Indian Forester, Vol 134, No 1 (2008), Pagination: 125-130Abstract
Response of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Azospirillum, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and a companion fungus (CF) (Aspergillus fumigatus) was studied on growth of Aonla (Emblica officinalis) in nursery. Application of AM fungi and PSB in combination produced maximum plant height followed by combination of all the four treatments. Maximum diameter of seedlings was obtained in Azospirillum treatment followed by Azospirillum along with the companion fungus, followed by combination of AM fungi and companion fungus and companion fungus and PSB. Maximum ischolar_main colonization was in AM fungi and companion fungus combination and combination of AM fungi, companion fungus and Azospirillum. On the basis of above application of AM fungi along with companion fungus or Azospirillum and companion fungus is recommended to boost the growth of Aonla in nursery.Keywords

Chemical analysis of water flowing in Bichlari Nala was carried out for Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb. The analysis revealed all cations are below the permissible limits except Fe, Mn and Ni, which are above permissible limits and hence toxic for human consumption. As far as agricultural use of this water is concerned, no element is in higher concentration and hence is non-hazardous for crops. Bicarbonates, sulphates and nitrates, total hardness values are all within safer levels. Turbidity values are higher because of higher rate of erosion in the catchment areas. pH of all the samples is within the permissible limits. SAR (Sodium Absorption Ratio), SSP (Sodium Soluble Percentage) and RSC (Residual Sodium Carbonate) values are too low to cause any type of soil hazard. Proper hygienic filtration and disinfection with chlorine/bromine is recommended to render the waters fit for human consumption. Besides disinfection, vetiver grass needs to be grown abundantly in and around Banihal town and steep hills existing on both the banks of Bichlari stream. This will check fast erosion by binding the soil together and also will screen many of the cations including Fe, Ni and Mn to enter into the solution of the waters. Last, but not the least, is to create mass awareness among the residents of all the villages existing in the areas between Banihal and Ramban towns for maintaining a good sanitation throughout. Deforestation in the catchment areas of Bichlari Nala should be stopped forthwith with strong hands to protect mass wastage, landslides and contamination in waters.Keywords

Effect of application of biofertilizers, Azospirillum, phosphate-solubilising bacteria (PSB) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was studied in a factorial experiment on production of planting propagules (stumps) of teak in nursery. Seed germination was maximum in Azospirillum treatment followed by its combination with AM and PSB after two months. Maximum height of seedlings was recorded in AM + Azospirillum, AM + PSB and AM+PSB+ Azospirillum combination after five months. Diameter of seedlings at collar region was maximum in AM, AM + Azospirillum and AM + Azospirillum + PSB combinations. The economics of biofertilizer application is also worked out. Application of biofertilizers increase the number of stumps produced per bed as well as the diameter of stumps. Therefore, an artificial profit index was calculated combining the both parameters to infer the real benefit of biofertilizers' application. Based on the profit index application of AM fungi along with Azospirillum was found the best treatment to produce quality planting propagules of teak in a commercial nursery.Keywords

Floristic studies were conducted in Renuka Wildlife Sanctuary from 1999 to 2003. A total of 395 species belonging to 316 genera and 115 families were collected and identified. It includes 228 species of medicinal and aromatic plants, 85 species of exotics. The biological spectrum of study area reveals that the vegetation is theronanophanerophytic. The life forms of the area are Megaphanerophyte (0.52%), Mesophanerophyte (12.34%), Microphanerophyte (16.54%), Nanophanerophyte (19.16%), Chamaephyte (7.61%), Hemicryptophtye (5.51%), Geophyte (2.10%), Hydrophyte or marsh plants (3.41%), Therophyte (31.24%), Liana (0.79%), Parasite (0.52%) and Epiphyte (0.26%). The higher percentage of therophyte when compared to normal biological spectrum is due to the climate being favourable for growth of annuals. It is also presumed that the dominance of therophytes and nanophanerophytes may have partly resulted from disturbance in vegetation and grazing.- Response of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Combination on Growth and Nutrient Uptake in Bambusa nutans

The response of three different inocula of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was studied on growth, biomass, phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) uptake and per cent ischolar_main colonization in Bambusa nutans seedlings. The seedlings were raised as per routine nursery procedure in unsterilized soil mix. Mix AM inocula were used to inoculate the seedlings and comprised: (1) Acaulospora scrobiculata, Glomus mosseae, Scutellospora heterogama and S. pellucida, (2) Acaulospora sp. 2, A. scrobiculata, Gigaspora sp., Glomus mosseae, and Scutellospora pellucida, (3) A. laevis, Acaulospora sp., Gigaspora sp., S. pellucida. The first two inocula were isolated from bamboo ischolar_main segments and the third from teak rhizosphere soil. The improvement in growth parameters is correlated with per cent ischolar_main colonization of seedlings by AM fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhization by selected AM fungi constitutes in important approach for subsequent growth and development of Bambusa nutans seedlings.- An Integrated Approach to Control Fusarium Wilt of Dalbergia sissoo

