Abstract

Vegetative propagation of R. arboreum was carried out successfully using FRI-Wire technique and ischolar_main inducing hormones (IAA and NAA at the concentrations of 1000 ppm and 2500 ppm each). IAA at 2500 ppm gave highest percentage of ischolar_maining (66.66%) in the month of April.

Abstract

Shifting cultivation locally called jhum is an integral part in tribal life of the northeastern hill regions of India and has direct bearing on their socio-cultural systems. In order to improve and restore the degraded sites under jhum cultivation some short term and long term options have been suggested. Short term options, like proper bunding, residue cycling, use of high yielding varieties, etc. and long term viable options like terracing, water harvesting, agroforestry, integrated farming systems are some improved method of jhum cultivation. Application of appropriate techniques as per land situation would help in conservation of resources, improved soil health and sustainable production. The improvement in jhum cultivation practices would be further enhanced through complete education and awareness of tribal farmers of the region.

Abstract

Piper pedicellatum C.D.C, belonging to family Piperaceae is an erect evergreen useful under shrub of moist tropical and subtropical forest areas. The plant commonly known as 'pipla' in its natural zone in the North East India. Among many NTFP bearing plants which can be planted in the forest areas under tall tree canopy, this plant is one which has the potential to be profitably planted for its fruit or berry used as spice and in Ayurvedic preparations, to enrich the existing forest areas. This will help to generate employment and income to the rural masses. Nursery techniques, post harvesting treatments, importance of the plant and market potential of the species is presented in the paper.

Abstract

Laboratory as well as field study was conducted on the one year old seed of Girardinia diversifolia during May 2010. Seeds were first moistened for 48 hrs and thereafter subjected to warm and cold treatment for 1 to 4 week duration. 0 Seed thereafter were put to germination test in Petridis plates on germination paper at 25 C in seed germinator. Germination was recorded after 15 days and continued up to 30 days. In field condition in green house result indicated that at low altitude site has intermediate philological dormancy and seed germination per cent was 25.8% can be overcome at natural site of Girardinia diversifoliawere average germination per cent in different soil media were 52.6% after 4 week.
