Indian Forester, Vol 126, No 6 (2000), Pagination: 657-663Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine physico-chemical properties and fertility status of some forest nursery soils of District Sirmour in Himachal Pradesh_ Analysis of surface and sub-surface soil samples collected from the nurseries was carried out. The soil pH was found neutral and electrical conductivity was in safe limits (less than 0.8 dsm-1). The CEC values ranged between 7.1-16.8 cmol/kg soil and were higher in surface soils as compared to sub-surface soils. Organic carbon status was rated medium, while available N, P and K were categorized as low to medium, high and medium, respectively. Available Ca and Mg were in adequate amounts and SO4-S was found high. In order to have healthy nursery seedlings, there is a need to apply recommended doses of chemical fertilizers in conjunction with organic manures, however, phosphatic fertilizer application can be reduced by 25 percent of recommended dose.- Comparative Study of Memory Deficits in first Episode Schizophrenia, Chronic Schizophrenia and Non-Patient Group

Objectives: The high computing demands leads to high communication between the various cores on the chips. This leads to the exploration of various topologies. The Mesh based topologies are widely accepted due to simplicity. This mesh topology is modified with objective to reduce inter node distance. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Proposed topology has been generated as the union of the Diagonal connected mesh and T Mesh. To test the performance the proposed topology that is Diagonal connected T mesh is compared with diagonal connected mesh and T Mesh. To test the performance of the topology static routing algorithm is used. The various traffic patterns have been used for the analysis of latency and bandwidth. Findings: The proposed topology has performed better in comparison to Diagonal connected Mesh and T Mesh in case of Uniform traffic and Bit Complement traffic. In case of tornado traffic results are identical to that of Diagonal connected mesh. The hop count analysis shows that there is always a positive improvement. Average Hop count of the diagonal Connected T mesh is 87% less than that of it counterpart. This makes the proposed proved to be better than the existing topologies. Application/Improvements: The proposed topology for network on chip will always be suitable for the applications in which the communication is either uniform among the nodes or is communicating to the nodes having complement traffic match.Keywords

Lettuce is a popular salad vegetable in European countries. In India its demand is also increasing. It is not possible to grow salad vegetables under open environmental conditions due to vagaries of weather. The state government in Himachal Pradesh (India) is promoting polyhouse cultivation in a very big way. But the lack of suitable cultivars under polyhouse conditions is the biggest challenge to the growers of the hilly state. Therefore, in the present study seven genotypes of lettuce viz. Red Butter Head (G1), Ice-berg (G2), Revolution (G3), Dublin (G4), Garishma (G5), Bergamo (G6) and Green Romaine (G7) were evaluated in a 36 x 6 m modified naturally ventilated polyhouse having fan pad system. Maximum gross weight (826.6 g/plant) was recorded in G2 which was statistically at par with G4 (791.6 g/plant). Minimum gross weight per plant was found in G7 (18836 g). Maximum net weight/plant was recorded in G7 (631.3 g) which was statistically at par with G2 (578.3 g), G4 (583.6 g), G5 (458.6 g) and G6 (480.3 g). Lettuce genotypes also varied in quality parameters viz. chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll, starch, reducing, non-reducing and total sugars and sodium content.Keywords

Grafting is an alternative approach used in vegetable production to fight against soil-borne diseases such as Fusarium wilt, bacterial wilt and nematodes since 1920s in Japan and Korea. Grafting as a technology for the commercial production was later on adopted by many countries in Europe, Middle East, Northern Africa, Central America and other parts of Asia. For the production of many fruit-bearing vegetables which include watermelon, cucumber, melon, tomato, eggplant and pepper, grafted seedlings were used. These seedlings besides providing resistance against biotic/abiotic stresses, increase the yield of the cultivars. This technique is considered eco-friendly for sustainable vegetable production because the resistant ischolar_mainstock reduces dependence on agrochemicals. Grafting improves quality of the plant and is used to induce resistance against low and high temperatures. Growth, yield and fruit quality of the scion is greatly influenced by the type of ischolar_mainstock used. Due to high post graft mortality of seedlings, this technology is still in infancy in India. For its commercial application in India, sharpening of grafting skills and healing environment need to be standardized.Keywords