Studies were conducted in polythene bags of size 12" × 20" (25 × 50 cm approx) to evaluate the effect of different combinations of lime mine spoil and forest soil (1 : 0, 5 : 1, 2 : 1,1 : 1, 1 : 5 and 1 : 2 v/v) on performance of five tree species viz; Bauhinia variegata, Robinia pseudoacacia, Eucalyptus hybrid, Grewia optiva and Toona ciliata. The experiment was carried out in polythene bags using randomized complete block design with three replications during 2001. The results show that combination of lime mine spoil-forest soil in the ratio of 1 : 5 and 1 : 2 (v/v) was found to be most effective with regard to survival, growth and biomass production parameters in all the five species. Eucalyptus hybrid gave maximum height, collar diameter, shoot dry weight, ischolar_main dry weight and total biomass whereas, survival was observed highest in Grewia optiva. Eucalyptus hybrid was followed by Bauhinia variegata, Grewia optiva, Robinia pseudoacacia and Toona ciliata in terms of growth parameters.- Socio-economic Status of Basods in Bamhani Block of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh - a Case Study

Basods' socio-economic status was studied in Bamhani block constituting of five villages namely Bamhani, Kamta, Kapotbahra, Tilai and Chhapri lying in Mandla District of Madhya Pradesh. There are 31 Basod families in this tract consisting of 72 males and 71 females with total persons of 143 where male: female ratio varies from 792 to 1500. Literacy is very low of the order of 36.36%. Demand of green bamboos (about 78%) is mostly met through adjoining bamboo forests by illegal means and the collection goes all the year around. Per capita income of Basod varies from Rs. 1765 to Rs. 3474. Basods make several articles depending upon seasonal requirement. 73% articles are mostly disposed of through individual efforts and 27% articles are sold through middlemen. 28% of the articles are consumed in villages. 28% are sold in local markets. Town markets are important in Bamhani area where 38% of articles are consumed. The remaining 6% articles are shifted to city market. Basods in this region have developed expertise to manufacture decorative items which fetch good price. Each article fetches a different price depending upon total bamboo consumed and mandays put up for manufacture of articles. Net profit per manday varies from Rs. 8.32 to Rs. 35.53 on general commodities. On decorative articles net profit per manday is from Rs. 40.82 to Rs. 48.89. On goods to be used in marriages, net profit per manday is from Rs. 3.32 to Rs. 21.65. Assuming that Basods work for 200 days in a year making certain articles, per day earning turns out to be Rs. 19.18. This is however improved if decorative items are sold. Articles used in marriages do not yield substantially. Bamboo requirement in Bamhani area is of the order of 29000 bamboo culms for 200 days if 2 bamboos are used by a male Basod and one bamboo by a female Basod daily. Main problems of Basod community in this region are (1) non availability of green bamboos; (2) improper marketing and selling of articles and (3) non-availability of finances. In addition to many other suggestions, initiation of Basod Co-operative Society will be a step further in improvement of socio-economic status of Basods.- Die Back of Leguminous Trees in Young Plantations Caused by Haplosporella in Central India

Shorea robusta is dominant in preserved and unpreserved areas having maximum IVI, density, frequency and abundance. The higher value of diversity index in preserved plot than unpreserved one indicates more stable community in the preserved plot. The distribution of tree species in this forest is characterised by random and regular distribution. The population structure of tree species is represented mainly by two patterns. One pattern is represented by greater proportion of individuals in seedling stage indicating frequent reproduction. Another pattern indicates individuals in intermediate girth classes, wherein disturbances prevent regeneration thereby absence of seedlings. If such a trend continues for longer period, these species may disappear from this area in near future.- Association and Activity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizae of Teak (Tectona grandis) in Central India

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of Tectona grandis isolated from 20 different sites, including nursery, plantation and natural forests their ischolar_main colonization and effect of inoculation of AM fungi on growth of teak seedlings were studied. The per cent ischolar_main colonization ranges between 25-95 at different sites. Genetically superior (plus trees) showed heavy ischolar_main colonization as compared to other normal trees. Sixteen different AM fungi were isolated and identified belonging to 5 genera of Glom ales namely Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Glomus, Scutellospora and Sclerocystis. Among these Glomus etunicatum and Acaulospora scrobiculata were found most widely distributed species followed by Glomus indraradices and G. mosseae while G. fasciculatum, was found least frequent. Inoculation of teak seedling with G. fasciculatum and mix AM fungi separately showed better height growth, biomass and percent ischolar_main infection in nursery compare to uninoculated (control) seedlings. The mix AM inoculum is found more effective to boost the growth and biomass.- Effect of Inoculation of VAM Fungi and Rhizobium on Growth and Biomass Production in Acacia nilotica in Nursery

