The study pertains to data collected from randomly selected 67 lac growers of 10 villages in Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh for the year 2020-2021. The study indicates that more than 80% lac growers in Mandla district are small, semi medium and medium farmers. Majority of farmers (34.32%) belong to middle age group followed by young age group (31.34%). The study revealed that 59.7% lac growers have family members up to 5-7 and educated up to middle school level (40.3%). The resources endowment in terms of the availability of host trees for lac cultivation varies from >25 to <200 trees. In terms of production maximum lac growers (38.81%) average production of 70.91 kg followed by 16.42% had average production 124.28 kg, 16.42% had 38.18 kg average production. Amongst the different source of income of lac growers, Agriculture crop ranked 1st (50.62%) followed by Lac crop (22.9%). Income of selected farmers from lac crop in the study 31.34% farmers earn between Rs. 10,001-20,000 followed by 23.88% farmers between 5001 to 10000 and 23.88% farmers get upto 5000, 10.45% farmers earn more than 40001, 7.46% earn Rs 20001-30000 and only 2.99% farmers get between Rs. 30,000-40,000 annually from lac production. In term of income sharing the maximum number of the farmers (32.84%) contributed 10-20% while only 11.94% farmers contributed more than 40% by lac. Implications of the present study will be helpful in strengthening the socio-economic condition of lac growers and lac marketing scenario of Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh is rich in floristic as well as ethnic diversity. It comprises 50 Districts and forest covers 30.9% of the total area of the state. More than 41 tribal communities reside in or around the forests and depend mainly on forest resources for their daily requirements like food, fodder, fibre, gum, resin, tannin, wood, medicines, dye etc. Presently, there are a number of ethnobotanical studies being carried out in different tribal inhabited localities of Madhya Pradesh. The paper deals with the 91 weed species of probable medicinal potential, belonging to 79 genera and 38 families from Madhya Pradesh. These taxa are used for curing various ailments among the different ethnic societies.

Detailed study on seed storage and germination trailed in Knema attenuata (Wall. ex Hook. f. & Thomson) Warb.– the IUCN Red Listed ‘least concern’ medicinal tree species revealed that seeds were of recalcitrant nature. Viability of the seeds could be maintained for a longer period of up to 6 months with 47% Moisture content (mc) when kept in closed polycarbonate bottles at seed bank condition [20±20C Temp. and 40% Relative Humidity (RH)]. The 55% seed germination under normal climatic condition could be enhanced to a much higher percentage (75±5) inside the mist house chamber (34±30C Temp. and 70-80% RH).

Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb. ex G. Don (Syn. E. angustifolius Bl., E. sphaericus (Gaertn.) K. Schum.) occurs naturally in various parts of India and elsewhere in the world. The plant has poor regeneration in the wild and has been reported as a threatened species in the north-eastern region of India. This plant, known as Rudraksha in India, has been considered very sacred and pious for devotees in Hinduism. As, only limited studies have been carried out on morphometrics of the endocarp, seed and embryo of this species, therefore, the required studies on these aspects including detection of seed presence within the endocarp through X-Ray imaging were carried out and reported in the present article. Findings of the study will be helpful in correct identification of this important species and also in making comparison in case of infrageneric classification and grouping of various Elaeocarpus species within Ganitrus Group (Group V, sub group A).
Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb。例Don(同E. angustifolius Bl., E. sphaericus (Gaertn.))舒姆(K. Schum.)自然生长在印度和世界其他地方的许多地方。这种植物在野外的再生能力很差,据报道在印度东北部地区是一种受威胁的物种。这种植物在印度被称为Rudraksha,在印度教中被认为是非常神圣和虔诚的。由于对该物种的内果皮、种子和胚胎的形态计量学研究有限,因此,本文对这些方面的研究进行了必要的研究,包括通过x射线成像检测内果皮内是否存在种子。本研究结果将有助于正确鉴定这一重要物种,并对Ganitrus类群(V类群,A亚类群)内各Elaeocarpus种的分类和类群进行比较。

The intricate dependence of cattle on agriculture resources for their population sustenance, which in turn, is a subsidiary source of income and supplementary insurance of people to maintain equilibrium of the social demography, mainly during collapse in crop yields. In such conditions, cattle raisers are forced to utilize alternate fodder resources from trees growing in vicinity which may lead to their over exploitation and population shrinkage. Identification and recognition of such trees is therefore necessary for population sustenance of both cattle and their fodder resources to avert imbalance in the community structure. The present paper enumerates 132 tree species as potential cattle fodder resources of Madhya Pradesh having highest cattle population in India.

The study provides insights into the role of an informal institution of the Santhal tribe of India in the conservation of biodiversity. The data has been collected from 124 Santhal key informants from six tribal districts from the states of Jharkhand (Dumka, Pakur and Sahibganj) and West Bengal (Birbhum, Bankura and West Medinipur) through the methods of stratified sampling, chain-referrals, personal interactions, and focussed group discussions. The taboos associated with biodiversity conservation have been categorized into six categories such as segment taboo, specific-species taboo, life-stage taboo, temporal taboo, habitat taboo and method taboo.
