Abstract

Availability of firsthand basic information on the genetics of important characteristics and on parental combining ability is the prerequisite for formulation an efficient breeding programme. Information on these aspects derived in Teak (Tectona grandis) indicated significant genetic variation at the family level. Height recorded both high heritability and genetic gain values. Strong correlation at the genetic level was observed between diameter and basal area. Clones A-16, A-21 and A-35 were found to be best combiners. It is suggested that these clones be used in breeding as well as in advance generation production population in Teak.

Abstract

The practice of clear felling of natural forests to establish teak plantation was suspended fearing loss of plant diversity. Ecological audit of teak plantations older than ten years was taken up by critical appraisal of teak plantation vis-a-vis bench marks like adjoining miscellaneous forests, forest nut subjected to clearfelling and forests in the Tadoba National Park. The study encompasses assessment of species spectrum, regeneration status, analytical characters like frequency, density and abundance and basal area. Community coefficient of above said communities has been worked out and compared. The study reveals that earlier apprehensions were ill-founded. This is attributed to safety measures like retention of original crop as section lines, retention of fruit trees in the clearfelled areas.

Abstract

Quality seed production is an indispensable part of successful plantation of
any species. The present paper describes methods and work on teak seed
improvement done in Maharashtra Van Sanshodhan Sanstha, Chandrapur.Teak
seed orchards to the extent of 166.5 ha have been raised after standardization of
vegetative propagation. Further flowering and fruiting behaviour of some clones
at different ages has been described. Characters of teak seeds of different origins
have also been discussed. It has been observed that generally flowering and
fruiting increases with age of teak seed orchard. Seed from clonal seed orchards
shows better germination percentage etc. than general seed.

Abstract

In a developing world, data sharing place an important role. In the field of forestry where outcomes are long term, it becomes more important. Government / public sector organizations where lots of tax payers money is used for generating of data should be more sensitive to the data sharing for scientific research with individuals or other organizations. It is necessary that such data is shared with individual organization who intend to use it for scientific purpose. The present paper describes the various steps including legal acts taken by the Government of India to facilitate data sharing. While in the forestry sector sate forest departments, Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education and Forest Survey of India are having large repositories of forestry data and they should be ready to share it for scientific purpose with others. While sharing data it would be very important to comply intellectual property rights. It will promote transparency, harmonious relations among researchers / organizations and will avoid duplication of efforts.
