.e two seasons of agro-forestry land use). Shrubs and herbs invaded through bamboo based agroforestry practices in the degraded sites form the center of influence from which soil properties vary spatially.

The phyto-sociological aspects of the highly degraded basaltic tract of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh were studied to assess the impact of Agro-forestry models of Bamboo cultivation with the short term agricultural crops on the restoration of ecology. The ground flora was recorded at four Agro-forestry sites with a control in October, 1996 and 1997. The results obtained from the study revealed that there was considerable increase in number of species, diversity index and species richness as compared to control in both the years. The increase was more conspicuous in the second year. Poaceae was found to be the dominant family on all the sites. Reduction in number of species at the control site has been attributed to the heavy biotic interference. The ecological parameters studied revealed that the degraded agricultural lands can be ecological restored and improved fast through the development of Bamboo based Agro-forestry models.- Effect of VAM on Growth and Development of Bamboos Planted under Agroforestry System

The growth performance of three bamboo species namely Bambusa bambos, Dendrocalamus strictus and Bambusa nutans was studied in four sites of agricultural fields. The sites II and III were more or less same in soil texture and nutrient status. The species of bamboo were inoculated with VAM fungi including Glomus mosseae, G. intraratices, Gigaspora species and Acaulospora species. The suitable control was maintained without VAM inoculation. Comparatively the response of VAM inoculation was better in site I. Bambusa bambos showed significant difference in the length of leading shoots compared with other two species of bamboo. Similarly the per cent infection was more in bamboo species planted in sites I, II and III. The spore population did not exhibit any significant variation in bamboo species inoculated and uninoculated (control) with VAM fungi.- Economic Study of Bansods (Bamboo Craftsmen) of Mungeli : a Case Study

Bansods (Bamboo Craftsmen) depend on bamboos as raw materials for their livelihood. This case study has been done in the Mungeli town in Bilaspur District of Madhya Pradesh. Availability of bamboos is very poor and Bansods earn only between Rs. 17.50 and Rs. 25/- per day. There is an emergent need to develop bamboo availability prospects. proper marketing channel and form cooperative societies to enable the Bansods to earn higher profits and better production opportunities.Full Text
