Abstract

To evolve a promising cropping system which reduced run-off, soil loss and increases total production under marginal rainfed lands of Doon Valley and lower Himalayan region, ragilentil and kodomillet-lentil systems with and without vegetative barriers were constructed and tested at 2% sloping experimental field. The treatments were monitored for run-off, soil loss and productiou parameters. It was observed that incorporation of perennial Pigeonpea hedge rows in the cropping systems reduced the run-off and soil loss but significantly increased total production and net returns.

Abstract

Statistical computation on seed traits and germination of the provenances revealed the existence of genetic variability. The correlation between different pairs of characters were determined and observed highly significant. The multiple regression equation using step-down regression techriique revealed that the seed length and lOO-seed weight might be used as the predictors of germination in Grewia optiva.
