It is clear from the above discussion that such a large venture should be planned with bottom-top approach with local perception and well in advance for harnessing full benefits and better results, transparency and accountability. Such massive plantation drive helps in enriching the environment by conserving natural resources and provide livelihood security to the poor in the region in the form of greater employment opportunities during lean period and future supply of tree products.Keywords

A study was conducted during 1988 to 1991 with 15 (fifteen) local multipurpose tree species for identifying maximum yield of fuelwood, fodder, pole, timber etc. about 15 years old tree species coppiced at 15 cm above the ground level at Krishnagiri Farm, Langol Hills, ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Manipur Centre, Imphal. The maximum height (9.46 m), girth (89.67 cm) and number of branches (19 nos.) was recorded in Grewia optiva followed by Ficus hispida, Celtis australis and Aillanthus excelsa. The maximum canopy was recorded in Ficus hispida (42.44 m2) followed by Grewia optiva and Ficus cunia. Maximum crown height was in Grewia optiva (6.69m) followed by Ficus hispida and Aillanthus excelsa. The maximum fodder (green) yield was recorded in Grewia optiva (95.5 kg/plant) followed by Ficus hispida and Bauhinia purpurea. The maximum dry matter (%) was recorded in Quercuspachyphylla (50.3%) followed by Quercusdealbata and Schimawallichii- Plant Management in Agroforestry

Agroforestry is the term given to sustainable land use systems which involve more or less intimate and interacting associations of agricultural/horticultural crops and woody perennials (tree, shrubs, palms, vines, bamboos) all on the same unit ofland. This form ofland use has two main objectives. Productivity, involving a multiplicity of outputs, and sustainability which implies the conservation, or ever improvement of the environmental aspects of the system. Immediate programme of investigation and research are needed to improve existing agroforestry system. The current rapid rate of deforestation in Manipur State and other parts of the country is largely the outcome of continuing competition from agriculture. It is against this background that recent efforts to improve agroforestry techniques aimed at the integration of compatible components of forestry and agricultural system should be viewed. The aspects covered in the study are : (1) The manipulation of individual trees for vegetative and reproductive yield; (2) Effects of increasing plant population densities; (3) Effects of manipulating tree/herbaceous crop mixtures and management in Agroforestry of trees grown for different purposes.- Existing Agroforestry Systems and Practices in Manipur

The Division of Agroforestry, ICAR, Manipur Center, Imphal has carried out a pre-emptive survey on the existing agroforestry Systems and practices in the 5 hill districts of the State and identified/encountered the problems faced and the required need based Technologies by the hill farmers. Research on Silvi-horliculture, Silver-pastoral (Horti-pastoral), Agri-Silvi-Pastoral, AgriHorti- Pastoral systems with both indigenous as well as exotic tree species at ICAR Krishnagiri Langol Farm are giving encouraging results. The main agricultural crops inter-cropped in the systems are Zea mays, Cajanus cajan, Vigna unguiculate and others, while Pemphis purpureum (Elephant grass) Penisetum pedicellatum, Teosinte, Changlning etc. are the main fodder grasses having bright prospects. The multipurpose tree incorporated are Parkia roxburghii, Litsea polyantha, Alnus nepalensis etc. and available species of Albizia, Artocarplls, Ficus are more useful for Agroforestry systems.- Estimation of Groundwater Recharge Potential of Domagor-Pahuj Watershed Using Water Table Fluctuation Method

Groundwater is one of the important sources of potable water. The water table fluctuation method was used to evaluate the annual variations in water level rise and to estimate the groundwater recharge during pre interventions and post interventions phase of Domagor-Pahuj watershed development. The area experiences an average annual rainfall is 880 mm. The estimates of average annual water table fluctuation and change in groundwater storage volume of randomly selected thirty wells of pre-interventions and post-interventions phases of watershed were 3.03 to 4.34 million m3, and 1.52 to 2.18 million m3, respectively. The total annual groundwater recharge potential estimated for the areas was 1.47 million m3 before intervention and 2.06 million m3 after intervention.Keywords

Bambusa vulgaris was multiplied by burying whole culms during 2014 and 2015 at the Research Farm of ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute, Jhansi. Two-year-old bamboo culms produced higher number (165) of shoots than 1-year (114) and 3-year-old culms (57). The culm planting method resulted in prolific ischolar_maining pattern during monsoon season, and on an average 5.7 ischolar_mained plants were obtained from every alternate node. Rooted sprouts were separated from each productive node along with fibrous ischolar_mains attached to it and were planted in polythene bags as new plantlets. This method of planting was found impressive for developing live bamboo fence and producing a large number of plants from scarce planting material. This technique promises a large number of planting material and readily acceptable technology to the farmers.Keywords

Water harvesting is a critical component of any approach to alleviating India’s water crisis. Traditional rainwater harvesting systems are found in every region of the country. Haveli is one such system found in almost every village in the Bundelkhand region, Uttar Pradesh, India. A defunct Haveli in the Parasai–Sindh watershed of Jhansi district, Uttar Pradesh, was rejuvenated by providing a cement concrete core wall to the earthen embankment to address the problem of breaching, and the existing outlet was also expanded. This study was conducted from 2013 to 2019 to analyse the hydrology of the rejuvenated Haveli and to understand its impact on surface-water availability and recharging groundwater. The study period was divided based on long-term southwest monsoon (SWM) as wet (SWM > 20%), normal (SWM ± 20%) and dry (SWM < 20%) years. It was found that the Haveli could harvest about 1.91–2.0 times, 1.13–1.72 times and 0.2 times its capacity during a wet, normal and dry year, respectively. There was a 1.41 m difference in hydraulic head between pre- and post-Haveli rejuvenation in a wet year, whereas, a normal year, the difference was 2.71 m.Keywords
