The effect of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) on ischolar_maining of cuttings were studied in two species D. latifolia and D. sissoo. Among PGRs taken (2000 ppm, 5000 ppm, 8000 ppm of IBA and Suischolar_mainex-05 in powder form), IBA 5000 ppm showed significant effect on all the parameters regarding ischolar_maining behaviour. So far species are concerned D. Sissoo showed pronounced effects on aforesaid characters in comparison to D. latifolia.

The present investigation sought to explore the knowledge and attitude of farmers towards agroforestry practices especially in North Kashmir of Western Himalayas. The informations gathered through the systematic survey by filling the testified questionnaire. A sample of 100 homesteads (41%) from the village was selected through random sampling technique. The responses were analyzed by using Frequency and Percentage Method (FMP). The results revealed that the inhabitants of study area are not well aware about the key points tested under knowledge of farmers about tree farming. On an average of 15 key points (studied), the majority of respondents fall in 'not at all' (38.23%), followed by 'moderate extent' (31.29%), 'large extent' (26.27%) and 'little extent' (19.08%) categories, respectively. Time and stage of tree felling ranked first in all the responses and VAM inoculation at the bottom. The data on attitude of farmers towards agroforestry with its benefits reveal that 58.20 per cent respondents fall in the 'agree category' followed by 'strongly agree' (21.00%) and 'neutral' (20.60%). It is observed that farmers are also reluctant to go for only agroforestry practices due to smaller land holdings. The response regarding agroforestry helps in making the farmers self-reliant ranked first in order. The present study revealed that subsidy is the only response holding the key as motivational factor for adoption of agroforestry practices.Keywords

Like many other medicinal plants, Taxus baccata also has come to the phase of extinction in its natural habitats due to increased market demand and consequent excessive destructive harvesting. Vegetative propagation through stem cuttings was tried for germplasm multiplication of T. baccata collected from Tangmarg range of Pripanjal division (Kashmir). Cuttings were treated with different auxins (IAA, IBA and NAA). IBA was found to be the most suitable hormone, followed by NAA and IAA respectively for the induction of higher callusing percentage, ischolar_maining percentage, number of ischolar_mains and ischolar_main length. The study revealed that IBA at 500 ppm is best for ischolar_maining of the stem cutting of Taxus baccata.Keywords