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. grossum Sendt.) is an important commercial crop grown under protected condition in Himachal Pradesh. Being long duration under protected environment, it is the principle money spinner off-season crop. Production of bell pepper under protected conditions in the state is very low as compared to the National and International levels because of lack of suitable Cultivars and hybrids resistant to bacterial wilt. Among biotic stresses bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the most devastating disease under protected as well as open field conditions in mid hills of HP which reduces yield of capsicum to very low levels. Numerous attempts have been made to develop bacterial wilt resistant varieties, but till date no resistant hybrid is available. The best option to overcome this problem is grafting scions of horticulturally superior hybrids on resistant ischolar_mainstocks. The study revealed that chilli ischolar_mainstock PI-201232 was the most suitable bacterial wilt resistant ischolar_mainstock of bell pepper whereas; brinjal ischolar_mainstocks were not suitable for bell pepper scions.Keywords

There is only one good example in the past when a state of India took the initiative to create, virtually out of nothing, a tourism Industry. This was the Haryana in 1970s, which led an imaginative drive to transform the state into a place attractive for tourists. Haryana which pioneered the concept of Highway tourism in the country now hold several feathers of Golf, Eco, Farm, MICE and Medical tourism in its cap of tourism. This paper focuses on the different innovative ideas taken by the state of Haryana for developing and improving tourism products. Thus, this paper is going to explore different forms and positioning of tourism products in Haryana along with Tourism Policy 2008 in which several innovative steps were proposed to be taken.

This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of J. P. Das's PASS Reading Enhancement Program (PREP) in reading and spelling deficits and among PASS processes of children with reading disabilities. A sample of 140 students (9-12 years), 70 in control group and 70 in experimental group were tested on Wide Range Achievement Test 4 (WRAT 4) and Das Battery of Cognitive Assessment System in pre and post test conditions. Reading disabled children were diagnosed as scoring below 16th percentile on particular WRAT 4 and CAS subtest. The experimental group received PREP remedial intervention for 4 months and was retested on a parallel form of WRAT 4 and CAS. Results revealed that control group did not differ in pre- and post-test conditions in any of the areas of reading, spelling, and PASS processes. However, the experimental group recorded remarkable improvement in reading, spelling and simultaneous and successive synthesis (p<.001). The findings provide an evidence for the validity of PREP in improving upon these areas of deficit among reading disabled children.Keywords

Chilli plants showing severe mosaic mottling on foliage and bud necrosis symptoms, were collected from different locations around Faizabad and the causal virus was purified. The purified virus samples reacted only with polyclonal antiserum raised against coat protein (cp) of Tobacco streak virus (TSV) isolate from India (TSV- SF) in direct antigen coated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The identity of the causal virus associated with chilli bud necrosis was further confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and sequence analysis. The CP gene was amplified and sequenced. The CP gene was 717 nucleotides long and could encode a protein of 238 amino acids. Comparative amino acid sequence analysis revealed that the virus infected chilli shared maximum identity both at nucleotide (98-99%) and amino acids (98%) levels with the corresponding region of TSV isolates.Keywords

