Highly wavy grained wood of Red Sanders fetches fabulous prices in the export market, particularly Japan. While the straight grained or normal grained is sold at a very cheap rate. Hence, to increase the frequency of highly wavy grained trees it is necessary to multiply them for large scale plantations, directly or indirectly. A method has been suggested to identify the highly wavy grained plants at nursery stage.- Use of Coppice Shoots in Seed Production Areas of Teak : a New Concept

Creation of seed production areas is an important step in the Tree Improvement Programme for the interim supply of superior seed for afforestation till the seed orchards become fully productive. In Teak seed production areas the production of seed is not only insufficient but its collection is also difficult and expensive. Hence a new approach has been suggested, keeping in view the excellent coppicing capacity of Teak, for higher production of seed per tree and making the collection easier and cheaper.- Effect of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Grafting and Budding of Teak (Tectona grandis Linn.

Cleft grafting and Patch budding are highly successful methods for clonal propagation of Teak provided that work is carried out at 21.3° - 26.3°C temperature and 45.5 -62 per cent relative humidity. Cleft grafting is less economical method in terms of time, material and work as compared to patch budding which is far more easier and cheaper technique. The work is generally carried out in open field condition and for Dehra Dun, April and May were found most suitable period to obtain the maximum success. The percentage of success can be increased by the use of greenhouse or Mist chamber.- Macropropagation in Forestry Species

With growing trends towards more and more plantation forestry and genetic improvement of economic forest trees, it has become necessary to develop quick and economic methods of producing planting material. In teak macropropagation by cleft grafting, budding and branch cutting has been successfully employed for establishing clones of desired quality. Almost 80 to 100 per cent success was obtained in case of cleft grafting and bud grafting however, maximum 60 per cent success was recorded by ischolar_maining of branch cuttings. The other methods of propagation like air layering etc. were not successful in this species.- Fruit/Seed Setting in Teak (Tectona grandis L.F) : a Point to Ponder

Teak is the most important timber species of the Indian sub-continent and one of the most important of the world. With the ever increasing demand of more and more wood of superior quality it has become the need of paramount nature to produce superior seed for better and always increasing plantation targets. As seed production is much below the expectations the reasons for the same have been given along with some very interesting observations.- Variation Studies in the Model Teak Seed Orchard, New Forest, Dehra Dun

In forest tree species like Teak, to save time, work on selection of plus trees, establishment of grem plasm banks and creation of seed orchard has to be taken up simultaneously. Genotypic differences, for various parameters, between clones assembled in a first cycle seed orchard create lot of problems and as a consequence seed production is much less than expected. Experiences gained from the model seed orchard of Teak at New Forest, Dehra Dun-first ever seed orcbard in the country - have been presented in this paper to provide information on the performance of various clones to serve as guiding factors for the creation of second cycle seed orchards.- Crotalaria psoralioides - a New Record for North-west Himalaya

Characterlstic branchy hablt of cotyledons was observed in seedlings of Pinus wallichiana AB Jacks, a first ever record in tbe Himalayan pine and probably in conifers. Differences between these normal cotyledons wlth ultrastructure studies are highlighted. Also the abnormal seedlings, recovered during germination studies of the seeds obtained from open pollination, are reported under specific beads as 'lethats' and non-lethats'. The present paper reports tbe appearance of abnormal seedlings and discusses probable explanation for their appearance under various experiments. The need of c1assifying these abnormal seedlings is advocated so that uniform terminology can be adopted to ensure tbe morbid types recovend for understanding the reflection of genetic structure of the population.- Teak Plus Trees for Specific Traits

Sandal(Santalum album) can be propagated vegetatively with considerable case. Of the various method described so far vegetative propagation by ischolar_main cuttings under report is easy to perform and results in fair amount of success(i.e. upto 60%). The application of Seradix B2 was advantageous and time of planting also seemed to have some influence, i.e. response from cuttings planted in the first week of April was the best as compared to those planted in May. An interesting feature was the emergence of ischolar_mains from the base of one stem which indicates the possibility of mound layering and ischolar_main krafting also. The minimum time taken for sprouting was recorde as 23 days and for ischolar_main development less than 100 days.- Evaluation of Budding and Field Planting Periods for Teak Seed Orchard Establishment

The present study provides valuable information about the optimum time of budding and out planting of the prebudded stumps in field, under local condition, that is March and July respectively. The statistical approach of recommending the findings minimises the chances of arriving at deviated result at different places of the country. The study is indespensable to all who are engaged in tasks of Teak Seed Orchard establishment for necessary guidance.- Somatic Multiplication in Eucalyptus camaldulensis Through Leafy Cuttings

Wood samples extracted at breast height from 7 wavy-grained and 3 normal grained trees in red sanders were examined for possible variation in fibre morphology from pith to periphery. The data obtained was analysed by an analysis of variance using the mean values and grouping the trees into two groups of wavy and non-wavy, into three groups of highly wavy, medium wavy and non-wavy and finally without any grouping. The mean value of lumen diameter appeared to be larger in the wavy grained trees as compared to that from normal grained trees and difference between the mean values was found to be very highly significant. This is likely to be a useful character for screening the saplings if it is confirmed after an examination of a larger number of trees.- Studies on Field Grafting and the Growth of the Grafts in Red Sanders

Grafts were successfully established in Red Sanders using cleft grafting method. The scions used were from 15 wavy grained trees showing different grades of waviness. The grafting work carried out in the month of March over two years gave an overall higher establishment as compared to that done in the month of February during three years. Comparison of rate of annual growth increment in the grafts showed that there was no significant difference between the clones in this character.- Effect on the Earthquake of April 1905 in Fatehpur Range Kumaun Forest Division' Central Circle

In the genetic improvement of forest trees vegetative propagation methods particularly grafting, assume great importance in that it enables the tree breeder to assemble the select clones in the seed orchard. In teak, grafting and budding trials were carried out in the field to find out the time when the 'take' would be the highest and also to assess the relative merits of the two methods. During the months of April and May in Dehra Dun, the 'take' in budding and grafting was observed to be very high. Both these methods are recommended for use in the establishment of seed orchards in teak.- Study of Landslide Hazard Zonation in Mandakini Valley, Rudraprayag District, Uttarakhand Using Remote Sensing and GIS

The Mandakini Valley of Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand witnessed unprecedented damage to life, property, infrastructure and landscape on 16 and 17 June 2013 due to torrential rains. Run-off discharge data indicate that antecedent rainfall exceeded the limit and the overflow of rivers led to landslide in the region and flash floods in the downstream areas. Fragile geology of the area, close to Main Central Thrust (MCT), degradation processes and torrential rains are responsible for triggering landslides and flash floods. A landslide inventory was carried out in the affected areas based on pre- and post-flood high resolution satellite data (LISS-IV and Cartosat-2). A total of 290 landslides were identified from pre-flood satellite LISS IV (2011) imagery and 1665 were identified in post-flood satellite imagery along major rivers. Using remote sensing and geographic information system techniques, thematic layers were generated. Using the weightage rating system, a landslide hazard zonation map of the area was prepared. Each class within a thematic layer was assigned an ordinal rating from 1 to 9. Summation of these attribute values was then multiplied by the corresponding weights to yield different zones of landslide hazard. A landslide hazard zonation map having five different zones ranging from very low hazard zone to very high hazard zone was prepared with the objective to create a reliable database for post-disaster management and for planning developmental activities in the district.Keywords
