Traditional vegetation techniques to control rill-gully erosion rely mainly on the effects of above ground biomass; whereas little attention has been given to the role of below ground biomass i.e. ischolar_mains system. Yet, in a context where above ground biomass may temporally or specially disappear (e.g. due to temperature or over grazing), ischolar_mains can play an important role in soil erosion rates. This paper presents a methodology to assess the suitability of grass ischolar_mains for rill-gully erosion control and its application to 8 grass species, representative for a semi-arid lateritic rolling environment in western part of West Bengal, India. In this analysis determination of suitable grass species for controlling concentrated flow erosion is based on a multi-criteria analysis. First, two main criteria are determined, i.e. (i) the high potential of grass ischolar_mains to prevent incision by concentrated flow erosion, (ii) the potential of resist to bending by water flow. Then an indicator was used to assess the scores for the two criteria. In total three indicators are selected, i.e. RD, RLD, and RAR. The scores for the indicators are represented on triangulation diagrams. Among the experimental grass species, Eragrostis cynosuroides grass ischolar_mains are found to be more suitable than other species for rill-gully erosion control in lateritic badland topography.

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds were pretreated with aqueous solutions of Na-DK and Chlorocholine chloride (100 μg ml-1 each) for 4 hours before accelerated ageing treatment (100% RH and 32±2°C) for different durations (0 and 30 days). Potted plants raised from the pretreated seeds showed better performance, measured in terms of some vital physiological and biochemical parameters. The promising effects of the experimental chemicals on enhancement of plant potential are apparent in this investigation.Keywords

Availability of an adequate supply of crop seeds of uniform high quality is essential for a successful seed industry and maintenance of viable and productive agriculture. Deterioration of seed quality of plant cultivars and germplasm is recognized as a major problem contributing to increased cost of production. Unfortunately, storing of seeds is a serious problem in tropical and subtropical countries where high temperature and high relative humidity (RH) greatly accelerate seed ageing phenomenon causing consequent deterioration and non-viability of seeds(Basu,1994;Pati and Bhattacharjee,2013;Pati et al.,2018). The problem of retention of seed vigor in many states of India is much more acute because of its semiarid climate where high relative humidity prevailing during the major part of a year is very conducive to the growth of microorganisms, particularly fungi. The changes of these two environmental factors strongly impair seed and seedling health and cause to reduce percent seed germinability and seedling performance at a rapid rate (Sakai et al., 2000; Reed, 2001; Hao et al.,2001; Pati,2019).References
