Abstract: The specific objective of the study was to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the stakeholders in sub montane North Western Himalayan dry lands, identify the different agroforestry practices prevalent in the area, the types of trees commonly planted by the farmers along with their uses, perception of farmers about agroforestry and the constraints faced by the farmers in planting trees. A sample of 180 randomly selected respondents from 4 blocks of district Samba viz., Vijaypur, Samba, Gaghwal and Parmandal were interviewed through a pre-structured interview schedule in person and the data so collected were analyzed using statistical software to draw conclusions. The average household size consisted of 7 people with an average age of 53 years. Boundary plantation (39.4 %) was the major agroforestry practice, followed by scattered planting (35.0 %), block planting (15.6 %) and intercropping (10%). Tree components in the area included horticulture and forest tree species. The socio economic and ecological benefits derived by farmers from the planted trees and the major constraints faced by farmers have been drawn.

Abstract: The seed germination of pre-sowing treatments of Aquilaria agallocha and Shorea robusta seeds was conducted in the nursery of Bangladesh Agricultural University. The seeds were collected from 18 to 26 years old matured and healthy trees from various locations in Bangladesh and subjected to different pre-sowing treatments, i.e. control, soaking in normal and hot water (for different times), immersion in 80 % concentrated H2SO4 (for 20 minutes) and so on. Seed germination was carried out in poly-bags with a mixture of topsoil and cow dung in the ratio of 3: 1. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed no significant differences between seed sources but the germination percentage among the treatment of the selected species was strongly significant with each another.

Abstract: Clonal propagation is one of the most effective tools for improvement in forestry. The study describes the scope and development of clonal propagation technology for Bixa orellana commonly known as Annatto. Developing rapid and improved clonal study reveals that clonal propagation is possible through stem cuttings collected from matured trees. The study standardized the effect of cutting size, concentration of IBA and root media on success and survival of stem cuttings in this species. Percentage rooting and primary root number differed significantly between treated and untreated cuttings .Treatment of cuttings with 4000 ppm IBA maximized rooting (83.30%), along with increased survival (78.30 %) and primary root number (20.20).Rooting success and root number were better in 15 cm x 20 mm diameter sized cuttings. Cuttings planted in sand: soil (1:1) rooted better with more roots ensuring better survival. Survival and growth of the clonal plants were best when using improved techniques like size of the cuttings with proper concentration of IBA and also combined with suitable rooting media. However, there was significant variation in height growth (shoots sprouts length) of cuttings due to IBA treatments. The results suggested that it could be possible to produce clones of high yielding superior genotypes of Bixa orellana on large scale through stem cutting for popularization and establishment of commercial forestry and agroforestry plantations.

Abstract: Endogenous contents of moisture, soluble sugars phenols and o-phenols as well as peroxidase activity at rooting zone of successive N1-10 nodes from top to bottom collected from one year growth of a 5-6 year old teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) bud grafts maintained in vegetative multiplication garden were estimated. No set trend in endogenous bio-chemical parameters suggests that they play active physiological role in differentiation/growth of shoot appendages and also adventitious roots in excised shoots. Their minimum endogenous levels at N1 and N2 may be due to their involvement in extension growth of twigs and leaf expansion related metabolic process, making their limited availability for de novo adventitious roots. Thus, the above preliminary biochemical investigations carried out at various nodes of the same shoots may, to some extent, help explain their differential rooting response besides encouraging in depth exploration to find out biochemical basis of progressive loss of juvenility and rooting potential with the aging of perennial trees.

Keywords: Genetic evaluation, Fodder quality, Bamboo
Abstract: Bamboos are faster growing plants extensively used for variety of purposes; among them are stock fodder, erosion control and shelter. As a fodder species, bamboos are not potentially investigated and research lacks the qualitative approach of nutritive value found in different species of bamboo. Therefore, work on fodder quality was carried out with fourteen species of bamboo and evaluated for genetic divergence, nutritional and forage quality parameters. Based on divergence analysis of pooled data, the 14 species of bamboo were grouped into four clusters. Cluster 1 had maximum number of species (7), Cluster III had four species whereas Cluster II and Cluster IV had maximum of (2) and (1) species respectively. Maximum intra-cluster distance was in Cluster II and maximum inter-cluster distance was between cluster II and IV. Correlation analysis revealed that leaf: stem ratio, biomass, crude protein content, dry matter digestibility had major contribution in determining the nutritive potential of green and dry forage yield. Bamboos biomass and nutrient distribution has enormous potential to become quality fodder for livestock animals. Therefore, bamboo may be planted in a marginal land which makes the soil fertile and produced evergreen biomass round the year.

