The study is an attempt to document the current practice of cultivation, processing and marketing of safed musli in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh. A sample of farmers (N=267) were interviewed to study the cultivation, harvesting and economics of safed musli. Study revealed that it is economically viable, easy to cultivate and gives good returns to farmers. However, there are some risks which farmers are facing due to fungus attack which needs to be addressed soon.

Eugenia roxburghii is an evergreen graceful shrub with a tremendous potential as garden plant. As a part of ex-situ conservation and popularization of the species, seed longevity was studied by understanding the relationship of seed viability with respect to different moisture contents and storage temperature. Seeds are recognized as recalcitrant, being desiccation as well as chilling sensitive. During hermetic storage, seeds stored at 300C/70%RH retained viability for about 5 months and 4 months in 200C/20% RH. Seeds can be best stored for five months in laboratory conditions.

Activated carbon is an important component of filter material for the removal of hazardous components in exhaust gases, for the purification of drinking water and for waste water treatment. The demand for activated carbon will continue to rise due to its wide range of use as a result of environmental compliances in many countries. Present paper focuses on synthesis of Activated Charcoal from various species of Bamboo and its application in the areas of Air and Water filtration. It is found that bamboo has the potential to be a promising precursor for the production of activated carbon. The characteristics of the bamboo activated carbon are comparable with commercial ones. Some species of bamboo were reported to have Iodine Value of about 1100mg/ gm (ASTM, 2011).

Classical taxonomic studies of the bamboos are based on floral morphology and growth habit, which can cause problems in identification due to erratic flowering. Identification and genetic relationships in 18 species of bamboo were investigated using SDS-PAGE and RAPD analysis. Protein profiles of 18 bamboo species revealed clear polymorphism which can be used to identify species. Dendrogram based on SDS-PAGE data separated 18 species into two major clusters with Bambusa nutans & B. polymorpha, Gigantochloa andamanica & Dendrocalamus longispathus, G. andamanica & D. gigangteus showed maximum similarity of 71.4% in each case while genotype B. tulda and B. nutans (10.4%) showed lowest similarity. On the other hand, RAPD analysis proved to be a better tool with 14.67 as an average number of bands per polymorphic primers. Dendrogram based on RAPD separated 18 species into 2 major clusters with D. membranaceous and B.multiplex showed maximum similarity of 83% while genotype D. asper and B. balcooa showed least similarity (10.6%).

The present study deals with documentation of dye yielding plant diversity in Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary, Tamil Nadu. The local inhabitants of this sanctuary use different colours or dye obtained from plants for different purposes. The dye yielding plants have different medicinal and economic values and it has also been known that the natural dyes are eco-friendly and not harmful. 42 natural dye yielding plants under 39 genera belonging to 25 families have been recorded from the sanctuary. This article deals with details of dye yielding plants along with their botanical name, vernacular name, family, habit and dye yielding plant parts used.

Three important high value medicinal plants of Madhya Pradesh viz., Embelia tsjeriam-cottam, Celastrus paniculatus and Centratherum anthelminticum were selected for demand-supply estimation as the prices of these species had shot tremendously during past five years and not much information was available on this. Demand for these species was estimated by interviewing 191 Ayurvedic and other Indian system of Medicine (ISM) industries about their annual requirements in drug preparations. Supply from forests and other sources was estimated by interviewing traders at each block level where the species occur and quantity of trade district wise. Total demand for Embelia tsjeriam-cottam (Baibirang) is 37.79 quintals and supply is 248 quintals in M.P. In the case of Celastrus paniculatus (Malkangni) the demand in the state is for 42.9 quintals and supply 218.5 quintals. Similarly for Centratherum anthelminticum (Vanjeera) also the demand is 213.80 quintals and supply available is 2610 quintals. The state is therefore surplus in these medicinal plants and 89-90% of raw material is reported to be supplied to other states.

Taking note of the fact that bamboo is a source of income for poor in India including floodplain areas of Uttar Pradesh, present study was undertaken in Uttar Pradesh to assess the importance of utilizing bamboo as an important source of feed and fodder for livestock. Bamboo leaves and twigs, being palatable, can be chewed by cattle and it can be used as a nutrient rich green fodder and dry fodder for cattle in rural areas thereby reducing the consumption of expensive feed concentrates for livestock, poultry and fish. Under current societal regimes, very few people use bamboo leaves as a livestock fodder. Bamboo leaves and twigs and concentrates when used as a supplement yielded satisfactory results. Ensuring continuous supply of nutrient rich feed and fodder is critical to the agriculture, dairy and meat production and also fisheries. The present paper discusses the methods to explore the potential of bamboo as feed and fodder for livestock to improve the overall health and productivity of livestock.

Melocanna baccifera (Roxb.) Kurz is a versatile NTFP resource. It forms natural bamboo vegetation extended over about 35,86,410 ha of hilly forests distributed only in the geographical region of northeast India, Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) and Sylhet of Bangladesh, and Arakan hills of Myanmar. The major biological attributes of M.baccifera that strengthen the species capability in competing other bamboo and tree species in colonizing the hills of the above region are identified. These are underground extensive rhizome net-work with much elongated rhizome necks, the diffused nature of clump to provide room for more number of culms annually, rapid expansion rate of clump, tolerance to biotic interference including fire, huge production of fertile seeds with faster seedling growth, etc. The higher density of pagoda like erect solitary culms with radiating unequal numerous branches provide better mechanism in intercepting the rain water to the ground by throughfall and stemflow. The bamboo forest (BF) has profuse root growth and dense root distribution in the 0-66cm of soil depth and as a result ground is more porous in terms of non-capillary and total porosity of the soil mass. The large scale death of M.baccifera forests due to recent (2002-2010) flowering has mixed impact on the hill ecosystem, biodiversity and socio-economy of indigenous people.

A survey for documenting traditional medicinal knowledge was conducted in district Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India. Intensive exploratory surveys were carried out in the villages and data was collected on use of plants as folk medicines by local communities as enlisted in the paper. The information on 103 plant species belonging to 93 genera and 52 families along with their botanical names, local names, and traditional medicinal formulations for the treatment of various diseases has been documented during the present study. This paper will provide an insight on the associated traditional knowledge of the medicinal plant species used by the rural communities in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.
