Abstract

Comparative study of normal and quality planting stock of selected indigenous fuelwood and fodder tree species of sub-tropical region of Garhwal Himalaya was carried out for selection of suitable fuelwood and fodder tree species for higher biomass production. Based on the findings of the seed and growth characteristics, it is concluded that Grewia optiva, Bauhinia variegata and Albi ia lebbeck are the best suited tree species for plantations in the sub-tropical region of Garhwal Himalayas.

Abstract

A study on seed and growth characteristics of different fuelwood and fodder tree species of Garhwal Himalayas was carried out to find out the suitable species for higher biomass production on the basis between normal and quality planting stock. The data indicated that quality planting stock attained the maximum growth as compared to the normal planting stock. Species like Grewia optiva, Terminalia chebula, Ficus gibbosa, Albizia lebbek, Kydia calyciana and Bauhinia purpurea were better in terms of growth at the nursery stage and may be given priority under the fuelwood and fodder yielding tree species of the area.

Abstract

Field gene bank of Acacia nilotica of 55 progenies has been established and maintained at Bir Bhadsun (Punjab) for conservation and future breeding programme. Seeds were collected from all 55 progenies of 9 provenances of three states viz., Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh covering its natural distribution zone. Seeds were sun dried and their characters (seed length, seed width and seed thickness) were measured. Maximum and minimum seed length, seed width and seed thickness were obtained from Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab Provenance respectively. Seeds were sown in the trays at Plant Physiology Nursery, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun. The highest germination percentage has been found in Pinjore Road, Haryana provenance. After germination the seedlings were shifted in the polybags filled with sand, soil and farmyard manure in 2:1:1 ratio and kept in the nursery for growth. After one year the seedlings of all the 55 progenies were then transplanted in the field at Bir Bhadsan (Patiala, Punjab) in about 2 ha land following Randomized Block Design (simple pair design ). The data on growth and survival were recorded at the six month and five year old seedlings after transplanting in the field. Significant variation was observed among all the progenies of all observed characters. The best average growth (after six months of planting) was observed in the Roop Nagar (Punjab), progenies whereas, minimum growth was observed in the progenies of Bhadsun Nabha Road (Punjab). However, the maximum average growth (after five years of planting) was observed in the Kurali Naraingarh (Punjab), Pinjore Road (Haryana), and the minimum was observed in the progenies of Rajpura (Himachal) and Nalagarh Road (H.P.).

Abstract

The ischolar_maining response of juvenile shoot cuttings (mononodal cuttings) of Terminalia chebula was studied to develop a mass propagation protocol for cloning the desired genotypes. The effect of ischolar_maining hormones was observed for five concentrations (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 ppm) of IBA, IAA and NAA. The maximum ischolar_maining response was observed in case of IBA 4000 ppm (55%) treated cuttings followed by IBA and IAA 3000 ppm (35%) treatments. Only 25 per cent ischolar_maining was observed in case of cuttings without treatment (control). The maximum main ischolar_main length was observed in IBA 1000 and IBA 4000 (8.22 cm) followed by NAA 4000 and NAA 5000.

Abstract

A clonal evaluation trial in clonal seed orchard of twenty-three promising clones of Dalbergia sissoo was established at Pindori Mindo Mind, Hoshiarpur (Punjab) in 1996. The same trial was estimated for the identification of outstanding clones for mass multiplication and field development of this species. The clones from Gonda, UP had overall better performance with an exception of Clone 12 of Pathri, Haridwar, Uttaranchal. Clones from Hanumanghar (Rajasthan) and Yamunanagar (Haryana) performed poorly. The clones 192, 204, 232, and 66 (Gonda, U.P.) and 12 (Pathri, Haridwar, Uttaranchal) were not only high performers but also had better adaptability to this location and therefore, recommended for mass clonal multiplication for future plantation in Punjab. On the basis of growth performance and heritability estimates, height, GBH and clear bole were found to be genetically controlled traits and could be considered reliable for selection for further improvement programmes. It would ensure establishment of healthy and disease resistant vegetative multiplication garden and CSOs with high performers for regular supply of quality planting stock in Dalbergia sissoo.

Abstract

Exogenous application of different concentrations of IAA, IBA, NAA, 2,4-D and thiamine wasw tried to propagate vegetatively the three valuable fodder tree species (viz. Ficus roxburghii, F.cunia and F.gibbosa) of Himalayan farm forestry system. Significant ischolar_maining of branch cuttings was achieved in the lower concentrations of IBA and IAA (100ppm) after 12 weeks of treatment. The application of lower concentrations of auxins have also favoured the number of sprouts and number of lateral ischolar_mains in all the three species, whereas, the ischolar_main length was prolific in lower concentrations of IBA, IAA (Ficus roxburghii and Ficus cunia) and 2,4-D and thiamine (Ficus gibbosa).

Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of chemical treatment (IBA) on ischolar_maining, primary ischolar_main number and ischolar_main length of the cuttings of Himalayan evergreen oak (Quercus leucotrichohora Camus). A significant variation at P<0.05 level was observed on mean ischolar_maining percentage in two concentrations % IBA. The per cent ischolar_maining and primary ischolar_main numbers improved markedly upon application of both concentrations. Maximum per cent ischolar_maining (36) was recorded in cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm followed by (28) IBA 2000 ppm, while it was only 24 per cent ischolar_maining in control (cuttings treated with telicam powder only). Primary ischolar_main number was also maximum in the cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm.

Abstract

Progressive farmers of Punjab and the adjoining states have adopted agroforestry intensively keeping in view its good economic returns by growing trees in conjunction with agricultural crops on field boundaries and as inter-culture with field crops. The present paper deals with the economics of growing Populus deltoides Bartr. ex.-Marsh on farm lands in Punjab. otal area under poplar plantation in Punjab, mostly agroforestry, is estimated to be 75,000 ha and is steadily increasing. Poplar-based agroforestry in Punjab is economically viable and more profitable to the farmers than -1 many other crop rotations. The bole biomass was found to vary with site, ranging from 19.8 t ha at 8 years on average -1 sites to 36.2 t ha on excellent (site quality I) sites. The biomass of branches, twigs, bark and ischolar_mains would be in addition to these values.

Abstract

Indopiptadenia oudhensis is monotypic, endemic species to western Himalaya and endangered throughout the region. Phyto-sociological analysis of the trees, shrubs and herbs in Champawat Forest Division, Uttarakhand was done and density, diversity index, Importance Value Index etc. were determined for the sites. Higher number of individuals in lower girth classes indicate good regeneration status in the study area.