Seedlings of Acacia nilotica were inoculated with Rhizobium strain, isolated from nodules of the same species, VAM fungi and single dose of nitrogen and phosphorus in unsterilized soil in nursery condition. A single species of VAM fungus, Glomus mosseae and a mixture of VAM fungi locally isolated, consisting of Glomus species and a Gigaspora sp. Were used to inoculate the seedlings. Height growth, collar diameter, nodulation, percentage ischolar_main infection by VAM fungi, fresh and dry weights of shoot and ischolar_mains were determined after 4 months of inoculation. Inoculation of Rhizobium and VAM fungi and application of nitrogen and phosphorus singly or in different combinations enhanced the growth and biomass production as compared to uninoculated (control) seedlings. Maximum seedlings volume (height x ischolar_main collar diameter2) was found in seedlings inoculated with G. mosseae and Rhizobium in combination, as well as Rhizobium and phosphorus combination followed by mixed inoculum of VAM fungi. Maximum total dry biomass was recorded in seedlings treated with a combination of mixture of VAM fungi, Rhizobium VAM mixed and phosphorus. It is concluded that inoculation of VAM fungi, Rhizobium singly or in combination is equally or more beneficial over use of chemical fertilizers in raising the seedlings of Acacia nilotica.- Survey of Native VAM Fungi of Sodic Soils of Haryana State

Different plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPM) were screened for their growth promoting activity against Santalum album in nursery. A mix of selected organisms, Azospirillum, phosphate solubilising bacteria (fluorescent Pseudomonas sp.), Trichderma viride, AM fungi and soil amendment with organic matter were applied in a factorial field experiment to study their effect on survival and growth of sandal (Santalum album) saplings. Loam soil, farm yard manure (FYM), un-decomposed teak leaf, Leucaena leaf and mix organic matter (mixer of these 3 organic matters in equal ratio) in 3:1 v/v were used for amendment of natural red muram soil. There was 10-20% mortality in un-amended soil as compared to 0-10% in soil amended with organic matter along with PGPM application. No mortality was recorded in soil amended with loam soil, mix of FYM, teak and Leucaena leaves along with application of PGPM. Significant effect of soil amendment and application of PGPM was also observed on the growth of saplings after 2 years and 3 monthof planting. Fruit bodies of Lepiota longicauda, L. cristata and Scleroderma sp. were only developed on soil amended with organic matters. Maximum height was recorded in PGPM applied and soil amended with teak leaves (61% more as compared to control) followed by mixed organic matter and loam soil (39% and 38% more, respectively).Keywords

Khair mortality was recorded in two central Indian states, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Mortality was observed in 9-20 years old plantations upto 93 per cent in both states due to ischolar_main rot disease caused by a fungus, Ganoderma lucidum. In Madhya Pradesh, the worst affected areas are Palpur (Sheopur) and Ghuniya beet (Indore) having maximum 93% and 40% mortality respectively. In Maharashtra, Hiwari range of Yavatmal was found as the most affected site having up to 60% mortality due to this disease. Fusarium sp. also causes 3% mortality in one year old plantation at Akoli beet, Pandherkawda (MS). Total 17 fungal species were found associated with different stages of khair mortality which include 6 fungi, namely Hapalopilus nidulans, Lenzites pisolotii, Monodictys castaneae, Resinicium bicolor, Rigidoporus vinctus and Trametes hirusita recorded for the first time from central India.Keywords

A detailed analysis of earthquakes along the slow-spreading Central Indian Ridge (CIR) is carried out by comparing the seismicity pattern with different morpho-tectonic segments of the ridge. The seismicity pattern is correlatable well with the bathymetric trend of major fracture zones and longer spreading ridge segments in the central part of the ridge between 7°S and 19°S. The frequencymagnitude relation of earthquakes along four major fracture zones and two spreading segments suggest that the spreading segments, in general, are characterised by higher b-values than the fracture zones. The difference in b-values can be attributed to changes in deformation pattern and faulting mechanism between the two regions.
Source mechanisms for 54 major earthquakes occurring along the ridge mostly show either normal faulting with one of the nodal planes parallel to the local spreading segment, or strike-slip motion on steeply dipping nodal planes parallel to the transform. However, a careful analysis of their locations with the morphotectonic details of the ridge reveals few anomalous mechanisms located near the ridge - transform intersections or along geometrically complex transform faults. The reverse faulting mechanisms at the ridge-transform intersections near Sealark F.Z. and Argo F.Z have been inferred to be due to thermal stresses associated with the differential cooling of the lithosphere, The normal faulting earthquakes along the 12°12'S F.Z. might be due to an extensional offset of the fault. Another normal faulting event located along the Marie-Celeste EZ, outside the Principal Transform Displacement Zone(PTDZ) indicates the geometrical complexity of the fault.

