An attempt was made to find out the possibilities of successfully utilizing air and ground layering either with or without the aid of plant growth regulators, as the means of propagation of D. floribunda. The application of NAA in 100 ppm concentration was found to be most effective, in which 90.0% and 80.0% of the treated nodes ischolar_mained in case of air and ground layering, respectively. The time taken for the initiation of ischolar_mains with this treatment was least. The formation of shoots with 100 ppm NAA treatment was 70.0% and 44.0% of the total layers in case of air and layering, respectively.- Survey and Biological Activity of Economic Plants of Kheri Forests, Uttar Pradesh

A study of blossom biology was carried out in two selections, i.e., JRL-28 and JRL-12, of S. khasianum. The development of flowers after the emergence of buds required 20 and 25 days, and blooming period were 120 and 150 days in case of JRL-28 and JRL-12, respectively. The duration of flowering was recorded to be 100 days. The anthesis occurred between 5.00 A.M. And 8.30 A.M., and the flowers fully opened between 7.30 A. M. and 9.45 A. M. The pollen grains were 25.2 - 29.4 μ and 25.2 - 33.6 μ in size, having 95.67% - 97.21% and 91.16% - 96.16% viability in JRL-28 and JRL-12, respectively. The stigma were most receptive at the time of anthesis.Full Text

Indian Forester, Vol 137, No 1 (2011), Pagination: 99-104Abstract
Bamboos suffer from low shelf life because of attacks by fungi or insects mainly insect borers or termites. Traditionally, freshly cut bamboo poles were dipped in flowing water to remove starch, which attracts insects and pests or coating with oils or paint and even coal tar. The chemical method includes dipping in Cu SO4, Boric acid, Borax and Sodium pentachlorophenate solution to be used either singly or in combination. However, forcing out the sap under pressure and replacing with chemicals such as Copper- Chroma - Boric acid is a better method for enhanced shelf life. For small pieces, a treatment with hot and cold solutions of urea and Boric acid for varying periods has also been found quite useful.Keywords

Association between yield of fruits and its components, i.e., number of fruits/plant, weight/fruit and size of fruits, as well as between the components themselves was studied in Solanum khasianum Clarke. All the correlation coefficients were found to be positive and significant, highest (+ 0.72) being between number of fruits/plant and yield of fruits. The values of coefficients of determination indicated that the maximum variability in the yield of fruits was caused by number of fruits/plant (51.84%) followed by weight/fruit (32.49%) and size of fruits (21.62%). Regression equations were calculated and regression Hues were drawn.- A Clinico-Pathological Study of Leucorrhoea

Background: Over all, India reported 418 accidental deaths a day in 2009 an increased by 7.3 % compared to 2008 as per National Crime Records Bureau's annual report of deaths and suicides across the country. Objective: To assesstime taken from accident to discharge from the hospital. Study Design: Cross sectional Setting: Indoor Orthopedic and ward of a tertiary hospital. Sample Size: Thirty patients of both sexes of the fracture of lower femur (supracondyler and intercondyler) admitted in a tertiary hospital. Statistical Analysis: Simple proportion. Findings: 36.66% of patients were operated on or before five days of accident, only 13.33% patients were operated after two weeks this may because of the associated injury or medical complications like diabetes and/or hypertension, 50% of the patients discharge from the hospital on or before seven days of the operation, only 6.7% patients took more than 35 days in their discharge. Conclusion: there is an urgent need to conduct Continuous Medical Education (C.M.E) all concerned on "rational use of drugs "to put a full stop on development of resistance against the drugs otherwise patients have to suffer a lot and the treatment will be beyond the reach of the most of the patients which ultimately harm all concerned irrespective of caste, creed, colour, religion, profession rich or poor.Keywords

