Abstract

JK Paper Limited has started a Research and Development Unit under Forest Organization in the year 1991 to improving productivity and profitability of plantation. JK Super clones developed by this organization and showing 3-5 times more volume than the seed route plantations. Productivity of Eucalyptus has been achieved through ischolar_maining of cuttings. Forest Organization of JKPL has developed cloning on a commercial scale and great care and attention was given to the selection and propagation of superior trees, both for improvement programme and also from the already established commercial plantations. The clonal forests obtained from that period onwards provided significant improvements in wood productivity, uniformity and quality, and also gave a distinct competitive edge in the wood market. This paper deals strategy and achievement of Forest Organization on development and commercial deployment of high yielding fast growing and disease resistance clones of Eucalyptus and the promotion of technology-based clonal farm forestry plantations in India particularly Orissa, Andhra Pradesh (North), Chandigarh, and Gujarat.

Abstract

'Taxol', extracted from the leaves and bark of Taxus bacctaa Linn. is as an anti-cancer drug, which is effective in breast and ovarian cancer. Due to its over exploitation, the occurrence of plants of this species has reduced to a great extent in Uttarakhand. Further, as the trees of this species are dioecious and found distantly apart from each other in nature, the chances of seed setting and their natural regeneration are very poor. In such a situation the species may face the chances of extinction if sutiable measures for its clonal multiplication and conservation are not timely undertaken. Keeping this in view work on multiplication of T. baccata via ischolar_maining of cuttings was under taken since 1998 at Forest Research Centre, Kalika, Ranikhet. Shoot cuttings treated with 10,000 ppm Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) mixed with tale gave 29%-72.9% ischolar_maining. A total number of 76,863 plantlets were produced through ischolar_maining of cuttings by FRC, Kalika in the past eight years. About 2.0 ha hedge garden has been established using the clonally prpagated material. It is expected that this hedge garden will provide sufficient vegetative material for further propagation of this species. Apart from this, the centre has also established a field trial (6.0 ha) using the clonally propagated material nearby to this centre during 1998-2006 to assess the clones for various parameters.

Abstract

Medicinal plants have a long history of their association with humankind since time immemorial. Indian, Chinese and the other oriental systems of medicines are dependent on medicinal plants besides the traditional use of a range of plants as medicines by tribals living in the forests as has been brought out in different ethno-botanical studies. The Asiatic flora includes tropical, sub-tropical and temperate species used in modern medicines and aroma industries. The genetic erosion rates of medicinal flora are alarming leading to shrinking biodiversity and this calls for invoking all feasible breeding methods and strategies to increase genetic variation and augment it to conservation of already existing variation. The methods of conservation could be in-situ and ex-situ. Among in-situ conservation, natural reserves, forest reserves, national parks etc. are included while in ex-situ (off site) conservation, gene banks, herbal garden, seed orchards and in-vitro methods of conservation viz. shoot culture and plant cell suspension culture are included. The advents of molecular tools have opened up new vistas of mobilizing genes across genera and texa and plant improvement through marker assisted selection (MAS). These new techniques along with already existing time-tested methods can be useful complements for future germplasm improvement and conservation.

Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of differential response in sprouting behaviour of sixty clones after pruning in Eucalyptus tereticornis in Vegetative Multiplication Garden (VMG). The maximum number of shoots 15.2 was observed in clone 5(A) followed by 14.6 and 14.5 in clone 7210320 and 82102051 respectively. Highly significant (P<0.05) correlations werc observed between number of shoots and collar diameter. It was observed that with the increase in diameter of the coppiced stump, the number of shoots produced per stump increased significantly. It was concluded that by pruning of Eucalyptus tereticornis ramets, maximum number of shoots cuttings may be made available from a hedge-garden to produce ischolar_mained cuttings on a mass scale for clonal forestry programme by judicious selection of clones having high regenerating capacity of shoot production following hedging.