An inter-specific tomato-potato graft study was undertaken in a naturally ventilated quonset polyhouse at Palampur during the autumn and winter seasons 2015. The treatments comprised of combination of two tomato hybrids [Avtar-7711 (S1) and GS-600 (S2)] as scions, three potato cultivars viz. Kufri Himsona (V1), Kufri Himalini (V2) and Kufri Giriraj (V3) as ischolar_mainstocks and two grafting methods viz. tongue grafting (G1) and cleft grafting (G2). GS-600 tongue grafted on Kufri Himalini (V2G1S2) resulted in maximum survival of grafted plants (93.25%) as well as grafting success rate (81.68%). Kufri Himalini (V2) was found to be the best ischolar_mainstock for tomato scions which gave 2 maximum survival of grafted plants (87.89%) as well as grafting success rate (76.59%). Cleft grafting (G2) resulted in maximum survival of grafted plants (84.13%) and grafting success rate (72.95%). Tomato scion GS-600 (S2) was found to be the best scion for potato ischolar_mainstocks which resulted in a significantly higher survival of grafted plants (85.72%) and grafting success rate (73.85%) as well. Kufri Himalini+GS- 600 was the best ischolar_mainstock-scion combination giving maximum survival of grafted plants and grafting success rate irrespective of the grafting methods used. It is also concluded from the study that irrespective of the ischolar_mainstocks and grafting methods employed, scion GS-600 (S2 always had better survival in grafted plants and a significantly higher grafting success rate at least for the three best performing treatments and grafting tomato on potato plants in compatible combinations had a significant impact on their survival.Keywords

In the present era, individuals are always in a race of grabbing opportunities for growth, looking for demands and to fulfill those demands they face challenges at their workplaces. The demands sometimes work as the stressors and it produces a stress for an individual. A sample of 149 (n=149) IT professionals were taken from different organizations within tricity, that is, Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Mohali. Four tools namely, Technostress by Ragu-Nathan and Ragu-Nathan (2002) Job Satisfaction Instrument by Mishra, Tiwari, and Pandey (1977) Job Performance Questionnaire by Shokrkon and Arshadi (1990) and Mental Health Inventory by Jagdish and Srivastava (1996) were administered on the sample for the data collection. The findings of the present study have statistically analyzed the data by using correlation, t-test and regression. The t-test has shown a significant difference in technostress (t=2.070,0.05 level) and females found to have more technostress than males. There is a significant difference in mental health(t=2.573,0.05 level) where males are found to have good mental health than females. The result has also shown a significant and negative correlation between technostress and job satisfaction (r=0.255, 0.01 level) and also a negatively significant correlation between technostress and job performance (r=0.333, 0.01 level). The regression has shown a low level of technostress predicting job satisfaction (R square=6.5%),job performance (R square=ll.l%)and mental health(R square=2.2%).Keywords

The study empirically examines the pricing efficiency of CPSE ETF in India, listed on National Stock Exchange (NSE). The study covers a period of three years i.e. from 1st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2017. For the purpose of analysis the study employs different statistical tools. Simple linear regression is used to test the relationship between NAV of ETF and price of ETF. Further rupee difference and percentage difference is calculated to find out the price deviation i.e. premium/discount. Descriptive statistics were also used for the purpose of analysis. The regression result suggests a very close relationship between the NAV of CPSE ETF and its market price. During the study period, on average CPSE ETF was traded at discount. But the discount was economically insignificant and does not provide arbitrage opportunity to the market participant. It was concluded that market for CPSE ETF is price efficient.Keywords

This paper frames the subject of this special issue the development of social and emotional competence in early childhood. Teachers and parents support healthy social emotional and cultural development. In this paper we focused on ages 1-9 years because in this period normal social emotional progress facilitates children. Early childhood activities and experiences set the stage for healthy mind and healthy learning. There are different dimensions to develop social emotional competence during early childhood e.g., self esteem self confidence, self control, morality, characterization, communication skills, adjustment skills, patience etc. The processes of developing these dimensions are based on nurturing, heredity and environment. Many psychologists are divided early childhood in different stages with specific age groups. According to psychologists children who have experiences such as these are able to recognize their and other emotions and able to adjust with different societies. Our study is based on scientific methodology which is related to different experiments of psychologists.Keywords

