Rice is relatively sensitive to salinity and classified as a silicon accumulator. There have been reports that can reduce sodium uptake in crop grasses saline conditions, but the mechanism by which might alleviate damage unclear. We report on effects of growth, gas exchange rice genotypes differing salt tolerance. In non‐saline media there were no supplementary silicate upon shoot fresh or dry weight root weight, indicating standard culture solution was not formally deficient with respect...
Madhuca bourdillonii (Gamble) Lam. and Syzygium travancoricum Gamble, considered almost extinct but later found to be occurring in small numbers their home range Western Ghats, south of Palghat Gap, have been now discovered some the relic primeval evergreen forests Uttara Kannada, over 700 km north.These also shelter scores other rare endemic elements flora fauna.These findings highlight need for making intensive efforts locating more such documenting biota.Also, biologists restrain from...
ABSTRACT Silvo-pastoral systems involve integration of trees with natural or established pasture. This system conserves soil and has the potential to provide a wide range products on sustainable basis. In addition, they can also many other environmental benefits, such as recharge ground water conservation bio-diversity. improve existing land productivity 1 tonne dry matter ha−1 year−1 by an average 8 10 times, depending site conditions. Initially, multi-purpose (MPTs) in silvo-pastoral lower...
This study was carried out along the altitudinal gradients of Uttara Kannada district Karnataka, representing different agro-climatic zones – coast, hilly and plains. 10 sectors were selected for study. Transect based survey resulted in documenting a total 134 species trees 146 shrubs. It found that 6, 7 8, lying Western Ghats section, having semi-evergreen to evergreen forests had highest diversity, percentage endemism. The 9 eastern plains harbour dry deciduous dominated by teak. coastal...
A long term experiment was conducted at Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture 14 years to evaluate the effect of low tillage and cost conjunctive nutrient management practices in terms productivity, sustainability, profitability energy use efficiency sorghum-mung bean system rainfed semi-arid tropical Alfisol. Results study revealed that practices, conventional (CT) recorded 11.0% higher yields (1534 kg/ha) over (LT) (1382 practice. Among treatments, application 2 t Gliricidia...
This experiment is a standardisation of plantation techniques four native, promising forestry species, namely, Dalbergia latifolia, Terminalia arjuna, bellirica and Gmelina arborea, with respect to effects tree spacing, pit size irrigation.The was set up in tropical mixed deciduous forest patch Madhya Pradesh, central India.We tested three spacings (2 m × 2 m, 3 5 m), sizes (30 cm 30 cm× cm, 45 60 cm) two moisture regimes (rainfed irrigated).Growth data were recorded for years, from the...
Ten elite lines of Jatropha curcas (L.) were evaluated consecutively for three years at CRIDA, Hyderabad, with the main objectives being to select superior plants high seed and oil yields study variations in agro-morphological, yield characteristics cluster them into different groups. Analysis variance shows that all traits had significant variation among lines. The broad sense heritability was across indicating these mainly controlled by genetic factors as compared environmental components,...
Abstract β-sitosterol (BS) and lupeol (LU) exhibit a number of biological activities are the important bioactive marker compounds in pharmaceutical science. In present study, simple, precise, accurate validated high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed for simultaneous quantification these two leaves, stem roots Uraria picta , critically endangered medicinal plant one constituents ten plants ayurvedic formulation called Dashmoola. Standards test samples were...
The present study was conducted in Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA), Hyderabad to develop the allometric equations predicting total biomass and carbon of Azadirachta indica three different basal diameter classes (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm 20-30 cm).The growth variables viz., tree height, diameter, DBH, crown height width are maximum neem under higher class, whereas minimum lower class.The average recorded as 122.3 kg/tree 338.8 t/ ha all classes.The relationship between...
Two new records of Amanita constricta and velosa from India are reported for the first time sal Shorea robusta forest central India. Earlier was USA Canada, while A. Mexico. The species edible but they should be taken with caution as at least two deadly Amanitas saccate type volvas known. grows in open areas.