The carbonate members of the Bijawar series (Precambrian) which are faulted against the Bundelkhand granites, show copper mineralisation at several localities between Sonrai and Tori. The ore bodies are highly oxidised and are chiefly localised along the fault and shear zones. Both primary and secondary wall rock alterations have been observed. Chalcocite, cuprite and malachite are the main copper ore minerals, with minor amounts of covellite, tenorite and chalcopyrite. Goethite along with malachite forms the conspicuous mineralogical guide for prospecting on the surface. The present surface studies indicate that the copper mineralisation is epigenetic and suffered deep oxidation along weak zones. The possibility of supergene sulphide enrichment is poor due to presence of reactive carbonate wall rork.- Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Some Underutilized Wild Edible Fruits of the Sikkim Himalaya

In the present study, nine potential wild edible fruits viz., Elaeagnus latifoila, Diploknema butyracea, Eriolobus indica, Spondias axillaris, Machilus edulis, Baccaurea sapida, Ficus hookeri, Elaeocarpus Sikkimensis and Cyphomandra betacea were investigated for antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenolic contents (TPC) and free radical scavenging activities (FRSA). Among different fruits analyzed, Spondias axillaris extract was found to possess the highest antioxidant activity (73.9%) and total phenolic content (69.4 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract). Spondias axillaris extract also showed best free radical scavenging activity in terms of IC50 value (inhibitory concentration); EC50 (efficiency concentration; mg/mg DPPH); ARP (anti radical power) and reducing power (ASE/ml). The study thus signifies the potential of Spondias axillaris as a source of antioxidant compounds.Keywords

Snow depth is an important parameter for avalanche forecast and hydrological studies. In the Himalaya, manual snow depth data collection is difficult due to remote and rugged terrain and the severe weather conditions. However, microwave-based sensors in various satellites have the capability to estimate snow depth in all weather conditions. In the present study, experiments were performed to establish an algorithm for snow depth estimation using ground-based passive microwave radiometer with 6.9, 18.7 and 37 GHz antenna frequencies at Dhundhi and Patseo, Himachal Pradesh, India. Different layers in the snowpack were identified and layer properties, i.e. thickness, density, moisture content, etc. were measured manually and using a snow fork. Brightness temperature (TB) of the entire snowpack and of the individual snow layers was measured using passive microwave radiometer. It was observed that TB of the snow is affected by various snow properties such as depth, density, physical temperature and wetness. A decrease in TB with increase in snow depth was observed for all types of snow. TB of the snowpack was observed higher at Dhundhi in comparison to Patseo. Based on the measured radiometer data, snow depth algorithms were developed for the Greater Himalaya and Pir-Panjal ranges. These algorithms were validated with ground measurements for snow depth at different observatory locations and a good agreement between the two was observed (absolute error: 7 to 39 cm; correlation: 0.95).Keywords

The CERES (crop estimation through resource and Environment Synthesis)-rice model incorporated in DSSAT version 4.5 was calibrated for genetic coefficients of rice cultivars by conducting field experiments during the kharif season at Jorhat, Kalyani, Ranchi and Bhagalpur, the results of which were used to estimate the gap in rice yield. The trend of potential yield was found to be positive and with a rate of change of 26, 36.9, 57.6 and 3.7 kg ha-1 year-1 at Jorhat, Kalyani, Ranchi and Bhagalpur districts respectively. Delayed sowing in these districts resulted in a decrease in rice yield to the tune of 35.3, 1.9, 48.6 and 17.1 kg ha-1 day-1 respectively. Finding reveals that DSSAT crop simulation model is an effective tool for decision support system. Estimation of yield gap based on the past crop data and subsequent adjustment of appropriate sowing window may help to obtain the potential yields.Keywords