Abstract: Intellectual property rights play a vital role in research innovation and economy of the country. An attempt has been made to study the patenting scenario in India after the enforcement of product patent regims in 2005. The study is based on the data base of the Indian Patent Office, IPAIRS version 4.0 from 2005 to 2012. Maximum number of patents was obtained in the field of agricultural chemicals (A01N). The second most active area of research in agriculture was foodstuffs and non-alcoholic beverages, preparation or treatment, preservation of foods or foodstuffs (A23L) with 483 patents. Other prominent area, viz. (C09D) coating compositions, Dye, paints, polishes and natural resins, adhesive recorded as many as 294 and 190 (C09K) patents, respectively. New plants or processes for obtaining them and plant reproduction, followed by catching, trapping apparatus for destruction of noxious animals were other emerging areas in agriculture with 53, 51, 48, 47 and 16 patents indicating diversification in Indian agriculture/forestry sectors. Animal husbandry, silk rearing or breeding animals, new breeds (48), horticulture, cultivation of vegetables and forestry (47) (A01B). Soil working in agriculture or forestry, agricultural machines or implements registered 16 patents during the period. Assignee cross section of the granted patents revealed that maximum number of patents were obtained by the foreign companies and institution followed by Indian Institutions and Indian companies. There was a sizeable share of individuals/foreign/Indian nationals holding patents in large areas of patenting in agriculture and forestry.

Abstract: Seeds of Melia azedarach were collected from selected mother trees (ortets) one each at twenty locations, and progenies were raised to study the extent and pattern of variation with respect to growth characters. Site S27 (Nauni) exhibited outstanding performance for these traits of progenies followed by S14 (Ropar) and S23 (Subathu), whereas S2 (Palu upper) showed the lowest values. High heritability with high genetic gain was observed for collar diameter (0.96 and 64.37 %), root length (0.93 and 57.72 %) and root-shoot length ratio (0.91 and 51.83 %). Highly significant and positive genotypic and phenotypic correlations were observed for majority of the characters. Plant height had significantly positive genotypic and phenotypic correlation with number of branches (0.85 and 0.82) and collar diameter (0.84 and 0.81) whereas collar diameter showed positive and significant genotypic and phenotypic correlation with number of branches (0.83 and 0.74) and number of leaves (0.70 and 0.65).

Abstract: The job performance of forest guards in India was empirically assessed in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The study was to ascertain how the predictor variables of job satisfaction, job stress, age, educational qualification, length of service, gender and body-mass index influence job performance. The study also explores the human resource management issues related to forest guards. The results suggest that job motivation, job satisfaction and educational qualification have positive influence on job performance. Job stress, age and length of service have negative relationship with job performance. Gender and body-mass index have no relationship. The impact of various attributes on job performance is also discussed. Preferences for various streams of activities within the forest establishment are explored.

Abstract: Women are critical players in the adoption and scale of clean cooking solutions. Barriers to adoption of cleaner cooking solution start within the home and with the cooks. Without engaging the women who are responsible for cooking in the design and dissemination of clean cookstoves and fuels, efforts will fall flat. As partners, women should be encouraged to lead efforts that seek to develop effective, culturally-appropriate, and sustainable solutions. Gender-informed business models in particular serve as a crucial foundation o the success of clean cooking solutions globally. In addition, best practices that engage both women and men need to be culturally adapted and widely applied throughout the sector. The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves ' ' Resource Guide on Scaling Adoption of Clean Cooking Solutions through Women ' s Empowerment ' outlines best practices for engaging women and addressing gender issues within the entire clean cooking value chain and is an important tool for understanding why and how to involve and empower women in the clean cooking value chain.

Abstract: Two villages of the Banjara tribal community, in rural Andhra Pradesh, India, have joined efforts to embark on a project of experimental learning and action-oriented research, supported and technically assisted by formed .A prototype of a stove has been developed locally and tested in all 60 households of the two villages, where families had not left for temporary migration, demonstrating a reduction in consumption of wood of 40 % against the traditional three-stove fire. This step has been instrumental to determine true and widespread ownership of the concept of cleaner cooking. Fifteen villages have now joined the programme and aim at the self-production of ICS. This project illustrates a successful uptake of ICS when the barriers of low community participation is addressed from the outset.

Abstract: With 2.6 billion people globally relying on solid biomass fuel such as fuelwood, charcoal, animal dung, shrubs, and agricultural residue for cooking continues to be a critical issue (Pachauri et al, 2013). A vast majority of these people live in rural areas of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the Sustainable Energy for All initiative covers electricity and cooking energy access, there is little analysis of options or strategies for accelerating a transition to cleaner combusting cooking fuels or devices. Many researchers argue that without new policies and strategies, the number of people relying on solid fuels for cooking will increase by the year 2030. The implications of these household cooking practices include severe health impacts, gender inequities, and local and global environmental change.
