An experiment on the influence of tree cover on physical properties of soil was carried out at Instructional Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari (Gujarat) under twelve-years old plantation during the year 2002-2003. The experiment was laid out in FCRD with eleven treatments viz., Arjun (Terminalia arjuna), Hed (Adina cordifolia), Teak (Tectona grandis), Sharu (Casuarina equisetifolia), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus tereticornis), Sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo), Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus), Biyo (Pterocarpus marsupium), Killai (Albizia procera), Khair (Acacia catechu) and control (open field) with three replications. The soil samples were collected from three depths (0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm). Maximum improvement in physical characteristics of soil viz., particle density, bulk density, porosity, and water holding capacity were recorded under D. sissoo plantation and observed in upper layer (0-30 cm) of soil.Keywords

The world continues to seek economically and environmentally sound alternatives to fossil fuel-based transportation of fuels and power. Energy crop Jatropha curcus L provide an attractive combination of high yield density, high net energy balances, low input requirements and has potential to be tailored for specific production and refining processes. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pruning and fertilizer on growth and yield of Jatropha curcas L. There were three pruning intensities viz., P (No pruning), P (45 cm) and P (60 cm) and four levels of fertilizer 0 1 2 -1 -1 -1 viz., F (No fertilizer), F (60:60:60 g NPK plant ), F (80:80:80 g NPK plant ) and F (100:100:100 g NPK plant ). A clear 0 1 2 3 decreasing trend was observed from F to F in almost parameters under study. Interaction effect between intensities of 3 0 pruning and levels of fertilizer was found non significant in all growth parameters of Jatropha curcus L. From this study -1 the significant yield increased by P (60 cm) pruning and F (100:100:100 g NPK plant ) level of fertilizer gave best result 2 3 for getting higher yield and vegetative growth of Jatropha curcas L.Keywords

Molecular variations among different accessions 15 Jatropha curcas accessions were carried out. The RAPD analysis of accessions showed that the five decamer primers produced a total of 27 scorable bands. Out of them 18 were polymorphic and 9 were monomorphic. The percentage of polymorphism ranged from maximum 77.78 % showed by OPF-08 to a minimum of 60.00 % by OPF-3, OPF-5 and OPF-10. Lowest genetic similarity (0.333) was observed between accessions No. 9 and 1 and 9 and 3 and the highest genetic similarity (1.000) was among various accessions including 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The dendrogram of fifteen accessions reflected that at a similarity level of 70.00 %, the accessions were divided in two clusters. The accession No. 9 was found in second cluster having minimum similarity within other accessions whereas rests of accessions were laid in first cluster.Keywords
