It is widely known fact that tribal development has not been as effective as they were planned to be largely because of lack of transfer of technology in remote areas. Rajasthan has tribal population of 70 97706 (2001) constituting 12.56% of states population. The major constitution of tribal group is in Southern Part of Rajasthan. The tribal population on Banswara District is 8.49 lack which is 72.3% of total populations of district and 15.39% of total tribal population of state as per census 1991. Wheat production in India has increased by more than four times during the period of past two and half decades. Due to these spectacular increase there is an urgent need in the production and with storage techniques of wheat to meet the increasing demands. The success story of Green Revaluation in India is attributed mainly due to highest production of wheat crop. India stands fourth in area and production of wheat crop in the world. It is second important staple food crop after rice. The advent of irrigation will bring a social change in tribal areas. The Mahi Bajaj Sagar Irrigation Project is not only providing a firm footing for developing agriculture and industry in the Southern Part of Rajasthan but is also bringing about a Semi Economic Revolution in the life of the entire population of this region which mostly comprise of Adivasis. Civilization have flourished through edges by the sides of rivers. The water would be needed more to accelerate the activities aimed at social change growth and development of Indian economy. The book will be useful for agricultural university research stations state government marketing departments and district administration as well as for better production and to develop a conducive environment for wheat cultivation in the area of Southern Rajasthan for which the various aspects have been studies under the research study. 100 pp.

Organic farming is being talked at various forum as a new approach and panacea for conservation of soil health and natural resources. Huge organic wastes being produced at crop fields cattle yards poultry farms fish hatcheries municipal waste and garbage which need to be properly utilized to save our environment. This compendium presents basic concepts about the characteristics and composition of organic waste and its potentials for crop production. The chemistry and biochemistry of organic waste its decomposition and mineralisation and manifestations on soil physical chemical and microbial make up are highly specialized fields of study. Specialists in each of these topics have been invited to contribute and thus a comprehensive account on the biochemistry of organic residues as source of plant nutrients humification process and influence on soil fauna have been thoroughly dealt with. The compendium will be very useful for those involved in maintaining soil health natural resource conservation and organic farming movement. The book will also be equally beneficial for teachers and students of agricultural and environment sciences. 246 pp.

Live storage at present constitutes only 10% of the total water potential of the country. Hand in hand technology development in drilling and pumping methods has paved the way for massive exploitation of groundwater mainly for irrigation (85%) and for industry and domestic purposes (15%). Such a localized over drawl of ground water has to be compensated adequately by harnessing surplus monsoonal flows along with expansion of water storage capacities in enhancing the water availability. Stress would need to be laid on conjunctive use of surface and ground water in irrigated commands. Tube wells and wells are the major sources of irri.

Bryoecology and distribution. 6. Fertility perennation and dissemination. Bibliography. Index. Bryophytes are a diverse and distinct group of primitive plants with about 25 000 species distributed the world over making in the second largest group of land plants. They are considered as amphibians of plant kingdom owing to their presence to aquatic and other moist habitats. Bryophytes are characterized by the absence of vascular tissues and having a unique life as Buxbaumia. Though considered as Lilliputains of plant kingdom Bryophytes have achieved the greatest gametophytic diversity. The group includes three distinct lineages viz. liverwots hornwots and mosses. The present study provides the first hand consolidated account of Bryophytes of North Konkan which includes detailed illustration taxonomic account ecology and phytogeographical consideration of 100 species of Bryophytes belonging to 37 genera distributed over 24 families. The North Konkan is characterized by Sandy splits intruding into mud flats and wider creeks close to the sea and by low coastal range separated by longitudinal valleys away from the coast moreover with the Thalghat and Bhorghat gaps in the Sahyadric the North Konkan is actively linked with the vast real western gateway of India. Floristic study of Bryphytes has received little attention in India in general and North Konkan Coast in particular through this groups forms the largest group of land plants in term of species not much attention has been paid of Bryophytes of North Konkan except the work of Dabhade (1966) Menon (1992) Palav (1994) and Patil (1996). 326 pp.

Though the North western part of the state which includes the desert part has been thoroughly studied floristically its South and South eastern part has remained neglected and except for a few stray reports no systematic work on the floristics of this comparatively moist and floristically rich part of the state has ever been attempted before. The treatise includes a systematic and up to date presentation of 1378 plant species (including cultivated as well as ornamental) covering 126 families growing in this part of Rajasthan (Mewar region). In the introductory chapter physiognomy geology surface configurations the drainage system soils climate rainfall temperature and relative humidity of the study area has been described. Natural vegetation of Rajasthan as existed during the mid sixties and its classification has been provided. Some characteristic associations such as Flora of Ancient Monuments and walls lithophytes weeds flora of wastelands aquatic vegetation specialized Angiosperms cultivated plants ornamentals rare vulnerable and endangered plants exotic plants and sanctuaries have been described. Plan of preparation of the flora abbreviations used and taxonomic terminology have been provided for the easy comprehension of the subject. The system of Bentham and Hooker has been followed except at certain places where the circumscription of the families follows that of Hutchinson's Families of Flowering Plants. Critical notes on the controversial taxa have been provided. Attempts have been made to give a common diagnostic identification key for wild as well as cultivated plants. The treatise also contains illustrations of some important plants as well as distributional maps of the plant communities and geographical maps of the area. It is hoped that the volume will be useful to the persons working in the field of taxonomy Floristic Agriculture Forestry and Ethonobotany. 726 pp.
