High hills

Viburnum mullaha is a popular wild edible fruit widely distributed in Nepal’s mid-hills. Locals consume the fruits of the plants raw and use them to treat a variety of diseases. High value of fat (15%) and protein (3.94%) was evaluated in the seed compared to the pulp with fat 2.1% and protein 1.17%. Both the pulp and the seed exhibited high values of total phenolic content (3346.1 1 ± 0.05 and 2331.03 ± 0.02 mg QAEs/100 g respectively).

Disturbance is an important factor affecting community composition and biodiversity in natural ecosystems. The Ventania hill system in central Argentina presents several ecosystem disturbances. Spiders are good candidates for studies related to human impact and conservation, as they can be good biological indicators of certain ecosystems. Therefore, we tried to elucidate if the abundance and spatial distribution of the mygalomorph spider Acanthogonatus centralis (Nemesiidae) are affected by different degrees of disturbance in these hilly grasslands.

The steady-state growth of recombinant ClpC1 protein in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth High Salt medium was maintained and stabilized after extraction. The determined ATPase activity of ClpC1 was performed by measuring the released phosphate from the reaction. Ecumicin was chosen to be a control compound with expected ATP hydrolysis activities (Hill coefficient = 1,19 ± 0,217; Kd value = 0,52 ± 0,275).

A field experiment was conducted at Eastern Block Farm, Department of Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during kharif 2017 and 2018 (July to November) to identify the rooting pattern and productivity of maize under high density planting. The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice. This study comprised of nine treatments which include four mixtures of spacings with one or two seedlings per hill and diverse fertilizer doses.

A survey was conducted in Kodaikanal hills of Tamil Nadu, India to know the association of root-knot nemtode, Meloidogyne hapla in carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus). The nematode was found in eight carrot growing villages surveyed at Kodaikanal. Infestation was high (150-300 nematodes/200 cm3 soil) at Poomparai followed by moderate (50-150 nematodes/200 cm3 soil) at Poondi, Kookal, Mannavanur and Shenbananur villages.

Wild pomegranate is one of the important cash crop tree species of the mid-hill zone of western Himalayan region. A multistage random sampling technique was used for the selection of the respondents. The analysis was based on data based on survey of 50 farm households. Highest efficiency of channel-A was observed (271.73) but the volume transacted was very less (5 %) and high quality produce was traded through this channel.

Nine typical pedons representing major quartzite-schistose landscape in tropical ecosystem of Goa viz., high hills, restricted summits, low hills, inter-hilly valley and narrow valley under varying land use were studied for their morphological characteristics, physical and chemical properties, soil genesis and taxonomy. The soils were slightly to moderately acidic in reaction, very shallow to very deep. Texture of the soils varied from gravelly sandy clay loam to gravelly clay on the hills and sandy clay loam to clay in valley soils.

A study was conducted to analyze the factors associated with knowledge and adoption of sheep husbandry in Rajouri district of UT of Jammu & Kashmir. The test of significance showed that adopters had higher socio-economic status as compared to non-adopters. The test also proved that there was a significant difference between adopters and non-adopters regarding knowledge about sheep rearing and that adopters had more knowledge than non-adopters.

Flavonoids are the potent therapeutical biochemicals which occur in almost all plant taxa at variable amounts. In this present article based on the ethnobotanical claims and literature survey we have investigated the presence and quantified the important flavonoids in selected taxa inhabitating Tirumala hills. Paper chromatography technique were used for the detection and the flavonoids like rutin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, apigenin, orientin and vitexin were detected with the help of Rf values and colour reactions with chromogenic spray reagents in different propositions.

The study was conducted to know the soil fertility status of different cropping systems in hill zone acid soils of Karnataka. In each cropping systems, samples were collected from two depths (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) at 20 locations randomly. Soil characterization revealed that soils were slightly acidic to moderately acidic in range with low soluble salts. Surface soils under paddy cropping system recorded higher exchangeable Al3+ and exchangeable acidity compared to coffee and areca cropping system.
