Acacia nilotica subsp. indica seedlings' morphometric parameters , viz. , seedling length , shoot collar diameter and total dry weight throughout the growth period of the seedlings. The container of 15 x 20 cm size registered superiority over 10 x 15 cm size polythene containers and the seedlings grown in the nursery bed for all the above growth characteristics of the seedlings.

The aim of the present study was to look at the antitussive activity of the ethanol extract of Alternanthera sessilis whole plant (EAS) by Sulfur dioxide gas induce model in mice. Results were revealed that the MESI was found to produce significant antitussive activity when compared with control and codeine phosphate in a dose dependent manner. The EAS produced 51.1 and 29.2% inhibition of SO2 induced cough at doses of 250 and 500mg/kg respectively the standard antitussive drug codeine phosphate(10 and 20mg/kg.p.o) showed 45.2 and 25.3 % inhibition respectively.Keywords

A study was conducted in Tikamgarh district in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh to document traditional techniques of tapping gum-butea and its impact on socioeconomic life of local Saharia inhabitants. The findings revealed that traditional method of collecting gum-butea followed by Saharias appears to have sound scientific basis. Yield of gum-butea was significantly correlated with tree girth (GBH) (r = 0.841; P≤0.01) and stem surface area (r = 0.804; P≤ 0.01). On an average, a tribal family earned ` 677 in a season which was not consistent across community (CV = 83.2%). Significant correlation existed between number of man-days employed and trees approached (r = 0.525, P = 0.01), total gum collected (r = 0.938; P≤0.01), and money earned (r = 0.774; P≤ 0.01). However, employment of more man-days did not yield proportional increase in collected gum. Trading process is traditional in nature and only limited outlets in the form of local pansaris (traders) and bichauliye (middle men) are available to gum collectors for selling their produce. The Saharias are compelled to sell gum-butea at low price (` 40 to 50 per kg). The study concluded that contribution of gum-butea in improving economic status of local tribes can be enhanced by removing inconsistency in making cuts on stem-bark and providing proper marketing channel.Keywords

North East (NE) India, commonly known as the 'land of seven sisters', is a territory of diverse ethnic groups, tribes and culture. Shifting cultivation, locally known as 'jhum' or 'jhumming', is a way of life for many of these tribes since time immemorial. The percentage utilization of cultivable area in this region (62.04) is less than the national average (73.05).Full Text