Abstract

The paper summarizes the results of ischolar_maining of juvenile cuttings of Chir Pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.). Cuttings emanating from 9 clones of P. roxburghii. (UPTSB-14 (Bhasla), HPSNR-5 (Nurpur), UPBER-5 (Berinag), UPKAL-10 (Kaligarh), UPPAT-I094 (Patwadangar), UPTSS-3 (Sikanderdbarl, UPDNH-770 (Dhanari), UPBER-368 (Berinag) and UPDNH-81 (Dhanari) were treated with different concentrations of IBA viz. 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm and 4000 ppm and planted in vermiculite under mist condition. Significant differences in ischolar_maining percentage and other ischolar_main parameters were observed between the clones. Among the four concentrations of IBA tried, 4000 ppm proved to be the best. 100% ischolar_maining was observed in three clones viz. UPTSB-14, UPKAL-10 and UPPAT-1094.

Abstract

The present paper reports the variations observed in specific gravity of wood in segregating populations of F₂ and F₃ hybrids of E. citriodora and E. torelliana. Perhaps this is the first report of its kind so far as the F₂ and F₃ hybrids of Eucalyptus are concerned. These studies were carried out on lO-year-old plants growing in a field trial laid out in 1987 at New Forest Campus, Dehradun. (Alt. 640m. Lat. 30° 30° 40° N.R.F. 216 cm.). A comparison in specific gravity of wood has been made with parent species involved in hybridization. A subtle range in variation in specific gravity of wood was observed due to segregation. The range in specific gravity of wood observed was 0.8144 - 0.8931 in E. citriodora, 0.6279 - 0.6590 in E. torelliana and 0.5170 - 0.6677 for F₂ and F₄ recombinants. Since a wide spectrum of variation has been observed in individual tree specific gravity of wood belonging to F₂ and F₃ generation hybrids this has offered ample scope for selection of desired recombinants for different end uses.

Abstract

Carbon and nutrient budgets for two Central Himalayan Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn.) forests (Sal old growth and new growth forests) are described. The total Carbon storage in Sal old growth forest (379 t Cha^-1) was greater than Sal new growth forest (242 t Cha^-1). However, net primary productivity values (9.3-10.11C ha^-1yr^-1) revealed almost similar potential of both forests. Of the total carbon uptake in ecosystem, the net accumulation accounted for 33%. Of the total nutrient storage in two forests, vegetation pool accounted for 53-54% N; 67.72%, P; 90-93% K; 18034% Ca; and 77-78% Na. The net primary productivity and nutrient uptake in Sal new growth forest were higher than that of old growth forest, irrespective of nutrient storage in biomass. The total nutrient uptake (kg ha^-1 yr^-1) by the vegetation was: 155-178N; 13-15P; 73-85K; 119-135 Ca; and 7-8 Na in two forests. Under relatively undisturbed condition, Central Himalayan Sal forests are efficient carbon sink and nutrient rich ecosystems.

Abstract

Nursery raised teak (Tectona grandis) seedlings were given different fertilizer levels of Nitrogen (N), Phosohorus (P) and their combinations to ascertain changes in growth (seedling height and collar diameter) and seedling dry weight. In general, the seedling growth as well as dry weight increased along with increasing doze. Amongst individual application maximum seedling growth and dry weight was indicated at 150 mg level of N. Although, P application also indicated similar pattern, however N application was superior P application. In case of the combined use of N+P fertilizers, growth showed a clear-cut increase along treatments indicating maximum seedling growth (34.6 cm seedling height and 11.48 mm collar diameter) and biomass (65.62 g dry weight seedling) at 100 mg N+75 mg P level). Significant linear relationship (r² = 7.8 to 8.8; p<0.01) was evident for different parametersunder study.

Abstract

In an experiment with E. tereticornis (Mysore-gum) three different substrates were used to find a suitable media for developing ischolar_mained cuttings. No ischolar_main promoting hormones were applied. The three substrates were vermiculite, riverine sand and soil mixture (sand, soil and farm yard manure in a ratio of 1:2:1). It was observed that in vermiculite ischolar_mains produced are lengthy and in sand more number of ischolar_mains are produced in comparison to the other media; suggesting that, after ischolar_main initiation from cuttings in sand they may be planted in soil mixture for further development.