To evaluate the effect of potassium, zinc and boron on wheat productivity, the present investigation was undertaken at the experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. The experiment comprised of sixteen treatments with four levels of K (0,50,100 andl50% of recommended dose), two levels of Zn (0 and 101^ ha ‘) and two levels of B (0 and 1 kg ha-1) in factorial randomized block design. Application of K @ 50,100 and 150 % of recommended dose increased plant height, dry matter accumulation, total and effective tillers per metre row length, grains per ear and test weight significantly. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) and B (1 kg ha-1) influenced the growth and yield attributes of wheat significantly. Highest grain (42.52q ha ‘) and straw (66.80q ha ‘) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 % of recommended dose of potassium. Application of 150 % of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 44 and 47 % over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 11 and 10 % over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 %, respectively.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to study the response of growing media and various concentrations of IBA and cow urine on ischolar_main parameters viz., number of days to ischolar_main initiation, number of ischolar_mains per cutting, ischolar_main length (cm) and survival percentage of the stem cuttings (%). Root formation was significantly earlier in the cuttings treated with RH1C2G2 (RHl = IBA, C2 = 100 ppm and G2 = SoU) and CUCIGI (CU = Cow urine, Cl = 5% and G1 = SoiUess) i.e. 4.67 days than the non treated tomato stem cuttings. Maximum number of ischolar_mains per cutting (27.67) and longer ischolar_main length (8.73 cm) were obtained from treatment RH1C3G2 (RHl = IBA, C3 = 150 ppm and G2 = Soil). All treatments showed a significant increase in all the ischolar_main parameters except survival percentage of the stem cuttings (%).Keywords

The present investigation was carried out at experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSK HPKV, Palampur with sixteen treatments consisting of four levels of K (0, 50,100 and 150% of recommended dose), two levels of Zn (0 and 10 kg ha-1) and two levels of B (0 and 1 kg ha-1) . Highest grain (42.52q ha-1) and straw (66.80 q ha-1) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 per cent of recommended dose of wheat. Application of 150 per cent of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 43.7 and 46.9 per cent over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1) increased grain and straw yield by 10.9 and 9.8 per cent over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1) was 5.6 and 6.3 per cent, respectively. Application of K increased K, Zn and B contents significantly at maximum tillering and harvesting. Application of Zn increased Zn and B contents significantly at both the stages. However, B increased the contents of Zn and B only at maximum tillering stage and at harvesting (grain and straw). Almost similar effects of K, Zn and B application on total nutrient uptake were observed. Application of Zn increased partial factor productivity, physiological efficiency, agronomic efficiency and apparent recovery. Boron application increased partial factor productivity and apparent recovery only.Keywords

Classical Approaches originated in the late of 19th Century and one of the oldest approaches; which represents traditional thoughts in management and based on the prototype industrial and military organization. The classical writers included Taylor, Fayol, Weber, Gullick, and Urwick, Mooney and Reiley and others and all they placed emphasis on work planning, the technical requirements, principles of management, formal structure, and the assumption of rational and logical behaviour, industrial management, including specialization, efficiency, higher quality, cost reduction and management-worker relationships. F.W. Taylor insisted on application of scientific methods to the problems of management. Henri Fayol suggested fourteen principles of management and their universal application. Max Weber introduced rationality in organisation, division of labour, specialization, structure, personnel competency, etc. Management is the study of managerial experiences. Classical treated organisation as a closed system. They ignored the element of human beings. Principles and functions of management have universal application. The study has been assessing the extent of applications of these theories in modern business scenario and analyzes relevance of these theories in organizations. The research paper is of descriptive in nature and assesses the impact of classical approaches on the current organizational practices. The study realized that organization must have to understand, accommodate, embrace and promote people dynamics to achieve production efficiency and effectively. Organizations should also review periodically their rules, regulations and manuals to ensure current trends in the business environment. Finally, that organization should allow for initiative, innovations and workers participation in decision making. The study evaluated current level of waste and labour turnover, layoff of workers, slow pace of growth and closure are caused by the application of the theories in management practice of the organizations.Keywords

