A field study was done to study and document the indigenous knowledge of various ethnic groups of Sikkim regarding animal healthcare. A large number of plants was collected and the information on their ethno-veterinary uses was gathered from local inhabitants. The information about folk medicinal use, vernacular names of plants and the parts of the plants used are documented. During the investigation, a well developed ethno-veterinary system among tribal people was observed. 19 species of plants were recorded, which are used by local people to cure various diseases and disorders. The basic aim of the study was to document knowledge and conserve these medicinal plants.Keywords

This paper presents the findings of an exploratory study on ethnoveterinary medicinal systems used for livestock in Sikkim Himalaya. The data have been collected from March 2008 to June 2009 through open conversation with local people and traditional healers. It has been resulted in the documentation of 27 medicinal plant species belonging to 20 families and 27 genera. There are 16 types of ailment have been reported to be cured by the use of 27 plant species. Out of 27 species, the highest number of plants has been reported to treat cut, injuries and wound. As regards the plant part/s used in remedy preparation, the maximum numbers of species are harvested for leaves (9 species) followed by ischolar_mains and rhizomes (8 species), whole plants, fruits, etc. The richness of plant diversity decreased with increase in altitude but the percentage of species used as medicine steadily increase with increase in altitude, may be due to preference given to herbal remedies in high altitude areas with having no alternative choice and poverty. This underlines the potentials of the ethnomedicine and need for the documentation of traditional knowledge for the greater benefit of mankind.Keywords

An attempt has been made to study on impact of demonstration on farmers fields in adopted villages of Sikar district. The yield gap, input gap, cost and return were calculated for purpose of the study. The survey covered 40 farmers from 4 adopted villages where wheat, barley, gram and mustard demonstration (full technology) were conducted in adopted villages. In each village, 10 demonstrations were conducted. From each village, 10 farmers were selected who have adopted traditional practices for crop cultivation. The results indicated that yield gap per hectare between demonstration plots and farmers practices was 15.71, 23.70, 29.17 and 20.00 per cent for wheat, barley, gram and mustard, respectively. On farmers practices, overall inputs gap was about 21 per cent for wheat, barley and mustard and 33 per cent for gram as compared to demonstration. Thus, there is more scope to raise the mustard, gram, barley and wheat productivity by improving the techniques of production rather than by raising the input use levels. The results further revealed that the cost of cultivation per hectare on demonstration plots was Rs. 16854, Rs. 15110, Rs. 13622 and Rs. 12415 for wheat, barley, gram and mustard while on farmers fields it was Rs. 13883, Rs. 12445, Rs. 10301 and Rs. 10227 for wheat, barley, mustard and gram, respectively. The net return per hectare was the highest for mustard followed by wheat, barley and gram. While on farmers practices, it was highest for wheat followed by mustard, barley and gram. The increase of net return on demonstration plots over farmers' practices was 26.79, 24.75, 19.25 and 9.43 per cent for barley, gram, mustard and wheat, respectively.Keywords

The paper is an attempt to study so ancient rocks as the Alwars from a sedimentary petrographic point of view.
The Alwar series of rocks at Debari near Udaipur (Rajasthan) comprise basal conglomerates, arkoses, grits, schists, quartzites, slates and phyllites in chronological sequence from bottom upwards. The Alwars rest unconformably over the Aravalli schists and phyllites, and are inverted in their stratigraphic sequence. The conglomerate consists of pebbles of granite, tourmaline, quartzite, vein quartz and fragments of phyllite and schist embeddl:d in a fine grained quartzo-felspathic matrix. The pebbles exhibit a wide variation in size and shape. A few pebbles are sheared to some extent. Shearing appears to be postdepositional in origin. Elongated shape of the pebbles seems to be inherited from the nature of weathering of the source rocks and post-depositional tectonic stretching.
Sedimentary structures like current and graded bedding are present in arkoses and quartzite. Statistical parameters of size distribution of these clastics, namely, the median, sorting coefficient, skewness and kurtosis are computed and interpreted.
Heavy grain residue obtained from the rocks under study contains zircon, rutile, ilmenite, kyanite, andalusite, sillimanite and fluorite. The source rocks of these sediments appear to be of mixed origin comprising orthoquartzites. low to high grade metamorphics and granite.

