The topography of Jharkhand state of India is generally undulating, with alfisols as major soil type. It is characterized by having light textured soil and high rate of soil erosion (Gulati and Rai, 2014). The soils are generally acidic in reaction with low activity of clay and rich in hydrated oxides of Iron and Aluminium leading to Phosphate fixation.

Under-exploited fruits (earlier known as minor fruits) have played a very vital role in supplementing the diet of the native people of India. These fruits refer to the species that have been domesticated but not cultivated in commercial scale like Aegle marmelos, Artocarpus lakoocha, Dillenia sp., Buchanania lanzan, Carissa carandus, Feronia limonia, etc. Some fruit crops are considered minor in some places while the same fruit crops are in commercial cultivation in some other regions (Paul, 2013). Moreover, wild edible fruits which are sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and compounds of nutritional importance, secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, essential oils, phenols, tannins, etc. play an important role in maintaining livelihood and nutritional security of native communities in the developing countries (Afolayan and Jimoh, 2009). The eastern states of India like West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, other north eastern states and southern states covering the western Ghats areas like Karnataka, Kerala, etc. are the treasure houses of under-exploited fruits. These fruits are comparatively higher in nutrient content then the mainstream fruits. Among all these fruits, value addition in koronda (Carissa carandus L.) is one of the most grabbing opportunities for rural communities in earning sustainable livelihoods.References

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance and characterize plant growth behaviour, light profile and soil fertility status of seventeen different trees (12 years old). The study indicated higher biomass production potential of Gmelina arborea, Dalbergia sissoo and Leucaena leucocephala. Higher photosynthetically active radiation value below tree canopy indicates compatibility of trees with a majority of agricultural crops. In the present study, a significant increase in pH and decrease in EC of trees were observed. The significant reduction in nutrients in different trees indicated a need for replenishment of nutrients in soil for maintaining soil fertility in agroforestry systems on long-term basis.Keywords

Biomass and carbon storage in orchard ecosystems serve as significant carbon sinks to reduce global warming. The objective of this study was to determine the best-fitted model for non-destructive prediction of dry biomass and carbon stock in Psidium guajava. Richard’s model was well validated and considered as best performing with lowest Akaike information criterion of 90.13, ischolar_main mean square error of 1.69 kg tree–1 and highest adjusted R2 of 0.981. Tree components like leaves, branches, bole, total above-ground biomass, total below ground biomass and ischolar_main biomass were fitted in Richard’s model for dry biomass and carbon stock prediction. The total dry biomass of P. guajava ranged from 0.54 to 9.26 Mg ha–1 in 2–10- years-old orchards. The highest mean dry biomass across tree components was observed in branches, while ischolar_mains recorded the lowest mean biomass. The total carbon stock was 0.27 and 4.19 Mg ha–1 with CO2 sequestration potential of 0.76 and 11.54 Mg ha–1 in 2-year and 10-year-old orchards respectively.Keywords