Objectives: Improvement in the functional performance and biocompatibility of biomedical implants using different bioactive materials and coating techniques. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The requirement of bio activity, biocompatibility with proficient mechanical properties without immune rejection for long lasting implants and bone substitutes is a tremendous challenge. These bone substitute structures ought to be set up for individual patients with all details controlled on the micrometer level. Findings: The metallic implants (Ti-alloys, Co-alloy and Stainless steel) utilized by researchers to investigate bone fractures and imperfections are unsuccessful to perform in biomedical applications as they failed to build required bond with living bone. The scientists proposed combining the bio activity of bioactive materials and excellent mechanical properties of metals by depositing bio active materials on metal base material. Application/Improvements: Many methods like plasma spraying, thermal spraying, pulsed laser ablation, sputter coating, etc., were utilized to efficiently coat bioactive materials on metal base. In this paper, we will review the bioactive materials including different methods utilized in depositing bio-ceramics and effect of cryogenic processing on biomedical implants.References

Capsicum hybrid Mekong was grown under naturally ventilated polyhouse during summer season of 2012 atVegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. Planting was done in two rows on 0.9 m wide bed leaving 60 cm path between two beds following the spacing of 60 cm × 30 cm (S1) and 45 cm × 30 cm (S2), with double (T1), three (T2) and four (T3) stems and fertilized (F1) twice a week and (F2) thrice a week. The data were analyzed statistically following Factorial Randomized BlockDesign. The result revealed that the plant height, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth, pericarp thickness were significantly more in S1T1F2 treatment. The number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant, yield/ m2 and benefit cost ratio was significantly superior in S1T3F2 treatment. While there was no significant effect of spacing, training and fertigation levels on days to 50 per cent flowering, days to first harvest, harvest duration and shelf life at room temperature.Keywords

Present investigation was carried out for two successive years i.e. 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the performance of grafted tomato with respect to growth, yield and quality of tomato under polyhouse conditions at Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. Sixteen different ischolar_mainstocks of tomato were grafted with scion cultivar 'GS-600'. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and cleft grafting method was used. Plants grafted on ischolar_mainstock LS-89 proved superior to other ischolar_mainstocks for days to first flowering and days to first harvest. For prolonged harvest duration plants grafted on tomato ischolar_mainstock Green Gourd found superior. Higher yield in terms of number of marketable fruits per plant, marketable fruit yield per plant and marketable fruit yield per square metre in were recorded plants grafted on tomato ischolar_mainstock Green Gourd.Keywords

Stock market returns and the capital flow of funds in the mutual funds have been universally understood to be interlinked. The prevailing more and more contribution of the mutual funds in the stock market, on the one hand, and the profound impact of rising stock market returns on getting higher investments in mutual funds, on the other, have undoubtedly made the relationship between share market and mutual fund flows to be of prime significance for the key participants and other stakeholders of both the markets. In this published research paper, the academic researcher attempts assessing the prominent presence of any association between the stock market returns and mutual fund assets under management in India by employing the multiple regression analysis. It has been reasonably concluded that there is no significant evidence of the presence of any such relationships in Indian markets during the period of study.Keywords

Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial disease, is a severe obstacle to the production of solanaceous vegetables in both tropical and temperate regions. A total of nine major vegetables growing districts viz., Kangra, Hamirpur, Solan, Sirmour, Kullu, Shimla, Mandi and Bilaspur were surveyed in the month of June-July, 2019 to know the status of bacterial wilt of solanaceous vegetables in term of its incidence. A significant variation was observed in term of bacterial wilt incidence among the major vegetables growing areas surveyed. The highest wilt incidence (90-100%) was recorded in tomato varieties Lal Sona, Roma and Manisha at Shimla, Kangra and Solan districts at Nayaser, Palampur and Gaura areas respectively. The Arka Kusumkar variety of brinjal also showed high wilt incidence of about 90-100 per cent in Palampur. Whereas, in capsicum variety California wonder was found to be susceptible to bacterial wilt and recorded about 60-90 per cent wilt incidence. In Hamirpur and Kangra 'Heemsohna' showed susceptible reaction (65-80%) but in Sirmour and Solan their reaction was moderately susceptible whereas, in Kullu district moderately resistant reaction was noticed in the same cultivar. Although 'Roma' in Kangra and 'Lal Sona' in Shimla were found highly susceptible against bacterial wilt of tomato. Similarly, 'California Wonder” of bell pepper and 'Arka' of brinjal showed highly susceptible reaction to bacterial wilt in Kangra district.