Climate change is projected to alter the growing conditions of rice crop in different regions of India. Crop growth simulation model (DSSATv4.6) was calibrated and evaluated with four rice cultivars: PR 118 in Amritsar, Ludhiana; HKR 126 in Hisar and Ambala; Pant 4 in Kanpur and Sugandha-1126 in Modipuram on different sowing dates. The average yield of the selected optimum dates was 6391, 6531, 7751, 7561, 4347 and 4131 kg/ha for Amritsar, Ludhiana, Hisar, Ambala, Modipuram and Kanpur respectively. Both temperature and CO2 have increased. The combined effect of temperature and CO2 indicates decreased yield rate in the future decades. The present study shows that rice yield will decrease in the future and this may be due to increase in temperature. According to projection results, for all the locations average yield is higher in the decade 2010, except Amritsar in the decade 2030 and Ludhiana in the decade 2050. The average yield at Hisar, Ambala, Modipuram and Kanpur in 2010 was 7744, 7654, 4347 and 4021 kg/ha respectively. Amritsar and Ludhiana showed maximum average yield of 6880 and 6877 kg/ha respectively, in the decade 2030. Such yield reductions in rice crops due to climate change are mediated through reduction in crop duration, grain number and grain filling duration. These projections nevertheless provide a direction of likely change in crop productivity in future climate change scenarios.Keywords

In this study an airborne ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used to estimate spatial distribution of snow accumulation in the Samudra Tapu glacier (the Great Himalayan Range), Western Himalaya, India. An impulse radar system with 350 MHz antenna was mounted on a helicopter for the estimation of snow depth. The dielectric properties of snow were measured at a representative site (Patseo Observatory) using a snow fork to calibrate GPR data. The snow depths estimated from GPR signal were found to be in good agreement with those measured on ground with an absolute error of 0.04 m. The GPR survey was conducted over Samudra Tapu glacier in March 2009 and 2010. A kriging-based geostatistical interpolation method was used to generate a spatial snow accumulation map of the glacier with the GPR-collected data. The average accumulated snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) for a part of the glacier were found to be 2.23 m and 0.624 m for 2009 and 2.06 m and 0.496 m for 2010 respectively. Further, the snow accumulation data were analysed with various topographical parameters such as altitude, aspect and slope. The accumulated snow depth showed good correlation with altitude, having correlation coefficient varying between 0.57 and 0.84 for different parts of the glacier. Higher snow accumulation was observed in the north- and east-facing regions, and decrease in snow accumulation was found with an increase in the slope of the glacier. Thus, in this study we generate snow accumulation/SWE information using airborne GPR in the Himalayan terrain.Keywords

The CERES-wheat crop growth simulation model has been calibrated and evaluated for two wheat cultivars (PBW 343 and PBW 542) for three sowing dates (30 October, 15 November and 30 November) during 2008-09 and 2009-10 to study partitioning of leaf, stem and grains at Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The experimental data and simulated model data were analysed on partitioning of leaf, stem and grains, and validated. It was found that the model closely simulated the field data from phenological events and biomass. Simulated biological and grain yield was in accordance with-field experiment crop yield within the acceptable range. The correlation coefficient between field-experiment and simulated yield data and biomass data varied significantly from 0.81 and 0.96. The model showed overestimation from field-experimental yield for both cultivars. The cultivar PBW 343 gave higher yield than cultivar PBW 542 on 15 November during both years. The model performance was evaluated and it was found that CERES-wheat model could predict growth parameters like days to anthesis and maturity, biomass and yield with reasonably good accuracy (error less than 8%) and also correlation coefficient between field-experimental and simulated yield data and biomass data varied from 0.94 and 0.95. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between simulated and districts yield varied from 0.41 to 0.78 and also significantly at all six selected districts. The results may be used to improve and evaluate the current practices of crop management at different growth stages of the crop to achieve better production potential.Keywords

