An experiment on the influence of tree cover on physical properties of soil was carried out at Instructional Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari (Gujarat) under twelve-years old plantation during the year 2002-2003. The experiment was laid out in FCRD with eleven treatments viz., Arjun (Terminalia arjuna), Hed (Adina cordifolia), Teak (Tectona grandis), Sharu (Casuarina equisetifolia), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus tereticornis), Sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo), Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus), Biyo (Pterocarpus marsupium), Killai (Albizia procera), Khair (Acacia catechu) and control (open field) with three replications. The soil samples were collected from three depths (0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm). Maximum improvement in physical characteristics of soil viz., particle density, bulk density, porosity, and water holding capacity were recorded under D. sissoo plantation and observed in upper layer (0-30 cm) of soil.Keywords

A pot culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of salinity and IBA treatment on cuttings of Jatropha curcas L. in relation to sprouting of buds, initial growth parameters, ischolar_maining and survival. The performance of Jatropha curcas L. was better in SN (Natural soil) and decreased in all salinity levels. The highest per cent sprouting of buds was recorded under SN (Natural soil) and minimum in S5 (10 dSm-1) in IBA treated cuttings, while no sprouting of buds was observed under the salinity level S5 (10 dSm-1) in untreated cuttings. IBA treated cuttings have higher survival and ischolar_maining when compared with their respective untreated cuttings (control). The maximum per cent survival and ischolar_maining was observed under natural soil (SN). The salinity levels of S3 (6 dSm-1) and beyond greatly declined the survival and ischolar_maining in IBA treated as well as untreated cuttings (control). Increasing salinity levels also suppressed the growth parameters viz., number of leaves per plant, ischolar_main length, leaf area, and biomass production in IBA treated cuttings as well as untreated cuttings (control). However, the reducing effect was more pronounced in untreated cuttings when compared to IBA treated cuttings. The salinity level of S3 (6 dSm-1) and beyond greatly reduced the above parameters in both untreated and IBA treated cuttings. Thus the present study reveals that the untreated cuttings of Jatropha curcas can be planted in the soil up to salinity level of 2 dSm-1, whereas, if treated with IBA the cuttings can be planted up to a salinity level of 4 dSm-1.- Effect of Forest Tree Species on the Yield Potential of Intercrops

The present investigation was carried out with its prime objective to study the effect of forest tree species on the yield potential of inter crops during the year 1994-95. Grain yield of agricultural crops (intercrops) grown in association with trees decreased compared to sole crops. The reductions in yields under Casuarina were more than Adina cordifolia and Gmelina arborea. Maumum light intensity was recorded under open field (control) wbile it was found to he minimum with Casuarina.- Effect of Pruning Intensities and Different Levels of Fertilizers on Jatropha Curcas L. under Irrigated Condition

The world continues to seek economically and environmentally sound alternatives to fossil fuel-based transportation of fuels and power. Energy crop Jatropha curcus L provide an attractive combination of high yield density, high net energy balances, low input requirements and has potential to be tailored for specific production and refining processes. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pruning and fertilizer on growth and yield of Jatropha curcas L. There were three pruning intensities viz., P (No pruning), P (45 cm) and P (60 cm) and four levels of fertilizer 0 1 2 -1 -1 -1 viz., F (No fertilizer), F (60:60:60 g NPK plant ), F (80:80:80 g NPK plant ) and F (100:100:100 g NPK plant ). A clear 0 1 2 3 decreasing trend was observed from F to F in almost parameters under study. Interaction effect between intensities of 3 0 pruning and levels of fertilizer was found non significant in all growth parameters of Jatropha curcus L. From this study -1 the significant yield increased by P (60 cm) pruning and F (100:100:100 g NPK plant ) level of fertilizer gave best result 2 3 for getting higher yield and vegetative growth of Jatropha curcas L.Keywords
