Abstract

A complete package of practices for commercial cultivation of Hedychium spicatum Ham. ex. Smith , Valeriana wallichii DC. and Roscoea purpurea Royle were worked out at National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources , Regional Station , Shimla. The seed rhizomes weighed about 40-50 g of H. spicatum planted at a row-to-row and plant-to-plant distance of 45cm × 30 cm in the furrows at depth of 10-12cm and applied with well rotten FYM at the rate of 30-35 tonnes/ha and have given yield of 115-120 q/ha matured rhizomes after 2 years. Planting of V. wallichii into rows 40-50 cm apart and at 20-30 cm spacing between plants along with a dose of 35-40 tonnes FYM yielded 70-75 q/ha fresh ischolar_main mass and dried ischolar_main mass of 20-25 qlha. its autumn harvest (September-October) after two years is considered optimal. The seed tubes of R. purpurea weighed 4-5 g gave yield of 25-30 q/ha when sown in furrows with row-to-row distance and plant-to-plant distance of 30 × 15cm at 8cm depth and applied with FYM dose of 25-30 tonnes/ha.

Abstract

Investigations were carried on changes in soil fertility status under six different trees vegetation cover over barren sand dunes. Tbe overall fertility improved under trees cover in comparison to barren sand dunes. Organic carbon increaseed from 0.03 to 0.47 per cent and total N from 0.007 to 0.043 per cent under P. cineraria cover wbereas, available P₂O_S increased from 14.95 to 33.68 kg/ha under the same cover. Among all six tree species tried viz. P. juliflora, A. tortilis, P. cineraria, A. senegal and Capparis decidua the minimum improvement was observed under P. juliflora cover.

Abstract

3-zonocolpate, diorate pollen grains are of rare occurrence and have been reported in the families Didymelaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Myoporaceae, Scrophulariaceae, etc. (Erdtman, 1952). The paper records for the first time the occurrence of the similar pollen grains in Aeschynomene aspera Linn. (Leguminosae-Papilionatae). In addition to it, two more species of Aeschynomene, viz., A. indica Linn. and A. nyikensis Baker have been investigated. The data reveal pollen morphological heterogeneity in the genus, and in the light of this heterogeneity the taxonomic and evolutionary significance of these species have been discussed.

Abstract

The vascular flora of Mahendragiri hill and the surrounding areas of Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli Districts, Tamil Nadu, is dealt with in this paper. The floristic survey and investigations of the area reveal a varied and heterogeneous vegetetion. Tne vegetation varies from Southern tropical wet-evergreen, moist and dry deciduous to grassland and thorn forests. In all five exploration visits in different seasons were conducted which resulted in a collection of 831 field numbers distributed over 120 families, 398 genera and 579 species. About 21 species endemic to Tirunelveli and Travancore hill%, have been collected from this area. Of the families, Leguminosae, Gramineae, Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae, Acanthaceae, Labiatae, Orchidaceae, Arteraceae, Cyperaceze, Moraceae and Asclepizdaceae are in order of dominance. Pteridophytes are represented by 8 families, 14 genera and 16 species, the family Pteridaceae being dominant in having 6 genera and 7 species.

Abstract

Gametophytes of seven species of ferns raised from spores on agar medium, are described. These are either cordate (Cheilanthes, Hypodematium, Cyclosorus and Tectaria) or lobed, thalloid (Actiniopteris, Asplenium and' Adiantum). All are homosporous ferns but in some of the taxa distinction is observed between antheridia and archegonia bearing prothalli (Cheilanthes, Hypodematium and Tectaria). Variations in morphology, sex expression and sporophyte formation are discussed.

Abstract

Description is given of the ethnobotanical importance of species of ferns and fern allies collected from different localities throughout Rajasthan. The 'tribal' informations are confirmed by Ayurvedic Vaidiyas and 'Hakeems'.

In Rajasthan the well-known tribal races are Bheel, Garassia, Sanshi, Meena, Gadaria-lohar, etc. Some of them inhabit the Aravallies and Chambal revines which possess sufficient vegetation of pteridophytes (Bir and Verma, 1963 ; Bhardwaja et al., 1979 ; Bohra et al., 1980). Ethnobotanical survey of these places has yielded interesting results, some of which are given in the present paper. During survey, Tape recorder was used as the language of many 'Tribal races' could not be understood well and got the conversation translated by some educated persons of the race, now residing in urban areas.

Abstract

Milk has been honoured since ancient times for its high nutritive vaiue, most liked taste and no religious or social restriction/bar in its consumption. Due to its high quality protein and richness in calcium, phosphorus and riboflavin, milk has been recommended to be a regular item in the balanced diet, may it be consumed in liquid or in the form of milk products. India is at the first position in the world in milk production with annual milk production of 100.9 million tonnes. Despite the remarkable progress in food production, India has not achieved the nutritional security and it becomes the matter of great concern when one talks of prevalence of malnutrition in the country. The judicious use of food in terms of main as well as by-products of all the food sectors may be a helping aspect to meet the increased demands of nutrients paused due to increased population.

Abstract

The results of the study conducted at PAU, Zonal Research Station for Kandi area, Ballowal Saunkhari in Sadh Di Khad watershed, cultivated land use system exhibited significantly higher levels of chemical and physical characteristics of soil quality, whereas, significantly higher levels of biological characteristics of soil were reported in forest land use system compared with undisturbed and pasture land use systems. Thus, cultivated and forest land use systems had better soil quality due to addition of chemical fertilizers and farm yard manure in cultivated land use system and due to regular addition of organic matter in forest land use system. Soil samples from profiles in cultivated and forest land use systems had higher levels of soil quality characteristics as compared to undisturbed and pasture land use systems. The soil quality characteristics decreased with depth in profile. Higher levels of soil quality characteristics in profile were associated with lowering of pH and higher content of organic matter and clay.

Abstract

Critical assessment is given of the fossil conifers (gymnospersm) reported and described from the Upper Triassic to Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Indian sub–continent. Morphology and anatomy of woods (stems) ischolar_mains, twigs, leaves and fertile structures both male and seed-bearing fructifications and isolated petrified seeds are included in this review. Majority of extinct conifers belong to Podocarpaceae and Araucariaceae. Representatives of Taxodiaceae, Cupressaceae and Taxaceae are also reported in this paper. This account will enhance our knowledge of the Mesozoic vegetation, distribution and kind of forests and in tracing the phylogeny of controversial taxa of extant conifers. Palynology and stratigraphy are not discussed in this paper. A detailed review of literature on Mesozoic conifers of India is given.