The study was carried out during Kharif, Rabi seasons in NICRA villages of Hamirpur and Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh during 2014-15. All 255 demonstrations on pigeonpea, black gram, green gram, chick pea, fieldpea and lentil were carried out in area of 53.4 ha by the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the improved technologies of pulses production potential. The improved technologies consisting use of high yielding variety, seed inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB culture, integrated nutrient and pest management. FLD recorded higher yield as compared to farmer’s local practice. The demonstrated technology recorded higher yield of 1160 kg/ha, 950 kg/ha, 820 kg/ha, 790 kg/ha,700 kg/ha and 350 kg/ha in chick pea, field pea, lentil, black gram, pigeonpea and green gram, respectively than 620, 530, 460, 450 , 420 and 230 kg/ha. Despite of yield increase the technological gap, extension gap and technology index were observed. The results indicated that improved technology gave higher gross return, net return with higher benefit cost ratio as compared to farmer’s practices.Keywords

In the present study we estimate the velocity and thickness of the Patseo glacier, Himachal Pradesh, India. The average velocity of the glacier was estimated as ~5.47 m/year using co-registration of optically sensed images and correlation (COSI-Corr) method. The glacier thickness was found to vary between 12 and 278 m, with an average value 59 m. The total glacier ice volume was estimated as ~15.8 × 107 m3, with equivalent water reservoir of ~14.5 × 107 m3. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were conducted during 2004 and 2013 for validation of the estimated glacier thickness. The glacier thickness estimated using COSI-Corr method was found to be in agreement with GPR-retrieved glacier thickness (RMSE = 4.75 m; MAE = 3.74 m). The GPR profiles collected along the same geographic locations on the glacier during 2004 and 2013 showed a reduction in ice thickness of ~1.89 m, and thus resulting in an annual ice thickness decrease of ~0.21 m. The glacier area was estimated for 2004 and 2013 using LISS IV satellite data and found to be ~2.52 and ~2.30 sq. km respectively. This shows an annual reduction of ~0.024 sq. km in glacier area. The total annual loss in glacier ice volume was estimated as ~4.55 × 105 m3. This loss in the glacier ice volume of the Patseo glacier is supported by the snow and meteorological observations collected at a nearby field observatory of Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE). The climate data collected at SASE meteorological observatory at Patseo (3800 m), between 1993–94 and 2014–15 showed an increasing trend in the mean annual temperature and a decreasing trend in winter precipitation.Keywords

Cotton is a major cash crop of global significance. It has a peculiar and inherent growth pattern with coinciding physiological growth stages. This study is based upon modelling and simulation for Hisar region. Stage-wise water stress has been quantified for three Bt-cotton cultivars with three sowing dates under both irrigated and non-irrigated (rainfed) conditions to assess the most sensitive stage. As per model output, it was observed that, at some stages stress value during excess years remains below 0.3 which is characterized as mild stress, in contrast with drought years where it is above 0.3, impacting potential crop productivity. Thus, rainfall impacts the productivity of cotton even in irrigated semi-arid region. Irrigation measures practiced, could partially alleviate influence of stress. Also, early sowing is found beneficial. The most water-sensitive period is ball formation and maturity stage followed by flowering stage.Keywords

Determining minimum energy consumption per capita to support high development is a crucial activity for energy planners and policy makers working within resource, environmental and budgetary constraints. A composite metric like the human development index (HDI) of a nation is positively correlated with its energy consumption. The present study focuses on the estimation of minimum energy requirement for India to attain net-zero and a HDI value of 0.9 by 2070. The final energy requirement is found to be about 18,900–22,300 TWh/yr, indicating more than three-fold rise from the current consumption. About 30–40% of the final energy may be consumed in the form of hydrogen, whereas the rest will be used directly as electricity. Rapid infrastructure creation for high development and extensive digitalization may require additional 4400–4800 TWh/yr in the initial phases of rapid growth.Keywords

The MACE telescope has recently been commissioned at Hanle, Ladakh, India. It had its first light in April 2021 with a successful detection of very high energy gamma-ray photons from the standard candle Crab Nebula. Equipped with a large light collector of 21 m diameter and situated at an altitude of ~4.3 km amsl, the MACE telescope is expected to explore the mysteries of the non-thermal Universe in the energy range above 20 GeV with very high sensitivity. It can also play an important role in carrying out multi-messenger astronomy in India.Keywords
