The existing fodder and fuelwood scenario in Semi-Arid Tropics entails large scale plantation on lands unsuitable for cultivation, including community lands which are open to biotic interferences. This study presents the results of afforestation programme carried out during 1985-86 through 1988-89 in the Navamota Watershed in terms of financial implications of present Forest Department Policy to open the plantation area for community after five years.

A detailed phytosociological analysis of woody species of Chakrata forest at twelve different sites supporting seven tree species viz., Cedrus deodara, Pinus roxburghii, Picea smithlana, Pinus wollichiona, Quercus florihunda, Q. semicarpifolia and Abies pindrow was carried out. Their total basal cover varied between 1455 and 5672 cm2 100 m-2 and total density from 0.7 to 3.7 trees 100 m-2. The distribution pattern was random for most of the species. The species diversity was greatest in Pinus wallichlana forests followed by Quercus floribunda forests. However, the values of concentration of dominance, exhibited inverse relationship with the species diversity.- Corchorus pseudo-olitorius Islam & Zid, Emend, H. B.

An experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of a Trichoderma harzianum formulation on the wilt disease of cumin caused by Fusarium oxysporum f, sp. cumini and crop yield. The results showed that in Trichoderma seed treatment plots, percent wilt disease was 9.2 to 23.8 and 8.5 to 21.4 compared to 68.3 and 69.67 in control during first and second years of experiment, respectively. In Trichoderma treatment the yield recorded was 6.17 to 6.73 and 6.33 to 6.89 q/ha compared to 4.39 and 4.73 q/ha in untreated control during first and second years of experiment, respectively. The application also did not lead to any phytotoxic symptoms on the host plants.Keywords

Review of Professional Management- A Journal of New Delhi Institute of Management, Vol 10, No 1 (2012), Pagination: 33-39Abstract
Banks in their effort to satisfy the client's needs, successfully focus on mortgage products. With the development of increasingly complex mortgage instruments, it has become important to consider the process by which the consumer chooses among these instruments. The real estate literature does not address how the customer of mortgage instruments make trade-offs among the different instruments. An attempt has been made to analyze the behavior of customers who have taken home loans on the basis of viewpoints of bankers who have been involved in granting the loans. Results of this survey point out that the Price of the service offered has been the major competitive advantage in the market of home loan as it is the major choice criterion for customers besides Customer Relationship Management, Customized Product Features, Marketing Strategies, Tax Benefit, Age-Tenure Relationship and all these factors that together contribute to the formation of competitive advantage for a Bank.Keywords

Review of Professional Management- A Journal of New Delhi Institute of Management, Vol 7, No 1 (2009), Pagination: 59-64Abstract
With the impending liberalization of the financial market, India has emerged as a major investment destination, both in terms of size and choice, in the mutual fund industry. The Indian Financial sector has witnessed entry of various global players, who are trying to attract the Indian consumers with well-designed products and benefits. This paper surveys the relative importance of factors considered important in the selection of mutual funds by investors in Indian financial market. Using the technique of Factor Analysis this study identifies five factors which describes the consumer preferences and revealed that Past performance. Core product features; Expense ratio, Risk-Return tradeoff and Liquidity are the important factors while evaluating a mutual fund scheme. The result of this survey points out that a discrete product design along with features expected by investors will make the mutual fund schemes more attractive.Full Text

Nickel (Ni) and cadmium (Cd) are two important environmental contaminants and have detrimental effects on ecosystems and are a risk to human health as they can enter the food chain via agricultural products or contaminated drinking water. Agricultural soils in many parts of the world are moderately contaminated by Ni and Cd due to mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, industrial waste, mineral fertilizers, pesticides, vehicle exhausts and municipal sewage sludge. The remediation of heavy metals contaminated environments is a challenging task because these elements are not degradable and once entering the soil, they can persist for a longer time. Traditional methods used for the removal of heavy metals from the environment are, in general, expensive and potentially risky due to the possibility of the generation of hazardous by-products. Phytoremediation, a sustainable and inexpensive technology based on the removal of pollutants including Ni and Cd from the environment by plants, is a burning issue in plant research. However, as phytoremediation is a slow process, improvement of efficiency and thus increased stabilization or removal of these heavy metals from soils is an important goal. Efficiency of removal can be improved by mediation through arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations which are integral and functioning parts of plant ischolar_mains, as enhancing plant growth on severely disturbed sites, including those contaminated with heavy metals in particular Ni and Cd. They are reported to be present on the ischolar_mains of plants growing on heavy metal contaminated soils and play an important role in metal tolerance and accumulation. AM fungi act as a filtration barrier against transfer of heavy metals to plant shoots. The protection and enhanced capability of uptake of minerals result in greater biomass production, which is an important criteria for successful remediation. Isolation of the indigenous and presumably stress-adapted AM fungi can be a potential biotechnological tool for inoculation of plants in order to guarantee the effectiveness of AM symbiosis in the restoration of contaminated soils. Ni and Cd tolerant AM fungi like Glomus mosseae, Glomus tenue and Gigaspora spp. could protect plants against the harmful effects of metals.Keywords
