Bamboos have provided ample fuel to the human creativity. Without bamboos, it is impossible to think of rural life. In the past few years, the Government of India has been making incessant efforts to create an awareness among the masses for use of bamboos for protection against environment degradation because of fast growth the bamboos can attain, they have no parallel. Therefore, it is important to propagate and popularize some selected bamboo species which can be used as fodder for milch cattle, timber for house building and new shoots for food. The IHBT has taken up the responsibility of propagation and extension of one such edible Chinese bamboo. The present paper deals with bamboo seed germination and nursery management practices.Keywords

A pot culture experiment was conducted from February to July, 1985 to study the growth and nutrient uptake of three important clones of poplar (Populus deltoides) viz. G-3, G-48 and D-121 under varying levels of artificially created salinity (control, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 % soluble salts) and sodicity (control, 20, 40, 50, and 80 ESP) in a silty clay loam soil. The results revealed that none of the clones could survive in salinity conditions. In sodicit treatment also the three clones survived only upto pH 8.5 (ESP-20). Plant growth in terms of height, girth and biomass (both aboveground and belowground) decreased with the increase in soil sodicity. This adverse effect was variable among the clones. In G-3 and G-48, ischolar_main growth was more affected while in D-121 reduction was mOl'e in shoot biomass. Nutrients content ofN, P, K, Ca and Mg decreased while Na content increased under sodic conditions resulting into higher Na/K, Na/Ca and Na/Mg ratios in all the three poplar clones.- Role of Eucalypts in Agroforestry and Essential Oil Production Potential

Eucalyptus controversy has been raging for the last couple of years that its plantations have been causing damage to water-table and soil. But data collected from Central Tarai Forest Division, Haldwani, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Nainital) and other source, reveal that growth and yield of the plants of Gramineae family including paddy and aromatic grasses is improved with the Eucalyptus leaf litter. No adverse effect of Eucalyptus on the agricultural crops and aromatic grasses has been noticed. Production potential and economics of land use increases if Eucalyptus is judiciously planted.- Soil and Land Use Pattern of a Part of U.P. Tarai and Bhabar Forest-an Aerial-photo Interpretation

Soils and land use pattern were studied ia a part of Nainital Tarai and Bhabar Forest, Uttar Pradesh. The objectives of the study were to examine feasibility of using aerial photographs as base map for delineating soli boundaries and land use patterns, to characterise and classify the soils and to study their genisis. Reliable stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs for accurately delineating soil boundaries could be possible only for the areas which were either under cultivation or under new plantation. In remaining area under thick forest and grass vegetation only random field checks for studying morphological properties of soils were made. The boundaries of existing land use pattern could be easily delineated on aerial photographs and were correlated by field checks. Three distinct soil series namely, Baurkbatta, Dauli and Lalkuan were identified in the whole area but their mapping could be done only for area under cultivation. Characteristics, clasiffication and genesis of tbese series were studied. Baurkhatta series was a coarse loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Aquic Hapludoll. Daull was coarse loamy, mixed, hyperthermic. Mollie Aeric Hapiaquept and Laikuan was a loamy skeletal, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Eutrochrept. The local topography and to some extent kind of vegetation were the factors determining soli genesis. Of the total mapped area (1313.12 ha). Baurkhatta, Daull and Lalkuan series occupied 33.4,43.9 and 22.7 per cent, respectively. Of the major land uses, about 43 per cent area was under forests in which Eucalyptus, Sal and Sisam were the main tree species; 3.5 per cent area was under grassland where johnson, tiger and kamal were the main grasses; about 11 per cent area was under river bed and roads and rest 9.5 per cent was under cultivation where new plantation was being planned. Soils under the influence of grass vegetation had thicker, darker and higher base status horizons than those of soils under forest vegetation.- Methods of Bamboo Preservation and Effect of CCA in Green Round Bamboo

Bamboos suffer from low shelf life because of attacks by fungi or insects mainly insect borers or termites. Traditionally, freshly cut bamboo poles were dipped in flowing water to remove starch, which attracts insects and pests or coating with oils or paint and even coal tar. The chemical method includes dipping in Cu SO4, Boric acid, Borax and Sodium pentachlorophenate solution to be used either singly or in combination. However, forcing out the sap under pressure and replacing with chemicals such as Copper- Chroma - Boric acid is a better method for enhanced shelf life. For small pieces, a treatment with hot and cold solutions of urea and Boric acid for varying periods has also been found quite useful.Keywords

Co/Ag multilayers with 20 bilayers with the composition, Ti(5 nm) [Co(1 nm)/Ag(4 nm)]20 Ti(5 nm), were deposited by electron beam evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum and annealed under vacuum to develop the discontinuous multilayer structure. The as-deposited and annealed multilayers show (111) texturing with both Co and Ag (111) peaks in the XRD. The magnetization curves have ferromagnetic behaviour which gradually change on annealing above 200°C to show a reduction of squareness and an increase in coercivity, a reflection of the microstructural changes involving breaking of layers to form the so called discontinuous multilayer (DML) structure. Magnetoresistance curves show increase in MR value with annealing that attains a constant value above 300°C presumably due to stagnation in growth of Co grains which are surrounded by Ag atoms.Keywords

One of the most important issues currently facing the oil and gas industries is the safety and security of pipelines which deliver crude oil from the reservoir to the refineries. Many complications such as waxing, slugging, rusting, theft, etc. obstruct the regular supply of fuel to the refineries. Continuous monitoring of pipelines is a major hurdle because of climatic conditions, length of the pipelines, identification of leakage, etc. Here we showcase an unmanned autonomous powered parachute aerial vehicle designed for monitoring such pipelines, thereby paving a way to solve this problem. The vehicle would follow a planned trajectory for following the pipeline effectively. We present here guidance, navigation and control of a powered parachute aerial vehicle. A nine degree of freedom mathematical model has been presented in detail. Lateral heading and longitudinal altitude hold controller was designed for this purpose. A path planning algorithm verified by actual flight parameters has been designed for following a trajectory using way point navigation.Keywords

Six murrah buffalo calves divided into two groups were fed wheat straw and concentrates mixture along with green Lucerne. The average dry matter (DM) intake per 100 kg body weight (2.94 ± 0.36 kg) and g / unit metabolic size (g/w0.75) (119.01 ± 7.54 g) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the animals of group II than the values obtained in the group I (2.25 ± 0.32 kg and 95.79 ± 10.03 g). The intake of digestible crude protein (DCP) g / unit metabolic size was lower (6.57 ± 0.57 g) in the males group than the females group (7.06 ± 0.71 g) whereas, the intake of total digestible nutrients (TDN) g / unit metabolic size was higher in the males group (77.79 ± 12.27) than the females group (68.02 ± 13.38). The differences in the intake and utilization of these nutrients between two groups of animals were statistically significant. The average digestibility co-efficients of DM, crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), total carbohydrates (TCHO), total ash, insoluble ash, neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) were 62.41 ± 1.13, 69.57 ± 0.89, 54.13 ± 1.81, 63.50 ± 0.86, 66.74 ± 2.79, 65.61 ± 3.29, 35.40 ± 2.08, 54.27 ± 1.38 and 74.73 ± 2.46 per cent in the animals of group I and 58.29 ± 1.44, 66.02 ± 0.36, 50.34 ± 0.49, 61.10 ± 0.79, 63.58 ± 1.80, 63.38 ± 2.41, 31.79 ± 1.39, 51.68 ± 0.71 and 68.64 ± 1.97 per cent in the animals of group II. Among the nutrients, the males digested more (P < 0.05) crude protein than the females.