Abstract

Easy ischolar_mainability being an important criterion for selection of superior trees for mass-multiplication, ischolar_maining of juvenile cuttings from nine month old half-sib progenies of selected trees were taken up, which revealed significant differences in ischolar_maining responses along with other traits. It was observed that progenies of C1, C2 and C3 trees performed best. Correlation among all the characters were found to be sufficiently high and the parent-progeny correlation revealed significant positive relationships between DBH x Number of leaves and Height x Number of leaves. Further investigations on mature-juvenile relationships based on number of leaves in seedlings may be necessary.

Abstract

This paper deals with certain studies viz., plantation methods, nursery, growth and dry matter dynamics of Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTS) plantations, soil position and productive potential of agroforestry systems in sodic wasteland. In nursery studies, growth responses of one-year old seedlings of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. and Acacia nilotica (Linn.) Willd. ex. Del. seedlings showed that growth and dry weight decreased as the level of sodicity and salinity increased in both species. The response breadths in case of both species were comparatively higher under sodicity levels than under salinity levels. Amongst MPTS plantations, the stand biomass for different species ranged from 81 to 171 tha^-1 (Populus deltoides vs Casuarina equisetifolia). Total annual litter fall in different plantations ranged from 217 to 609 gm^-2 yr^-1. Under different agri-silviculture systems the grain yields of wheat and paddy were lower than that of open field condition. In case of 9-12 year old agroforestry systems, total carbon storage in biomass (above and blow ground components of trees and crops) ranged from 46.1 t C ha^-1 (P. deltoides based agri-silvicultural system) to 51.9 t C ha^-1 (C. equisetifolia based agri-silvicultural system). Carbon storage under C. equisetifolia- Psidium guajava based agri-silvi-horticultural system was 54.2 t C ha^-1, which was highest amongst all AF systems. Amongst grasses, Pennisetum purpureum showed maximum herbage yield under Dalbergia sissoo based silvipastoral system. In a mixed tree stand, the total herbage net primary production for Brachiaria mutica was greater than that of open area. On both stands, the production was maximum during rainy season and minimum during summer. In C. equisetifolia based agri-silvi-horticultural system the fresh rhizome yield for turmeric was 8.6 t ha^-1, which was greater than the yield (7.6 t ha^-1) obtained in open area. There was an overall improvement in soil physico-chemical properties under agroforestry systems.

Abstract

The present paper reports the genetic variation observed in wood propertieS viz., fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen diameter and wall thickness in segregating populations of F₂ reciprocal hybrid class (E. citriodora × E. torelliana), F₃ E. citriodora × E. torelliana and parents (E. citriodora and E. torelliana) which were developed at New Forest Dehradun (India). A subtle range in variation in wood properties was observed due to segregation when compared with parents. The differences in wood properties of outer, middle and inner segments of core samples were found statisticaUy significant for increase in specific gravity. The individuals in F₂ and F₃ generations have recorded higher fibre length, outer fibers diameter and less wall thickneSs as compared to parents. The differences between parents and segregating populations were found significant. Significant negative correlations were found between outer fiber diameter and dbh, specific gravity and fiber length, fiber lumen diameter and dbh, specific gravity and fiber length while significant positive correlation was found between specific gravity and fiber wall thickness.

Abstract

Attempts have been made to classify and describe the vegetation types of Sirohi Forest Division, situated in the south-west corner of Rajasthan, on the basis of proposed international classification for World Tropical Forest Types. In each vegetation type, degradation sub-types have been recognised in the form of physiognomic stages which are generally the result of biotic interference. Due to climatic and altitudinal changes, there is a considerable variation in the vegetation from thony species-Prosopis spicigera and Capparis decidua to evergreen species Mangifera indica and Syzygium cuminii with intermediate crops of Anogeissus pendula and Anogeissus latifolia.

Abstract

For many centuries, Mount Abu has remained a religious centre for Hindu and Jain devotees. Being the summer headquarters of the erstwhile Agent General for the Rajputana States to the Viceroy of India, it had the patronage of the British officers since the later part of the eighteenth century. These persons were keen to beautify the surrounding hills with many exotic tree species. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, many attempts were made for introduction of exotics. Whereas several such species have successfully been introduced, many have failed. The tree growth initially was strictly protected but this suffered subsequently. Intensive efforts are now being made to replenish the tree growth and to beautify this hill station.

