Rainfall event on a tree can be partitioned into throughfall, interception loss and stemflow. In this study, stemflow was measured for 39 rainfall events in 5-year-old plantations of 3 trees each, belonging to Morus alba and Grewia optiva in Dehradun, India. Diameter of selected Morus and Grewia trees varies from 7 to 9.3 and 8.12 to 10 cm respectively, whereas height varies from 4 to 4.5 and 5.5 to 6.5 m respectively. The minimum and maximum rainfall events recorded during the study period were 1.01 and 121.70 mm per day respectively. When the rainfall magnitude was less than or equal to 50 mm and more than 50 mm, stemflow volume from Morus was approximately 2.72 and 1.85 fold higher respectively, compared to Grewia. Maximum stemflow volume recorded for Morus and Grewia was 48,065 and 30,633 ml with respect to rainfall magnitude of 109.58 and 121.70 mm respectively. The generation of higher stemflow volume in case of Morus is due to concave orientation of branches and leaves. Results showed that a significant amount of nutrients leached from Grewia and Morus through stemflow process.Keywords

Effect of sodicity on clay dispersion in salt-affected black soils of the Kabini canal command area in Chamrajnagar district, southern Karnataka was studied. Forty-eight soil samples were collected from nine soil profiles and analysed for physical and chemical properties. The clay dispersion ranged from 0.57% to 62.1%. High positive and negative correlations with exchangeable sodium and exchangeable calcium respectively, with clay dispersion were recorded, which can be predicted better with exchangeable sodium and available soil water. Based on clay dispersion value, 2%, 27% and 71% soils are dispersive, intermediate dispersive and non-dispersive respectively. Based on exchangeable sodium percentage, 50, 21 and 29 soils are dispersive, intermediate dispersive and nondispersive respectively. Application of gypsum and organics reduces the clay dispersion in surface soil. Sub-surface drainage will be more effective. Construction of soil and water conservation structures with pile foundation; providing cement lining for soil stabilization in normal construction; providing drainage lines for the structures; construction after refilling with non-dispersive soil will save the structures in salt-affected soils.Keywords

Effective utilization of land and water resources is attempted in the present study through an integrated farming system and multi-objective optimization management framework model using goal programming algorithm in a coastal waterlogged paddy area in Odisha, India. A methodology is developed to identify the water harvesting structure locations in the study area using spatial science tool. Due to the uncertainty of parameters and control variables, development of management framework was considered with 85% and 75% probability of rainfall occurrence and runoff generation. To incorporate the uncertainties, a multi-objective linear goal programming optimization model is developed considering the objective of maximizing the net annual return and production subject to optimal allocation of land. While evaluating the model for different water resources scenarios, the net annual return is found to be Rs 4,343,474 and maximum production is 10,424 q from scenario I, whereas maximum production of 10,980 q is obtained in scenario II. Tomato and rice cultivation area increased from 11.47 to 21.43 ha and 8.82 to 10.48 ha respectively in scenario II. The developed methodology shows the potential applicability in similar farming situations in other areas.Keywords

To meet the demand of food, fodder, fuel and fibre for the ever-increasing population of the world, achieving higher land and water productivity of a parcel of land is a major challenge. For this, site-specific cropping system plan and land-use system based on basic soil and terrain information are a prerequisite. With the advent of remote sensing and geospatial technique, collection of point data and their spatial interpolation on watershed basis is possible in quick time, which can be used for site-specific cropping system planning. In this study, site-specific cropping system and profitable land-use plan were prepared for a watershed of eastern India (Darpanarayanpur, Nayagarh district, Odisha) using geospatial technique. Drainage analysis revealed that prominent drainage pattern was dendritic with low drainage density which indicates that the watershed region has subsoil with high permeability and low relief and, accordingly, rainwater harvesting structures have been suggested in the watershed.Keywords
