Methane emission from various sources of biosphere contributes to the global warming/climate change related problems. Methane release from standing dead or age old trees, a new-fangled source for emission of CH4, was investigated. The experiment was carried out in tropical and subtropical forest ecoregions of Western Ghats of India. A standardized protocol was formulated for sampling and analysis of the gas samples collected from dead/decay trees. Based on our standardized protocol maximum and minimum emission of CH4 concentration was recorded.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world for its spice and medicinal values. The emergence and early growth of ginger is inherently slow and weed growth can impact on yield. It has slow initial growth rate and shallow root system. As a result, it is invaded by a variety of weeds. A field experiment was carried out during 2015-16 and 2016-17 in randomized block design with three replications under AICRP on Weed Management at College of Horticulture and Forestry, CAU, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, India with nine treatments.