Results of Gravity surveys conducted over Bankura anorthosite complex lying between latitude 23°28.5' to 23°33'N and longitude 86°50' to 87°15'E are discussed. The area is characterised by a gravity high of the order of 20 mgals in the eastern part and decreases to 4-5 mgals in the western part. The gravity high is found to be unrelated to the anorthosite and extends beyond the outcrop of this exposure. It is attributed to the presence of a gabbroic body underlying the anorthosite and its adjacent areas. The thickness of anorthosite layer is found to be less than 200 meters. Assuming a density contrast of +0.23 gm/cc between the underlying gabbro and the surrounding Bengal gneisses, the maximum thickness of the gabbro is found to be 5.0 km in the eastern part near Rajarampur (23°29.7'N, 87°11'E). The causative body is found to be elongated along the strike of the anorthosite exposure. It appears to be faulted underneath the Damodar river along the northern as well as the northeastern sides.- Gravity Field, Structure and Tectonics of the Raniganj Coalfield - Three Dimensional Model

A residual Bouguer gravity anomaly map of the Raniganj Coalfield, West Bengal, India, has been prepared using graphical method of regional and residual separation. The gravity anomaly map reveals a minimum residual gravity of the order of -27 mgal in the central part of the coalfield. The residual gravity field over the basin has been interpreted in terms of the Gondwana sediments overlying the crystalline metamorphic rocks, using a three dimensional model with the help of computer programme given by Strange and Woollard (1969). A density contrast of -0.37 gm/cm3 between Gondwana sediments and metamorphic rocks has been used for calculations. The maximum thickness of sediments filling the basin is estimated to be 2.9 km in the central part of the basin. The basement depths obtained by three dimensional analysis are correlated with available borehole data in the coalfield and are found to give a good indication of the reliability of the model constructed.- Gravity Field and Tectonics in Karanpura-Daltonganj Coalfields, Eastern India

Both coalfields are marked by significant gravity 'lows'. Maximum sedimentary thickness present is of the order of 1. 75km below the surface under the Karanpura and 0.8 km under the Daltonganj coalfields. The two coalfields, are characterized by prominent normal faults at their southern margin. The throw of the faults may be few hundred metres, Within the individual coalfields, basement faults appear to be associated with younger Gondwana sediments on the surface. The areas occupied by youngest Gondwanas do not necessarily represent the deepest part of the coalfields. This is noted, in general, for nearly all coalfields of the Damodar Valley. Differential movement appears to have occurred during Gondwana times under the coalfields resulting in either single-walled or double-walled grabens.- Analysis of the Gravity Field Over Parts of South Singhbhum, Sukinda Ultramafic Complex and Nature of Sukinda Thrust

A regional gravity survey has been carried out over the area lying between latitude 20°30' to 21°30'N, and longitude 85° to 86°15'E, forming a part of south Singhbhum geological province and northern part of the Eastern Ghats. The area is well-known for Sukinda ultramafic complex, Diateri and Malayagiri iron-ore deposits as well as Sukinda thrust.Nearly 350 gravity stations were established along main roads, forest roads and cart tracks. Bouguer anomaly map of the area shows gravity highs over the Diated iron-ore group, the Malayagiri volcanics, the Sukinda ultramafic complex as well as over the Eastern Ghats province. Two-dimensional models. have been prepared to show the nature of the ultramafic complex, iron-ore group (lOG) of rocks and the Sukinda thrust. The lOG appear to form narrow but steeply dipping sedimentary troughs, while the Sukinda thrust appears to be steeply dipping to the south.

