Indian Forester, Vol 136, No 7 (2010), Pagination: 959-971Abstract
India has the largest share (44%) of teak plantations but the average recorded productivity of India's forest is 0.5 cum/ha/yr as compared to the world average of 2.5 cum/ha/yr while the potential productivity of Indian Forest is estimated as 11.5 cum/ha/yr. Significant developments have taken place in standardizing plantation techniques, perfecting harvesting and post harvest utilization methods and tree improvement. Plantation technology, silvicultural practices, disease and pest management, tree improvement, genetic improvements and protection etc. plays an important role in enhancing the forest productivity. Silvicultural practices like site selection, spacing, thinning methods, rotation age and harvesting have been refined, yet the productivity of plantations is low. Recent studies conducted on teak growing with irrigation, fertilizer application and management revealed the possibility of reducing the rotation to 25-30 years period with increase in productivity as against the dry teak plantations.Keywords

Food Security Bill (FSB) is considereda boon for Indian people who live with meager income, starve and hunger. Farmersare means for Right to Food as producer of food grains, maintenance stock of food grains in granaries, for Public Distribution System (PDS). This article attempts to provide some facts regarding FSB. Indian agriculture revolves more or less on monsoon and catastrophic conditions with risk of natural hazards. Crop insurance is an avenue for the FSB to curtail risk of Indian agriculture to sustain yield. The authors depend on some research papers and other literature surveyed to the nature of Indian Agriculture, its indemnification and challenges to the FSB, further, to learn about the role and extent of the crop insurance in India. The paper aims at providing suggestions and remedies to curbs the challenges to the FSB and its better application through crop insurance.Keywords

Background: This paper discusses about the planning commission and its scrap. It attempts some facts, aspects of planning commission of India for that firstly, it discusses about the role, and its achievements; secondly, it identifies the challenges, and finally it identifies the relationships of planned and actual growth of economy.
Method: The study conducted through the secondary data of publications and reports of planning commission. Researcher compare planned growth rate with actual growth rate for reveals gaps. Chi-square test and Pearson correlation (2-tailed) has used for the data analysis.
Results: From the analysis, planning commission mustered failure in each plan to estimate growth rate of economy. Policymakers have failed to figure growth rate and control actual growth with their planned rate. Many factors and aspects influenced its functioning. The study also relates expected growth rate with the actual rate of GDP in five years plans.
Conclusion: Present planning commission and its functioning are not helpful in economic and structural development of nation. In this view, this paper spins hope of people with new commission, challenges ahead and suggests some remedies&ideas for setting-up a new institution for planning.

Objectives: Consumption as a whole in an economy is a function of income. In other words the household aggregate consumption in an economy largely depends on its Income. This study examines basically the consumption pattern at rural and urban level in BRICS nations. Methodology and Analysis: The study also evaluates the influence and relationship of macroeconomic variables on rural and urban consumption. For the purpose of the study, World Development Indicators (WDI) data from World Bank is used. The time series data of BRICS nations for a period from 1991-2014, on rural and urban consumption, and its relationship with variables like, Gross National Income (GNI), Industrial Production Rate (IPR), and Inflation Rate (IR), Bank Credit (BC), Bank Lending Interest Rate (BLIR) are analysed using Multiple Regression model and Co-integration analysis. Findings: From the above analysis it may be observed that there is divergence in the rural and urban household final consumption in BRICS nations before and after becoming as a group. There exists inequality in the influence of macroeconomic variables and their relationship between BRICS nations. Applications/Improvements: The analysis gives scope for further study of consumption pattern in other regions and can be improved by adding other influencing variables.Keywords

The study was laidout during Rabi season of 1994-95 and 1995-96 at Student’s Instructional Farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam, having low fertility status. Five cropping systems i.e., Indian mustard sole, Indian mustard + lentil, Indian mustard without lentil at same distance, Indian mustard + French bean and Indian mustard without French bean at same distance were tested under three levels of phosphorus (control, 30 kg P2O5/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha). The highest yield of Indian mustard by 24.04 q/ha was harvested under treatment of Indian mustard sole. In associated cropping system of lentil and French bean, Indian mustard yielded by 11.72 q/ha and 15.52 q/ha seed yield, respectively. The yield of Indian mustard was obtained 16.95 q/ha at 30 kg P2O5/ha closely followed by 60 kg P2O5/ha (16.45 q/ha). The growth and yield traits of Indian mustard were concordant to the yields obtained from Indian mustard under different cropping systems and levels of phosphorus. The yield of intercropped lentil and French bean were harvested by 6.69 q/ha and 12.02 q/ha, respectively. Both inter crops provided more grain yield upto highest tested dose of 60 kg P2O5/ha closely followed by 80 kg P2O5/ha. The growth and yield attributes of both crops were commensurable to the yields obtained from lentil and French bean under cropping systems with Indian mustard and levels of phosphorus application.Keywords

The adaptive trial was laidout during 2002-2003 at dry eco-system of Jalaun district of Bundelkhand. The soil of pilot area was Kabar, having low fertility status especially in organic matter. The improved genotypes KWR-108, KGD-1168 and Pusa-256 was tested with local check Radhey in adaptive trial. The cultivars planted in the first fortnight of November and harvested in the end of March after 140 days of seeding. The cultivar Pusa-256 gave highest average grain yield of chickpea by 15.50 q/ha. The local check Radhey, KWR-108 and KGD-1168 gave lowest yield by a margin of 2.25 q/ha, 1.00 q/ha and 1.00 q/ha, respectively, in comparison to cv. PUSA-256. The growth and yield traits recorded under test genotypes, supported to the grain yield of chickpea.Keywords

The burgeoning shortage of freshwater resources coerced Indian farmers to use poor-quality water for crop production in order to meet the growing and diversified food demands. Such conditions are likely to become more alarming in the future. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to identify the ideal crop combinations and agronomic practices which might give good yield under stressed conditions. An on-field experiment was conducted for two years to determine the suitable combinations of organic manure (farmyard manure @ 10 t/ha, vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha and biogas slurry @ 2.5 t/ha), chemical fertilizers (75%, 100% and 125% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF)) and microbial inoculants (Azotobacter chroococcum and Biomix) for enhancing productivity of the pearl millet–wheat cropping system irrigated with saline water. A significant improvement in the yield of pearl millet and wheat crops was obtained by integrated application of nutrients compared with untreated control and RDF treatments. Furthermore, a decrease in soil EC and pH, and an increase in organic carbon were noticed. A marked improvement in the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium status in the soil and reduction in sodium content resulted as an outcome. The T10 combination (RDF + VC + Biomix) was found to be the most suitable for profitable production of pearl millet and wheat crops under saline conditions of northwestern India.Keywords
