Abstract

Tecomella undulata Sm.Seem. commonly called 'Marwar Teak' is an important and indigenous species of arid zone. It is worth for making best quality furniture. The association of VAM fungi occurs naturally in weeds , grasses , bushes and shrubs of this area. Tree species are also endomycorrhizal in nature. Symbiosis of VAM fungi plays an important role in arid areas , as soil of this region is poor in nutrients. maniPulation of seedlings with indigenous strains of VAM fungi is an important tool for successful afforestation programme. In the present paper , optimum dose of inoculum required for maximum VAM infection and biomass in seedlings of T. undulata has been discussed.

Abstract

Use of biofertilizer particularly VAM fungi has a great importance in forestry as it provides minerals, wide absorption area of ischolar_main zone, water uptake and tolerance to water stress conditions etc. Rajasthan covers about 61% of the geographical area of the total desert area of the country. In these harsh conditions, VAM fungi can play a significant role in survival of plants. In the present study some economically important tree species of Jaipur region namely Cordia myxa, Artocarpus integrifolia. Dalbergia sissoo, Pongamia pinnata, Mangifera indica and Alestronia sp. Were seleded for the study. VAM inoculated seedlings of above tree species performed better in term of shoot height, ischolar_main height, biomass and percentage of colonization. The shoot height inerease was maximum (32.2%) in A, integrifolia and minimum (11.2%) in Mangifera indica. The other parameters were also found better then uninoculateel plants.

Abstract

Prosopis cineraria was grown in a green house in a low phosphorus (4 mg kg^-1 Olsen's P) soil (Typic Camborthid) under arid environment inoculated with alone or mixed AM fungi either indigenous or from outside sources. Uptake of relatively immobile soil nutrients (P, Zn, Cu) as affected by different AM fungi was also studied. In general, significant and positive response of plant height, ischolar_main and shoot biomass, ischolar_main colonization and AM fungal population was observed in inoculated plants as compared to control. Inoculated plants had significantly higher P, Zn and Cu concentration as well as upto three times more total uptake. Mycorrhizal dependency to P. cineraria varied between 13.76 and 56.28%, which was more to Glomus aggregatum. In general, G. aggregatum was found to be the most efficient AM species for growth and nutrition of P. cineraria plant.

Abstract

Effect of three isolates from Neem Seed Kernel Powder (NSKP) was studied on the seeds of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Neem) collected from both viz., summer (stored at ambient and low temperature) and winter fruiting seasons. Significant effect of various extracts was noticed even at 0.2 per cent concentration. However, methanol and water soluble extracts showed better results than MeOH-water extract against spermoplane fungi of Neem seed.

Abstract

The present study envasis on the bioefficacy of Neem Seed Kernel Powder (NSKP), Karanj (Pongamia pinnata) Seed Kernel Powder (KSKP), Neem Leaf Powder (NLP) and Neem Seed Oil (NSO) against spermoplane mycoflora of Neem seeds. NSKP, KSKP and NLP were used dry and also in wet conditions. The seedS were pelleted for 5 minutes before plating. Results indicated that all the treatments were superior to the control. NSO was found to be the most effective of all the treatments. The bioefficacy of NSKP, KSKP and NLP was more effective when pelleted on wet seeds as compared to dry seeds. Neem seeds treated with NSO and NLP (on wet seeds) inhibited the growth of Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp. And Mucor sp. Completely.

Abstract

A checklist of birds of Periyar Tiger Reserve was prepared. Two hundred and fortynine species of birds are recorded in the reserve. Sixty species are new records for Periyar while 3 are new records for Kerala. The lesser number of wetland birds may be due the absence of marshes and shallow water areas in the Lake. Rarity of larger birds of prey may be due to their low population in nature or the agricultural practices in the surrounding areas. This study shows that Periyar has great potential for detailed orinithological research.

Abstract

The analysis of history of forestry education is documented to illustrate the evolutionary aspects of forestry education in this country. A keen review of challenges of forestry education with respect to demand of the forestry professionals and the continuing educational packages have revealed ever widening gap in terms of required knowledge and skills th vis-à-vis the actual course modules being followed. The intervention of 4^th Dean's Committee of Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR), New Delhi, is discussed to demonstrate the inadequacies of the course modules and impracticality of the proposals for reorganization of departments of forestry faculties. Cogent recommendations, based upon new perspectives of forestry education, aimed at mitigation of the mismatches between the existing forestry education system and national requirements of forestry professionals/ scientists and teachers are recorded to provide sound backup for better planning of the forestry education system in India.

Abstract

An evaluation of thirty two accessions of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss] was carried out during 2014-2015 in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications in Laboratory revealed highly significant differences among the accessions for all seed vigour traits. Observations were recorded on ten seed vigour traits viz.,1000-seed weight (g), field emergence (%), speed of germination (at field), germination, speed of germination, ischolar_main length (cm), shoot length (cm), seedling length (cm), seedling dry weight (mg) and vigour index. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the seed vigour traits. The phenotypic co-efficient of variability (PCV) ware close to genotypic co-efficient of variability (GCV) for more of the traits which indicate that environmental effect has no considerable effect on the total phenotypic variation. Heritability and genetic advance indicated that the nature action and reliability or those characters for selection and emerged as ideal traits for improvement through selection.

Abstract

Wheat attains unique position in agriculture and economy of our country because of being second most important food crop after rice. In the present investigation 72 Australian and Indian genotypes of bread wheat along with 3 checks viz., HD- 2329, DBW-17 and PBW-343 were evaluate during Rabi season, 2011-12. A very strong positive correlation of grain yield per plant at genotypic level was observed with 1000-seed weight, plant height, number of tillers per plant and days to 50 per cent flowering. Path co-efficient analysis, carried out at direct and indirect effects of different characters on seed yield per plant, identified plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering and number of spikelets per plant as major direct contributors towards seed yield per plant. 1000-seed weight, seedling length and number of tiller per plant emerged as most important indirect contributors to grain yield per plant.
