- Chestnut is a temperate tree species that has been cultivated for over 4000 years for its wood, nuts, and other uses.
- The nuts are nutritious, low in fat but high in carbohydrates and vitamins. Chestnuts are mostly grown for food use but the wood is also used commercially.
- Chestnut trees can be propagated through seeds or grafting and require well-drained soil and moderate watering to grow well. Proper pollination and harvesting techniques are needed to produce high nut yields.

CLOVE
Scientific Name : Syzygium aromaticum
Family : Myrtaceae
Chromosome number :- 22
Origin place :-Molluccas Island of Eastern Indonesia
The clove is one of the important tree spice crop grown in India.
The clove of commerce is the fully grown but unopened aromatic dried flower bud of an evergreen tree syzygium aromaticum.
The term 'clove' is derived from the French word 'cloy' and the English word 'clout', both meaning 'nail.The volatile oil obtained from the clove bud contains mainly (80-90%) and caryophyllene (4-8%).
Area and Production:-
In India the clove is cultivated in an area of 2,600 ha. with annual production of 1,160 tonnes. The productivity is 400 kg/ha.
Botany :-
The clove is an evergreen tree growing to a height of 7-15 m.
It begins to fork near the base, into two or three main erect branches. The smaller branches are semi-erect, the twigs are brittle, smooth and greyish-white in colour, and the whole head is bushy and dense.
The leaves are simple, opposite, exstipulate, glabrous and aromatic owing to plenty of oil glands on the lower surface. The new leaves appear in flushes and are bright pink.
The hermaphrodite flowers are borne on a terminal, corymbose, trichotomous panicle.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. TAXONOMY
• Scientific name : Castanea sativa
• Family : Fagaceae
• Ch No : 2n=12
• Native to the temperate region of the Northern Hemisphere
3. • Chestnut trees are growing
in temperate climate of the
world for more than 4000
years for beauty, fuel and
shelter
• Its wood is durable and
used for timber and furniture
work
4. • Sweet chestnut is nutritious. Low in fat and rich in vitamin B.
• Freshly harvested nuts contains 50% moisture, 40-42 %
carbohydrates, 2.9% proteins and 1.5 % fats
• Chestnut contain little oil and are high in carbohydrate
particularly in starch
5.
6. Morphology
LEAF
• The American chestnut has long canoe
shaped leaves with a prominent lance-shaped
tip, with a coarse, forward hooked teeth at the
edge of the leaf.
• The leaf is dull or “matte” rather than shiny or
waxy in texture.
7. FLOWER
• The flowers of the chestnut tree are long,
drooping catkins that appear on the trees in
spring.
• Each tree bears both male and female flowers,
but they cannot self-pollinate.
• The potent fragrance of the flowers attracts
insect pollinators.
12. COMMON NAME BOTANICAL NAME
Chinese chestnut Castanea mollissium
Japanese chestnut Castanea crenata
European chestnut Castanea sativa
Seguin chestnut Castanea seguinii
Castanea devidii
Allegany chinkapin Castanea pumila
Ozark chinkapin Castanea ozarkenin
Ashe chinkapin Castanea ashei
Florida chinkapin Castanea floridana
Henry chinkapin Castanea henryi
13. chinkapin
• Chinkapin have only one small , pointed nut per bur(versus up to 3 nuts per bur
for chestnut).
• Chinkapin burs open into two sections whereas chestnut burs open into 4
sections.
22. ABUNDANCE
• It is a seedling selection of Chinese chestnut . Nut size reduced with
increase of plant age.
NANKING
• Nuts are dark brown ,plants are heavy and regular bearer.
BELLE EPINE
• This is European type of pollinizer variety , resistant to root rot.
23. BORRA
• This is European type with high quality large size of nut.
CRANE
• This is Chinese type variety .The nuts are larger in size , shell is dark red.
CASTLE DEL RIO
• It is European type , praised for large sized , high quality nut.
24. SOIL
• Chestnut require a deep , well drained soil , with sandy loam texture.
• Soil pH should be acidic , between 5 and 6.5
• Chestnut won’t tolerate calcareous soils.
• Does not thrive with waterlogged soil.
25. CLIMATE
• The species of chestnut grows in a wide range of climate.
• Chinese chestnut can withstand temperature upto -32 degree Celsius without
injury at dormant conditions.
• The optimum rainfall for chestnut trees is 800mm or more , ideally even
distribution throughout the year.
26. PROPAGATION
• Sexual and Asexual methods are used for chestnut propagation.
• Chestnut is propagated by seed for seedling production for rootstock or producing
the hybrids.
• For commercial production it is propagated by grafting , budding , layering , or
micro propagation.
27.
28. ROOTSTOCK
• The seedling of the same species should be used as rootstock in chestnut.
• Chinese chestnut seedlings are used as rootstock due to their resistance to
chestnut blight and cold injury.
• Most popular clonal root stocks are Euro-Japanese hybrids .
29. NUT STRATIFICATION
• After harvest seeds are stratified for 50-60 days in moist sand at 0-2.2 degree
Celsius to break dormancy and ensure uniform germination.
• Stratification in moist sand kept in wooden boxes at cool shady place is better
than in refrigerator – fluctuating temperature under field condition promote seed
germination.
• Stratified seeds are sown in nursery beds in march.
30.
31. MANURES and fertilization
• Chestnut trees are mostly planted on eroded upland soils , so it is important to
fertilize trees regularly.
• 15:15:15 NPK mixture per year age of tree should be applied before sprouting or
in early spring.
• Full bearing trees should be supplied with 100kg FYM and 6-8 kg of NPK mixture
during December – January.
32. Irrigation
•Well established trees can withstand moderate amount of drought
•Chestnut is generally grown under rain-fed conditions but needs adequate
moisture for at least 2 months after blooming.
• Irrigation at fortnightly intervals afterblooming is desirable for better fruit size,
yield and nut quality.
33. Inter culture:
• Row crops such as corn, soyabean or other pulses can be grown between the
trees for the first few years.
• Filler trees of stone fruits can be planted for supplementing income in the early
years and should be removed later on after chestnut plants start bearing full
crops.
34. Pollination:
• All cultivars and species of chestnut are self sterile.Two or more cultivars and
seedling must be planted in the orchard to ensure cross pollination.
• Young orchard trees may not set nuts when the first flowers are formed because
of lack of pollination.
• When young trees start flowering the few staminate catkins apparently do not
produce enough pollen to fertilize the pistillate flowers.
• Chestnut is wind pollinated as well as insect
35.
36. Maturity and Harvesting
• The chestnut mature in the first fortnight of october in Himachal conditions.
• The bur colour changes from green to lightbrownish and split open during maturity
releasing the nuts.
• Chestnut are very perishable crop that require prompt harvesting every third days.
• Traditionally, chestnut are hand gathered fromground after falling naturally.
• In USA and other developed countries the chestnut are harvested mechanically by
shaking the burs from the trees and using mechanical pick up device together the
nuts.
38. • Nuts are highly perishable because it loose moisture rapidly at
room temperature.
• Fresh chest nuts,stil in their shells,we will keep for about a
week in a cool, dry place.
• To store them longer period, place them in a plastic bag-
perforated to allow for air circulation and refrigerate them for a
month.
• Fresh nuts 8 weeks @ 4-5°C
• Dry nuts (10% moisture) 12 months at 4-5°C.