Abstract

Consequent to total or partial failure of monsoon continnously from 1965 to 1969, Rajasthan state suffered extremely and normal life of local population was disturbed. This failure of monsoon accompanied by extremes of temperature have caused disastrous changes in soil, moisture regime and failure of agricultural crops and large scale mortality in forest crops particularly of Anogeissus. The problem was investigated by the author throughout the state by laying out observation plots and collection of specimens of dead and dying trees which were found attacked by a stem borer. Olenecamptus anogeissii. The mortality in per cent has been compared from 1969 to 1971. Fortunately, due to monsoon remaining active during 1970 and 1971 the mortality per cent has decreased to a bare minimum and the tree crop bas grown healthy in areas which presented gloomy picture of devastation earlier.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield of wheat and paddy under four year old Dalbergia sissoo based agri-silviculture system on sodic soil in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out with treatment consisting of three varieties of wheat (NW-1067, NW-1014 and HD-2643) and paddy (Sarjoo-52, Narendra Usar-2 and Narendra Usar-3) grown in factorial Randomized Block Design. The study reveals that plant height (89.33 cm and 98.00 cm) and straw yield (1.15 t ha^-1 and 1.59 t ha^-1) varieties of wheat HD-2643 and paddy Narendra Usar-2 were found better respectively, when the crop were grown at 1.0 m away from D. sissoo tree base in the alley cropping. However, maximum number of per ear/panicle and 1000 grain test weight (grain yield 2.32 t ha^-1 and 2.33 t ha^-1) varieties of wheat NW-1067 and paddy Narendra Usar-2 were recorded respectively, when crop were grown in open area. Amongst different varieties viz. NW-1067 (wheat) and Narendra Usar-2 (paddy) were found better for cultivation under D. sissoo based agri-silviculture system. Wheat variety-NW 1067 and paddy variety Narendra Usar-2 were found better for cultivation under D. sissoo based agri-silviculture system in salt affected soil.

Abstract

Lapping is one of the techniques where form and surface roughness are controlled on surface like flat, cylindrical and spherical shape. Now a days with optimized parameters and the process is being applied to any material and shape which are not subject to plastic deformation due to their own weight or to mechanical load by machining. It is used less for finish and more for form accuracy, such as flatness in the case of flat objects or sphericity in the case of spheres. The parameters optimization is key factor for lapping spherical surface. This paper gives brief about development of Sphere Lapping Attachment for CNC Lathe with Spherical tolerance accuracy within 1 micron for lapping spherical surface with scratch-free, mirror finish high-quality surface. This Attachment is effective on stainless steel and Cobalt Chrome (Co Cr) alloyed metals.

Abstract

The contribution of Indian Railways to strengthen National Integration is unprecedented. It is the third largest railway network in the world. It provides connectivity to all the states of the country including urban, sub-urban, hilly, remote areas. It not only links the different regions within the country but also connects India with neighboring countries also such Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh etc. IR is one of the most suitable and economical modes of transportation. It touches the life of the citizens directly or indirectly in one way or the other. A large population of the country is dependent on IR. But the past experiences reflect poor delivery of passenger services resulting in dissatisfaction among the passengers. This adversely affects the relation between the users and the providers of IR.

Abstract

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing (AM) process which is used for fabrication of complex geometry parts layer by layer directly from 3D CAD model. SLM gives boundless opportunities to build highly complex shapes which are not possible to achieve by traditional manufacturing process. however, SLM is not totally freeform fabrication as it has inherent process limitations. Design engineers frequently lack an understanding of these process limitations and their impact on the final part. Here comes the need for developing design guidelines for AM processes to help design engineers while designing the part for selective laser melting. This paper reviews general design guidelines that to be considered for building the part through SLM process. Research papers regarding support structure generation, part orientation and topologically optimization are referred. These rules aim to reduce cost, build failures, built time and wastage of material.