Normally, oil comes out from the reservoir with its own energy. However, this primary production averages 30% of oil inplace. Various enhanced recovery methods are used to bring a substantial percentage of the remaining oil to surface. The paper describes the evaluation and experimental procedures for evaluating a surfactant system and the expected additional recoveries. It also describes the importance and the essential measurement of all physico-chemical parameters viz. interfacial tension optimal salinity, solubilisation, adsorption and the flood studies carried out in the laboratories using actual reservoir rock and oil add a techno-economic analysis of the process.- Effect of Experimental Phosphorus Deficiency on Protein and Feed Efficiency Ratios in Rats

The waters of Shivkhori stream, Raunra Tawi khad and Thanna Tawi khad stream of Kalakot area, Rajouri district, J&K state were subjected to analysis by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry for elements Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Mn, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr. All the elements except Si and Al were present within permissible limits in all the samples according to Bureau of Indian Standards and WHO. Aluminium is objectionable in four out of the 15 samples analysed, and silicon is present more than the permissible limits in all the samples. A good afforestation programme together with adopting Vetiver technology in the watershed areas of the region will screen out many of the elements including Al and Si not to enter the solution of the waters. Nitrates, sulphates, chlorides, bicarbonates, TDS and total hardness (TH) are all within the prescribed limits, and hence with respect to all these parameters, the waters are safe to be used for human consumption and also for agricultural use. SAR and SSP values of all the samples are within the prescribed limits, and hence the waters cannot be considered to create any harm as far as agricultural use is concerned. The waters of all the three streams are recommended to be subjected to chlorine/bromine disinfection to render the same safe for human consumption. Last, but not the least, attention needs to be paid towards bad sanitation prevailing near the banks of all the streams, which needs to be improved upon.Keywords

Environmental concerns associated with the use of synthetic chemicals/petrochemical based pesticides have emphasized the importance of developing eco-friendly products with lower mammalian toxicity and a lower persistence in the environment. Seed chemicals of Pongamia pinnata were isolated and modified into saponified and amide products. Products derived from P. pinnata protein were completely soluble in water and their aqueous solutions are clear at room temperature, while saponified products showed turbidity at higher concentrations. The surface tension and viscosity of saponified products were found to be changed with dilutions, 0.03-0.05 N/m, 0.45-1.35 mpa.s at 0.1 to 5% concentrations, respectively, while surface tension and viscosity of diethanolamide product ranged from 0.036 to 0.020 N/m and 0.023 mpa.s to 1.02 mpa.s at 0.1 to 10% concentration, respectively. The properties of both products showed better surface tension lowering ability and wetting power in comparison to water. Significant (P=0.01) fungal growth inhibition was recorded at higher dilution against the tested fungus, Flavodon flavus and Penicillium chrysogenum. The diethanolamide product showed complete fungal growth inhibition at 5.0% dilution even after 7 days against F. flavus and P. chrysogenum. The present study concludes that surfactant formulation of non edible oil seeds contains fungicidal activities. The different dilutions exhibited pronounced toxicity against the target fungal species.Keywords

A heartening feature of the healthcare in India is that life expectancy has increased from 32 years in 1947 to 68 years today. However, this has resulted in newer health challenges, notably in the form of mental illnesses. But the astonishing feature is that we do not talk about mental health seriously in the same terms as compared to physical health. Still today, mental disorders are seen as madness and insanity and considered as disgrace and shame. Mental health often tends to get neglected when compared to the significance typically attached to general health awareness. Mental illness is also similar to physical ailments and ischolar_mained in a biological basis as opposed to mythological beliefs which attribute mental illnesses to the presence of evil spirits or the like.
The World Health Organisation's Mental Health Gap Action Programme 2013-2020 indicates that mental, neurological and substance use disorders are common in all regions of the world affecting every community and age groups with most of the affected people belonging to low-income countries and asserts that with proper care, medication and psychological assistance, millions of peoples can be treated for depression, tendency for suicide and schizophrenia even with scarce resources. The neglect of nears and dears is thus making the issue of mental health care extremely important in the Indian scenario and an issue which has to be carefully and intelligently handled and given priority to on urgent basis. In such type of problems, there is an insidious and progressive decline in mental functions. While no cure exists, it is important to catch the ailment in its early stages and initiate certain measures. These include looking at patterned behavioural characteristics, setting routines for mundane tasks and certain medications. For the first time in India, mental health care is now a justiciable right following the enforcement of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. As a pressing need for the right to health movement in India, the law has recognized the right to access health care for citizens especially for mental health. More significantly, the Act guarantees right of access to every person of mental healthcare and treatment from mental health services run by the Government at an affordable cost as well as free mental healthcare to people living below the poverty line. Besides this, right to confidentiality in respect of mental health care treatment and right to free legal aid for exercising rights under the Act. While the present Act focuses mainly on the rights of persons in need of mental healthcare and their institutionalization but it lacks in providing for needs of the family and their contribution to treatments as well as the prevention aspect of mental illness and skill building among mental health care professionals. Probably, a more balanced Act is the need for the Indian scenario considering its social systems and constraints.
