With a view to evolve cloning procedure for Bambusa multiplex, Bambusa tulda and Bambusa vulgaris single node culm cuttings were subjected to four different treatments for 24h viz., water, or 1, 2 and 4 mM NAA. The treated cuttings were horizontally placed and covered completely with sand in ground beds of low-cost mist chamber. After two months, the cuttings were scored for adventitious ischolar_maining percentage, ischolar_main number and length. Significant influence of graded concentrations of NAA on adventitious rhizogenesis was observed. In B. tulda and B. vulgaris the treatment of 4 mM NAA to culm cuttings proved superior for ischolar_main induction while 2mM was found best for ischolar_maining in B. multiplex.- Air-layering of Trees with Differential Adventitious Rooting Response

Five economically important forestry species namely Anogiessus latifolia, Boswellia serrata, Dalbergia latifolia, Dalbergia sissoo and Gmelina arborea having differential adventitious ischolar_maining response were evaluated for air-layering. Shoots of randomly selected trees of each species were girdled and covered with soilrite and black polythene. After forty five days, the air-layered shoots were detached from the trees to record observations on alive air-layered shoot (%), callusing (%), ischolar_maining (%), ischolar_main number, ischolar_main length, ischolar_main fresh and dry weight. The procedure was found to be feasible for clonal propagation of Boswellia serrata and Dalbergia sissoo with 52 % and 68 % adventitious rhizogenesis, respectively. Formation of callus in Dalbergia latifolia, Anogiessus latifolia and Gmelina arborea suggests strong possibility of successful air. layering if suitable exogenous treatments are provided.- Distributional Patterns of Herb Growth forms along Elevation and Grazing Pressure Gradient

Distribution of herb growth forms in the understory of some village resource forests in Central Himalaya has been studied along elevation (800-1 ,610m) and grazing pressure (least to severe) gradient. Erect and umbrella-like forms registered an increase in their share in the herb growth form spectrum with increase in elevation while basal leaf forms and sprawling mats exhibit better representation at low elevation. Grazing most adversely affects erect forms but promotes herb growth form diversity. Umbrella-like forms , basal leaf forms and sprawling mats prefer disturbed sites. Overall , better growth form diversity occurred at low elevation and grazed sites.- Clonal Propagation of Bambusa nutans through Culm and Culm-branch Cuttings

The suitability of culm and culm-branch cuttings for adventitious ischolar_maining under the influence of various auxin treatments was investigated in view of the problem of inadequate adventitious rhizogenesis in Bambusa nutans. Induction and growth of adventitious rhizogenesis in both types of cuttings was noted to be more in April than May. However, culm cuttings exhibited markedly better adventitious ischolar_main formation and growth, compared to culm-branch cuttings. The cuttings responded more positively to exogenous auxin treatments in the month of May and administration for 24 h of 2.00 mM indole 3-butyric acid consistently enhanced adventitious ischolar_maining in both months.- Ascorbic Acid Promotes Adventitious Rhizogenesis in Teak (Tectona grandis)

Adventitious rhizogenesis in semi-hardwood shoot cuttings of two 'ischolar_maining recalcitrant' forestry species, Grewia optiva and Lagerstroemia parviflora was investigated. The cuttings of approximately 20 cm length and 1.0 cm diameter were treated with equimolar (2mM) doses of indole 3-butyric acid, sodium acetate, ascorbic acid and thiamine for 24 h by basal dipping. After ten weeks of planting, observations were recorded for sprouting (%), ischolar_maining (%), ischolar_main number, and ischolar_main length and ischolar_main-sprout ratio. Treatment with IBA significantly induced adventitious ischolar_maining (upto 67%) in Grewia optiva. In Lagerstroemia parviflora, treatment of thiamine resulted in significantly better adventitious rhizogenesis than other treatments.- Integrated Land Development in Forest Fringe Villages: the Khunti Model

Integrated land development model adopted in 10 forest fringe villages in tribal dominated areas of Jharkhand under a UNDP sponsored project has achieved remarkable success in sustainable livelihood promotion and conservation of natural resources, checking migration of rural mass to outside state for employment and disassociating young people from Maoist and naxal activities. The rural folk revived the traditional practice of lac cultivation with scientific and technical support of the Institute to reap substantial benefits in tune of 70,000-90,000 per family annually. Apart from growing lac on its well known host trees such as palash, kusum and ber, initiative has been taken on large scale lac cultivation on new host plant Flemingia semialta in farmers' fields. The intervention reduces the gestation period to 1 year and facilitates intensive management for enhanced crop yield.Keywords

The present study mainly focuses on the documentation of lianas and climbers in different forest habitat of five districts of Jharkhand viz., Ranchi, East-Singhbhum, Hazaribagh, Chatra, and Latehar during the year 2009-2012. A total of 45 important climbers including 7 lianas were identified and thoroughly observed during study period in which family Fabaceae represented dominant group followed by Cucurbitaceae, Dioscoraceae and Liliaceae.Keywords

Bamboo shoots are delicious, taste sweet, rich in carbohydrate, protein, vitamin and essential amino acids. Despite these nutrtious quality, bamboo shoots have cynogenic glycosides which releases hydrocyanic acid (HCN) on hydrolysis. Picrate paper method was found convinient and reliable protocol to estimate hydrocyanic acid content in edible bamboo shoots. Present study was done on edible shoots of three bamboo including B. tulda and D. strictus and found that tender shoots of B. tulda are edible and good for human health as it has lower content of hydrocyanic acid. Overall middle part of the shoots contained maximum amount of HCN content in all species.Keywords
