Panax pseudoginseng Wall. is a highly sought-after medicinal plant in Bhutan, but little is known about its distribution and habitat in the country. Therefore, this study aimed to determine suitable habitat, and potential distribution of P. pseudoginseng, and the diversity of its associated species in Nangkor and Shingkhar Geogs, Zhemgang, Bhutan. A total of 42 plots were laid using a purposive sampling method. Various parameters like slope, aspect, soil nutrients, soil pH, humidity, temperature, and soil water tension were collected. The Spearman’s correlation test indicated that the temperature and canopy cover had negative association with the counts of P. pseudoginseng. The Spearman's correlation test for NPK indicated that Phosphorus had significant difference with the counts of P. pseudoginseng. A total of 1,277 species distributed in 87 genera of 66 families were recorded including the trees, herbs and pteridophytes. Fagaceae was the most dominant family in the study area. Seven types of forest were classified based on the floristic composition of trees.  Potential distribution was obtained using ArcGIS that combined observation data, reclassification and Weighted Overlay. Overall, 95.39% of an area under Zhemgang District is suitable for the growth of P. pseudoginseng.

This research aimed to determine the effect of different land-use systems on the matric potential, and hydraulic conductivity of the soils of Yenagoa and Amassoma communities. Soil samples were collected from four respective land-use types namely: Fallow land, Oil Palm Plantation, Plantain Plantation, and Virgin land. A total of 12 samples were bulked from three replicates at each land use type and were collected at depths of 0-15cm, 15-30cm, and 30-45cm respectively. The samples were taken to the laboratory to analyze their physical, chemical, and hydrological properties. The result showed that the different land use had a significant effect (P<0.05) on some soil physical, chemical, and hydraulic characteristics. The different land-use systems had a significant effect on the soil hydraulic conductivity with the highest in virgin (13.6 cm/hr) and lowest in the plantain plantation (7.6 cm/hr). The virgin land recorded the highest Soil Water Holding Capacity (SWHC) of 2.85 cm with a range of 1.55 – 2.85cm and Plant Available Water Capacity (PAWC) of 0.19 cm3cm-3, with a range of 0.10 - 0.19 cm3cm-3, while the plantain plantation recorded the lowest (1.55 cm and 0.10 cm3cm3). Based on the study, it is recommended that soils with high Plant Available Water Capacity (PAWC) and Soil Water Holding Capacity (SWHC) be used to cultivate crops that are non-tolerant to water stress while organic amendments are used on soils with low fertility.
本研究旨在确定不同土地利用制度对叶纳戈阿和阿玛索马群落土壤基质电位和水力导电性的影响。土壤样本分别取自休耕地、油棕种植园、大蕉种植园和处女地四种不同的土地利用类型。每种土地利用类型取3个重复,共采集12份样品,采集深度分别为0 ~ 15cm、15 ~ 30cm和30 ~ 45cm。这些样品被带到实验室分析它们的物理、化学和水文特性。结果表明:不同土地利用方式对土壤的物理、化学和水力学特征有显著影响(P<0.05);不同土地利用方式对土壤导电性有显著影响,其中处女地最高(13.6 cm/hr),大蕉人工林最低(7.6 cm/hr)。未开垦地土壤持水能力(SWHC)最高,为2.85cm,范围为1.55 ~ 2.85cm;植物有效水能力(PAWC)为0.19 cm3cm-3,范围为0.10 ~ 0.19 cm3cm-3;大蕉人工林最低,范围为1.55 cm和0.10 cm3cm3。在此基础上,建议利用植物有效水分(PAWC)和土壤持水能力(SWHC)较高的土壤种植不耐水分胁迫的作物,而在肥力较低的土壤上施用有机改良剂。

Experiments were conducted in the experimental Farm of Plant Protection Research Institute, Qaha, Qalubiya governorate under field conditions during two successive seasons (2020 and 2021). The aim of this study Sensitivity infestation by Cucurbita fly: Dacus ciliatus Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) on three different species cucurbits and their control. The results showed that the population fluctuation of the D. ciliatus infesting on three different species cucurbitae (cucumber, zucchini, and snake melon) fruits highly significant differences Whereas F value = F value in first season = 10.15 ** and L.S.D. = 21.11 individuals/240 fruits, could be divided three groups in first season but in the second season could be divided two groups whereas F value in second season = 14.66 *** L.S.D. = 29.24 individuals/240 fruits. The data indicated that the most affected by infestation species was zucchini showed that high abundant of population fluctuation in 12 nd of May in both seasons. In respect to, Zucchini was susceptible 72.21 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits in the first season but in the second season was highly susceptible with 98.63 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits, respectively. The mean susceptibility degree of the two tested seasons showed highly susceptible with 85.42 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits. Zucchini was showed that, D. ciliatus recorded the highest growth rate (4.24), taking time difference 21 days between initial D. ciliatus number 21 and maximum count 110(larvae stages) / 40 fruits in the first season. Data of the second season was showed the D. ciliatus recorded the highest growth rate 6.76 taking 21 day between the initial pest number No (12 (larvae stages) / 40 fruits and maximum count Nt (154 (larvae stages) / 40 fruits.

The aim of this study Sensitivity infestation by Cucurbita fly: Dacus ciliatus Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) on three different species cucurbits and their control. The results showed that the population fluctuation of the D. ciliatus infesting on three different species cucurbitae (cucumber, zucchini, and snake melon) fruits highly significant differences Whereas F value = F value in first season = 10.15 ** and L.S.D. = 21.11 individuals/240 fruits, could be divided three groups in first season but in the second season could be divided two groups whereas F value in second season = 14.66 *** L.S.D. = 29.24 individuals/240 fruits. The data indicated that the most affected by infestation species was zucchini showed that high abundant of population fluctuation in 12 nd of May in both seasons. In respect to, Zucchini was susceptible 72.21 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits in the first season but in the second season was highly susceptible with 98.63 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits, respectively. The mean susceptibility degree of the two tested seasons showed highly susceptible with 85.42 (larvae stages) / 240 fruits. Zucchini was showed that, D. ciliatus recorded the highest growth rate (4.24), taking time difference 21 days between initial D. ciliatus number 21 and maximum count 110(larvae stages) / 40 fruits in the first season. Data of the second season was showed the D. ciliatus recorded the highest growth rate 6.76 taking 21 day between the initial pest number No (12 (larvae stages) / 40 fruits and maximum count Nt (154 (larvae stages) / 40 fruits.
