For achieving and maintaining self sufficiency in rice, in view of ever increasing population, rice production has to be enhanced on a continual basis. The appropriate relationship between source sink and their capacity is essential to determine the yield especially in rice. In present investigation the impact of source limitation on assimilate partitioning and yield attributes to optimize the production potential and physiological basis of higher yield contributing traits in the ten genotypes. It was observed that the impact of source limitation was more pronounced in var. Dagad Desi, ARB-6, Ananda which exhibited maximum stability for grain yield. It was mainly due to the proline association with the morphological and phenological parameters as well as physiological behaviour, which ultimately raised growth rate, whereas in (control) Mahamaya and Swarna performed well. Yield was inversely related with ATR. Among cultivars, yield was directly correlated with maximum ATR under stress conditions and cultivar Swarna/ IR and Swarna maintained better translocation under stress than did the other cultivars. It clearly indicates that the defoliation of (100% leaf removal) plays significant positive contribution in balancing source sink, relatively which influenced the yield of crop and facilitating the better harvesting. Thus, it can be clearly suggested that the leaves (source) could determine the degree of plant performance and control the level of filled grain in rice.","PeriodicalId":411017,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FORESTRY AND CROP IMPROVEMENT","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114510040","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}

Sample villages and representative households were selected using multi-stage random sampling for field study through structured interviews and personal observations. Correlation and multiple regression analysis was carried out to establish the relationship between socioeconomic and forest resource parameters and fuel wood consumption. Results show that the total extraction of fuel wood in the sample villages was 224.64 tons annum -1 , which is mostly consumed in cooking (45.60%). Of the total extraction, 26.17 per cent was secured from forests and rest (73.83%) from other sources. All the independent variables put together had contributed to 78.60 per cent (R 2 = 0.786) variation on the fuel wood consumption and the key variables viz., family composition, size of land holding, housing status, frequency of forest visits and extent of agroforestry/homestead plantation had significant contribution in influencing the fuel wood consumption. The fuel wood flow from forests to the sample villages is excessive as compared to the national estimates, creating threats to the biodiversity conservation and ecological stability of the adjoining forests of the area. The over-utilization of forest biomass by the local populace is leading to a depletion of forest resources and diminished biomass productivity, which in turn induce socio-economic and livelihood stress. Therefore, some alternative interventions are required to be implemented efficiently to keep pace with the current development and future challenges.","PeriodicalId":411017,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FORESTRY AND CROP IMPROVEMENT","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126489099","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}

They used as drought and famine foods, not only because they survive in low rainfall periods, but can also be an important source of water. Looking to the importance of wild tuberous crop in the tribal dominating region of the State an ethno botanical study was conducted to document and compile the wild edible tubers that had been observed and investigated in Central part of Bastar region of Chhattisgarh State. So that their importance, traditional uses could be realized. A total of 22 wild edible tubers were identified and recorded as food sources during the study period were Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, Asparagus racemosus, Chlorophytum borivilianum, Colocasia esculenta,Costus speciosus, Curculigo orchioides, Curcuma amada, Curcuma angustifolia, Curcuma caesia, Dendrocalamus strictus, Dioscorea alata, Dioscorea bulbifera, Dioscorea hispida, Dioscorea oppositifolia, Dioscorea pentaphylla, Dioscorea bulbifera var. pulchella, Hibiscus rugosus, Ipomoea batatas, Leea macrophylla, Pueraria tuberosa, Scirpus grossus, Urginea indica . Dioscorea or commonly known as yam was reported to be one of the major food sources in Bastar region. It was noticed that Dioscorea available as major tuber crops and highly utilized tuber species. The majority of villagers used Dioscorea in many ways in their life such as for food, medicinal purposes and fish poison. The 22 edible tuberous and root plants were belongs to the 13 families out of which Dioscoreaceae, Zingiberaceae, Liliaceae and Araceae had more than one identified plants whereas the families like Costaceae, Asparagaceae, Hypoxidaceae, Poaceae, Leeaceae, Fabaceae, Cyperaceae, Malvaceae, Convolvulaceae had only one edible tuber plant during period of study. The wild tubers are the dietary food and of seasonal resources of the tribals in forest dominating areas. Although the popularity of these wild tubers has declined, it is considered that special attention should be given to them in order to maintain and improve this important source of food supply in the area. This paper dealt with the wild edible tubers plant utilized by the tribal's of Bastar for their sustenance. The wild edible tubers plant of Bastar illustrated and documented for their utilization pattern.","PeriodicalId":411017,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FORESTRY AND CROP IMPROVEMENT","volume":"14 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":"133486164","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}
