Significant differences were observed in germination percentage and seedling vigour index of H. spicatum treated with different pre-sowing treatments. Maximum germination of 98 per cent was recorded in seeds treated with GA3 400ppm followed by 91 per cent germination in seeds treated with GA3 300ppm, 90.33 per cent germination in seeds treated with GA3500ppm and 88.00 per cent in seeds treated with GA3 600ppm. Minimum germination of 74.33 per cent was recorded in seeds which were not given pre-sowing treatment. Similarly, maximum seedling vigour index (561.85) was also recorded in seeds treated with GA3 whereas, minimum seedling vigour index (422.40) was recorded in untreated seeds. Therefore, seeds of H. spicatum should be treated with GA3 400ppm before sowing in the nursery for better germination and seedling vigour.","PeriodicalId":259027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Timber Forest Products","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126240758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DC., an important medicinal plant species, in its natural habitats in Kerala were analyzed based on the observations on ten salient morphological characters recorded from thirty populations of the species distributed across Palakkad, Malappuram and Kozhikode districts of Kerala state, India. All the ten characters studied such as plant height, number of branches per plant, length of branches, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf area, internodal length, number of inflorescences per plant, length of peduncle and fresh weight of plants showed statistically significant variations between the populations. The interrelationship between the characters and their association was also studied. Leaf length and leaf area showed significant positive correlation with three characters each. Number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, internodal length, number of inflorescences per plant and fresh plant weight showed significant positive correlation with two characters each. Plant height, length of branches and length of peduncle showed no significant positive correlation with any of the characters. By factor analysis three factors could be extracted and number of inflorescences per plant, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant and length of branches were found to be the lead characters. Highly significant variability with regard to morphological characters indicates the strong genetic base of the plant species in the field. However, care should be taken to conserve the gene pool of the species especially under the present conditions of environmental threats.","PeriodicalId":259027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Timber Forest Products","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124706970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The destructive harvest of the plant over a period for both stem and root has resulted in the scarcity of reproductive individuals in their distributional range and subsequent arrest of natural regeneration. The present study is therefore conducted to raise the genetic stock of the species by enhancing the seed germination percentage through the application of high humidity, temperature and wet sowing medium at field conditions. The seeds sowed in wet river sand inside a poly tunnel having 72-80% RH and 32-38oC, resulted 85% seed germination and 15-20% of seeds have maintained their viability period up to 10-12 months. In normal climatic condition only 40% total germination were noted. These methods could be a very effective technique for a lay-man to propagate maximum number of this highly potential species from its available seed stock.","PeriodicalId":259027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Timber Forest Products","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128515080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The element analysis from thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the chlorine was available as Cl-, Cl2 or HCl to react with C2 (Tungsten carbide 6% cobalt) in gas phase reaction. The weight loss of C2 in TGA is characteristics of volatile corrosion products such as CoCl3 (Cobalt trivalent chloride) as the result of oxidation chlorination of cobalt. It is seen that, diffusing element boron to the substrate surface of a metal form a chemical layer which increases the tool life by reducing cobalt binder removal.","PeriodicalId":259027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Timber Forest Products","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126393135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
