The study was aimed to estimate standing biomass and carbon stocks in linear, scattered and block structures of trees outside forests through non-destructive method in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 45.65 ha area was sampled in the district for this purpose. The study recorded a total of 19 species from linear plots, 35 species from scattered and 8 species in blocks with mean stem density of 18.2, 100.5 and 153.8 individuals' ha-1 respectively and their respective mean basal area is 17.45, 1.48 and 26.58 m2ha-1. The growing stock density is 13.59, 57.94 and 15.49 m3 for linear, scattered and block structures respectively and standing biomass density values are 99.14±216.48 Mg ha-1, 5.73±7.37 Mg ha-1 and 105.16±125.43 Mg ha-1 for the same. The carbon stocks in linear structure is 47.09±102.8 Mg ha-1; scattered structure 2.72±3.50 Mg ha-1 and block structure 49.95±59.58 Mg ha-1. The girth class distribution shows that in linear, scattered and block structure >150 cm GBH class contributes higher values of growing stock, standing biomass and carbon stocks.Keywords

The liquid effluent treated from agro oil industry has an alkaline pH and lower level of dissolved oxygen (DO), which affects the aerobic respiration of organisms, and hence, not suitable for aquaculture application. Higher values of residual sodium carbonate (RSC), electrical conductivity, sulphate and total dissolved solids also suggest that the liquid effluent after treatment is also not suitable for irrigation purposes.Keywords

The treated effluent water from paper industry has an alkaline pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and the observed values indicate that, it affects the aerobic respiration of organisms and hence not suitable for aqua-culture application. Residual sodium carbonate (RSC) values observed for the treated liquid effluent sample suggest its suitability for irrigation purposes.Keywords

The present study aimed at studying the food security situation with respect to macro, socio-economic and consumption factors prescribed by FAO and to develop a policy prescription for attaining food security in Andhra Pradesh. The results revealed the problem of calorie deficiency, the declining per capita consumption, increase in the non-farming population in Andhra Pradesh, stagnant value addition by agriculture in total GDP, reduced purchasing power, declined access to food in rural areas, increased flexibility available with the government to spend on welfare programmes to increase availability, access and absorption and consequently on food security. Inequality in consumption expenditure, the alarming increase in general price level, the diversion of agricultural land to other nonagricultural uses reduced public investment in irrigation when compared to private investment were identified.References
