Collective forests creation technique can be successfully utilised in bringing non-forest areas for example village common lands etc. under tree cover by combining agriculture and forestry. This will result in development and eco-restoration of the rural areas. Wastelands can also be brought under CFC and this will increase Gross National Product by bringing new areas under food production. It can become tool of common property resource and wasteland development on sustainable basis by providing only one time investment.- Chemical Composition and Protein Quality of Improved Varieties of Indian Wheat (Triticum aestivum linn)

During the course of Ethnobotanical Exploration in Banka District a large number of plant species have been collected and identified which are used by the tribal and the villagers for treatment of various types of diseases.
The Survey was carried out with the help of Tribal Hakim/ Vaidyas and villagers which are quite herculioious work and immortal deeds in a very short period of time .The present paper deals with 30 useful plant species which are ethnomedicinally used by them . Such as they use Aegle marmelos in Jaundice, Colotropis procera in Mumps, Cassia occidcntalis in snake bite, Punica granatum is used to cure Arthritis Carica papaya is use to cure stomach ache and flatulence, Luffa cylindrica is used to cure acute fever and also is used in skin disease. Codiaecum variegatum is used to cure urinary Problems and in leucorrhoea as well. Cassia tora in sunstroke. Cassia fistula in dog bite. Cannabis sativa is taken to increase appetite. Acacia nilotica is used to cure gastric problem/ indigestion . Tectona grandis in male sterility and also is used for tooth ache, Psidium guajava is used to cure dysentery. Solanum tuberosum in skin burn.
Blumea aromatica in blood pressure, Chenopodium album is used to cure gastritis and Ehretia leavies in abortion and also is used in abdominal pain during menstruation.
In addition to these, other useful medicinal plants and their mode of administration are discussed in this communication.

In a modern and sustainable agriculture, the use of biofertilizers, soil amendments and suitable plant geometry with mechanization are eligible to increase plant production and to meet economic criteria to enhance soil fertility and to minimize environmental damage. A field experiment for consecutive two years i.e. 2014-16 and 2015-17 was conducted at research farm of Genda Singh Sugarcane Breeding and Research Institute, Seorahi, Kushinagar in autumn season to find out optimum plant geometry and nutrients management for efficient use of machinery with economics. The soil of the experimental plot was medium in organic carbon, medium in available phosphorus and low in potash with pH 8.2. The experiment consisting of four plant geometry i.e. S1 - 90 cm row spacing (conventional method), S2 - Trench planting in paired row at 120 (90:30) cm. S3 - Trench planting in paired row at 150 (120:30) cm. S4 - Trench planting in paired row at 180 (150:30) cm and two nutrient management practices i.e. F1 -100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics F2 - 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics and 25 % N through organic manures along with biofertilizers (Azotobacter + P.S.B. @ 10 kg/ha each) was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. On the basis of pooled data of two years, S2 treated plot produced significantly higher cane yield (104.72 t/ha) over other geometry operations. Gross income, net return (Rs. 175593/ha) and B: C ratios (1.50) were recorded significantly higher in S2 plant geometry treatment compared with remaining geometry treatments. Effect of nutrient management on gross return, net return, B: C ratio (1.44) and cane productivity (100.72 t/ha) were calculated significantly higher in 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics and 25 % N through organic manures along with biofertilizers (Azotobacter + P.S.B. @ 10 kg/ha treated plots (F2) but effects on plant height and cane length were non significant. Sucrose per cent was not affected significantly with different treatments of plant geometry and nutrient managements operations.Keywords

The grapes are being exported in increasing quantities from Maharashtra to European countries and a lot of pesticide inputs are being used by the growers. A total number of 578 grape samples collected from Nasik district during December, 2013 to April, 2014 and analyzed for 167 numbers of multi-class pesticide (Organophosphate, Triazine, Pyrimidine, Triazole, Imidazole, Benzimidazole, Nicotinoid, Substituted thiourea, Strobiluron, Dinitroaniline, Morpholine) residue levels using Liquid Chromatography-Mass spectrometry/Mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry/Mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) by using validated methods. Only four samples were free from pesticide residues and rest were contaminated with 1-13 numbers of pesticides residue. During the study different classes of total 41 number of agro-chemicals had been detected and 116 number of samples were failed with residues of 4-Bromo-2-Chlorophenol, Abamectin,Carbendazim, Chlormequat Chloride , Chloropyriphos,Dinocap,Forchlorfenuron, Hexaconazole, Flusilazole, Profenophos, Spinosad, Thiacloprid, Triazophos, Fipronil and Acephate by exceeding their European Union MRLs.Keywords