Palaeocurrent directions in sandstone around Jodhpur (Vindhyan or early Palaeozoic) were determined by measuring direction of cross-bedding, grain orientation, quartz 'c' axis orientation, and also with the help of asymmetrical ripples. A comparison was made of the results derived from these different methods. It was found that there is a fairly good agreement between the directions derived from the study of grain orientation, quartz 'c' axis orientation and cross-bedding. Usually asymmetrical ripples also agree and indicate the general direction of the palaeocurrent; hut occasionally asymmetrical ripples turn out to be climbing ripples and indicate a direction opposite to the true palaeocurrent direction. This paper attempts to correlate the results obtained by different methods and concludes that a fairly good correlation exists between the results obtained by different methods. The grain orientation studies indicate that there is an up-current imbrication of the elongate quartz grain a in general; but in the case of fore-set surface in the cross-bedded strata, they tend to be parallel to the fore-set bedding and therefore develop a down-current imbrication. It is also found that existence of climbing ripples may indicate the necessity of caution and should be used only to assess the depositional strike.- Structural Geometry and Strain History of the Early Proterozoic Aravalli Rocks of Gorimari, Udaipur District, Rajasthan

Detailed mapping and analyses of the structural elements from Gorimari revealed a complex structural geometry and deformation history of the rocks. Only two prominent planar structural elements have been observed i.e., the bedding schistosity (S0S1) and cleavage (S2). The earliest AF1 and the later AF2 folds on every scale are suggestive of reclined geometry. The strain analyses of AF1 and AF2 folds suggest their initiation by buckling and subsequent flattening resulting into class I C geometry. Some of the folds show a complex geometry which may be due to original layer irregularities or may be due to differential flattening because of the variation in thickness of single layer. The values of compressive apparent strain ratio varies from 0.1 to 1.0. Stratigraphically these rocks are equivalent to the Early Proterozoic rocks of Bagdunda. The grade of metamorphism is oflower amphibolite facies.Keywords

The paper reports the study of strain analysis on pebbles of a horizon of polymictic conglomerate belonging to the Debarn Formation of the Aravalli Super group. The variable shape geometry of pebbles observed in different parts of the conglomerate outcrops, which cover a long linear distance east of Udaipur, is indicative of heterogeneous superimposed stream on somewhat Non-Spherical initial bodies.Micro textural studies indicated a variety of strain forms in constituent grains of both pebble and matrix along with attendant recovery through Sub-Gram formation and recrystallisation. Mica grams in the matrix have acted as a strainpartitioning mineral.
The lattice preferred orientation of c-axes in quartz is comparable to partially developed Type I pattern developed in regions of coaxial deformation. The pattern has been influenced by strain a d dynamic recrystallisation. The slip planes that operated in the deformation of quartz grains varied from basal slips to prism slips Basal slips were dominant at low temperature and low strain regions in quartz while prism slips at moderately higher temperature and moderate strain. The variation in slip planes can be accounted by in homogeneous nature of deformation possibly due to difference in critically resolved shear stresses in the conglomerate.

In a modern and sustainable agriculture, the use of biofertilizers, soil amendments and suitable plant geometry with mechanization are eligible to increase plant production and to meet economic criteria to enhance soil fertility and to minimize environmental damage. A field experiment for consecutive two years i.e. 2014-16 and 2015-17 was conducted at research farm of Genda Singh Sugarcane Breeding and Research Institute, Seorahi, Kushinagar in autumn season to find out optimum plant geometry and nutrients management for efficient use of machinery with economics. The soil of the experimental plot was medium in organic carbon, medium in available phosphorus and low in potash with pH 8.2. The experiment consisting of four plant geometry i.e. S1 - 90 cm row spacing (conventional method), S2 - Trench planting in paired row at 120 (90:30) cm. S3 - Trench planting in paired row at 150 (120:30) cm. S4 - Trench planting in paired row at 180 (150:30) cm and two nutrient management practices i.e. F1 -100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics F2 - 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics and 25 % N through organic manures along with biofertilizers (Azotobacter + P.S.B. @ 10 kg/ha each) was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. On the basis of pooled data of two years, S2 treated plot produced significantly higher cane yield (104.72 t/ha) over other geometry operations. Gross income, net return (Rs. 175593/ha) and B: C ratios (1.50) were recorded significantly higher in S2 plant geometry treatment compared with remaining geometry treatments. Effect of nutrient management on gross return, net return, B: C ratio (1.44) and cane productivity (100.72 t/ha) were calculated significantly higher in 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through inorganics and 25 % N through organic manures along with biofertilizers (Azotobacter + P.S.B. @ 10 kg/ha treated plots (F2) but effects on plant height and cane length were non significant. Sucrose per cent was not affected significantly with different treatments of plant geometry and nutrient managements operations.Keywords
