Twenty Candidate Plus Trees (CPTs) of Melia dubia were selected from different places covering Valsad, Narmada and The Dangs districts South Gujarat region India. Selection was made through individual selection method by considering qualitative quantitative traits economic interest like stem straightness, roundness, tree height, clear bole girth at breast height disease resistance. candidate plus trees will be useful in development superior quality planting material for mass propagation...
Anardana, a dried product prepared from wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits has been considered as source of considerable medicinal value result its high antioxidant potential.For the preparation anardana, were procured growing area Himachal Pradesh (1265 m above mean sea level) and drying arils was carried out in solar tunnel drier (30-45 °C).The packed three different packaging materials viz.aluminium laminated pouches (ALP), aluminium with vacuum (ALPV) gunny bags.All packages...
Five Melia dubia populations were identified through altitudinal gradient (12, 64, 253, 341 and 381 m msl) four individuals from each population selected following the selective sampling method subjective judgment of observer. Leaf samples collected in winter season 2020-21 all locations. Substantial variations (p <0.05) recorded proximate principles total phenolic contents M. leaf fodder along an gradient. Crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) crude fibre (CF) content significantly...
Participatory rainwater harvesting for promoting integrated development of agri-horti-livestock-cum-pisciculture was implemented during 2004-2008 at high altitude (> 1500m MSL) areas Mawlangkhar village, West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya in a watershed approach to assess and refine improved package practices integrating crops, fruits, vegetables, fish animal production higher productivity income. Soil water conservation measures like construction renovation ponds, jalkund- micro...
Gas Chromatography Mass-Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that leaf litter of Melia dubia contain phenolic acids and its derivatives, unsaturated fatty acid, alkaloids, methyl ketones (volatile allelochemical), aromatic ketone, chromene etc.Further it was reported the aqueous extracts (0, 25, 50, 75 100% concentration) 5, 10, 15 20 g/pot) inhibited germination, growth (shoot length, shoot length vigour index) initial biomass (shoot, root total biomass) green gram black...
Although trees in the agroforestry system play diverse roles meeting food, fodder, wood, and energy requirements of agrarian community, their multifunctional contribution often remains understudied, especially while assessing socio-economic status (SES) farmers. Therefore, we conceptualized, developed, standardized an instrument to appraise SES farmers who practice semi-arid sub-humid regions India. We also determined consistent performance scale by testing reliability using test–retest...
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) is an important vegetable crop and Melia composita (Malabar Neem or Nimabaro) emerging industrial agroforestry plantations in southern Gujarat. To maximize the land utilization trial was laid to investigate performance of okra varieties under different spatial arrangements 2 year old plantation with three spacing S1 (2x2 m), S2 (2x3 m) S3 (4x2 while S0 as open field at College Forestry, ACHF, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India,...
The present study was carried out to find suitable spatial geometry of Melia dubia (an industrially important fast growing tree) for Cymbopogon martinii by assessing its growth, physiology, herbage, and essential oil yield major constituents. Sole cropping (C. martinii) silvi-medicinal systems viz., M. (2x2 m)+C. martinii, (3x3 (3x2 (4x4 (4x2 resulted significant (p ≤ 0.05) effect on herbage yield, content constituents C. martinii. Height number tillers, plant spread physiological parameters...
Studies were carried out on physico-chemical and antioxidant properties of wild pomegranate fruits found in hilly slopes Himachal Pradesh. Among physical parameters, fruit size weight to be highest Basantpur location. The visual colour mature from all the locations was yellowish green, whereas, arils observed as red with slight variations intensity. TSS, sugars anthocyanins content higher Karsog location, whereas acid ascorbic Darlaghat locations, respectively. DPPH (2,...
Variations in wood properties such as basic density, tissue proportion, fibre dimensions and their derived indices, cellulose lignin content of Melia dubia at five age gradations were examined to evaluate the suitability species for pulp paper production. The study showed that length, cell wall thickness, slenderness ratio, solids factor, increased with tree age. However, vessel width lumen decreased. Most found suitable making good quality 4 5 years comparison other hardwood among...