The effect of continuous application of fertilizers and amendments on wheat yield and nutrients in an acid Alfisol during rabi (2018-19) was evaluated in an ongoing long-term field experiment initiated in 1972 at the research farm of the Department of Soil Science, CSK HPKV, Palampur.The soil of the experimental area was acidic (pH 5.8), silt loam in texture and classified taxonomically as “Typic Hapludalf”. The highest productivity of wheat was recorded in the treatment comprising 100% NPK + FYM and was statistically at par with treatment receiving 100% NPK with lime. Continuous sole application of N resulted in zero yield. The significantly superior available N and K were registered in treatment receiving 100% NPK + FYM. However, the highest available P was recorded in treatment where NPK at 150 per cent of the recommended dose were applied. The Zn application along with 100% NPK registered the highest value (4.19 mg kg-1) of DTPA extractable Zn and application of 100% NPK + FYM recorded the highest value of DTPA extractable Fe, Cu, and Mn (36.8, 2.26, and 39.65 mg kg-1, respectively). Overall, 100% NPK+ FYM was found to be the best treatment to increase the wheat productivity and maintain nutrients status in the soil on long-term basis.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of tillage practices and different nutrient sources on growth, growth indices and yield of mustard. The experiment was directed in split plot design comprising of three main plots [(Zero tillage, Reduced tillage and conventional tillage) and four sub plots (75% RDN, 100% RDN, 75% RDF and 100% RDF) treatments]. Results revealed that plant height (137.92 cm), dry matter accumulation 2 2 (393.03 g/m ), absolute growth rate (0.20 g/day), crop growth rate (0.83 g/m /day), dry matter efficiency (0.149 %), 2 unit area efficiency (0.00062 kg/ m /day), seed yield (1045.0 kg/ha) and straw yield (3242.3 kg/ha) of mustard were highest under reduced tillage. Among different nutrient sources, 100 per cent recommended 2 dose of fertilizer recorded highest plant height (139.72 cm), dry matter accumulation (407.81 g/m ), dry matter 2 efficiency (0.151 %), unit area efficiency (0.00065 kg/ m /day), seed yield (1098.4 kg/ha) and straw yield (3112.6 2 kg/ha) whereas absolute growth rate (0.17 g/day) and crop growth rate (0.77 g/m /day) were highest with 75 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer. Correlation studies showed that plant height, dry matter accumulation, absolute growth rate, dry matter efficiency and unit area efficiency had positive significant association with mustard yield, indicating the importance of these traits in selection for yield. It was concluded that among tillage practices, reduced tillage proved best for growth and productivity of mustard whereas in case of different nutrient sources, 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizerwas found better.Keywords

The present study was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm of CSK HPKV, Palampur during the year 2019- 20 and 2020-21. The experimentation was designed in RCBD along with three replications. The data was worked out for various growth and yield of tomato and potato of pomato grafts. The outcomes of the investigation presented that maximum plant height (272.90 cm), number of fruits per cluster (8.20), fruit yield per pant (4.11 kg), tuber yield per square meter (5.44 kg), was calculated for the graft combinations i.e. K. Himalini + Rakshita, K. Himalini + PTH-1, K. Pukhraj + Avtar. Observations from the recorded data also proved that K. Jyoti+ Avtar and K. Jyoti + PTH-1 took minimum number of days for first flowering and days to harvest in case of tomato and potato i.e. 49.70 and 72.04. Hence, these graft combinations can be further recommended to grower, so they can fetch more yield from the limited land holding.Keywords
