Knowledge of Farmers about production technology of root and tuber cropsVedant Girawale
It is believable that to motivate farmers for adopting package of
practices of root & tuber crops for food security and nutritional security is very much essential. Final decision of farmers to adopt root & tuber crops cultivation is usually the result of their knowledge about package of practices of tuber crops. Therefore, it was felt necessary to study level of knowledge of the farmers about package of practices of root & tuber crops in Navsari distrist of south Gujarat, India.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Identify Methods of Reforestation
· The majority of forest owners rely on
natural regeneration to restore most
stands after logging.
· However, in some instances human
intervention is necessary.
· In these cases, foresters artificially reforest
an area.
· Some methods by which this
accomplished are:
4. 4
Wild Seedlings
· Wild seedlings are those growing in
the woods in a natural state.
· For all practical purposes, digging
up and transplanting of such
seedlings for reforestation purposes
should be avoided.
· Such practice is uneconomical and
inefficient.
5. 5
Direct Seeding
· Sowing repellent-coated seeds on
an area where trees are desired is
known as direct seeding.
· This method can be effectively and
successfully employed under proper
conditions.
6. 6
Direct Seeding
· Large areas can be directly seeded
by hand, airplane, cyclone seeder,
or grain drill.
· Also, the cost of establishing a
stand by this method is usually less
than the cost of planting tree
seedlings.
7. 7
Some factors that affect the
success of direct seeding are:
· Vegetative cover - Heavy vegetative
cover can prevent seed from
reaching the soil and interferes with
germination.
· A prescribed burn can be used prior
to seeding to remove such cover in
the desired area.
8. 8
Some factors that affect the
success of direct seeding are:
· Soil moisture - Soil moisture affects
germination of seed and growth of
seedlings.
· An insufficient amount of moisture
following direct seeding will result in
a low germination rate and/or a high
mortality rate of seedlings.
9. 9
Some factors that affect the
success of direct seeding are:
· Birds and rodents - Birds and
rodents consume seed for food.
· Therefore, seed should be treated
with a bird and rodent repellent
before being broadcasted.
10. 10
Cuttings
· Some species of trees can be
reproduced from cuttings.
· Cuttings are pieces of branches,
usually 20 to 30 cm in length, cut
from a tree.
· Examples of species that can
reproduce via this method are willow,
cottonwood, and several conifers.
11. 11
Nursery Seedlings
· The planting of nursery-grown
seedlings will increase the
probability of establishing a good
stand.
· Nursery seedlings are usually
planted barerooted because of the
ease of transporting and handling
seedlings with this method.
13. 13
Containerized Seedlings
· Using containerized seedlings for
reforestation is becoming increasingly
accepted.
· In this method, seeds are germinated in
small pots of soil or other growing
medium.
· After 8 to 32 weeks, the seedlings are
planted without disturbing their roots.
14. 14
Pistachio saplings at the Department
of Agriculture farm in the Tagab
District of Badakshan are grown and
waiting to be distributed to farmers.
15. 15
Advantages of this method are:
· Improved rates of survival and
growth of seedlings.
· Difficult species are more readily
produced.
· The planting season can be
extended.
16. 16
Disadvantages of this method
are:
· Cost. Containerized seedlings often
cost at least twice as much as bare
root stock.
· Seedlings are bulky, making them
more difficult to handle and
transport.
· Requires more site preparation than
direct seeding
17. 17
Explain Tree Planting Guidelines
· A number of key factors should be
considered when planning to
reforest an area.
· They are:
18. 18
Tree Planting Guidelines
· Estimating needs - It is important to
order the proper species and
number of seedlings required for the
area to be reforested.
· If an open area is to be reforested,
the following guide gives the
number of seedlings per acre,
depending on spacing used:
20. 20
Tree Planting Guidelines
· Areas in need of planting - The area
that will be planted during the
reforestation process should be
considered in selecting the species
to be planted.
21. 21
Some possible locations are:
· 1. Cleared or abandoned farmlands
· 2. Non restocking forest land
· 3. Openings in forest stands
· 4. Watershed protection areas
· 5. Windbreaks
22. 22
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· There are several steps to follow to
properly plant a tree seedling.
23. 23
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· Before planting, seedlings may be
stacked in layers 8 to 10 deep for
temporary storage without any
adverse effects.
· It is important however to plant the
seedlings as soon as possible after
receiving them from the nursery.
24. 24
Heel-in Seedlings
· To heel-in seedlings means to store the
young trees prior to planting by placing
them in a trench and covering their
roots with soil.
· In this process, seedlings are placed in
a V-shaped heel-in trench and allowed
to lean parallel to one side of the trench.
· The roots must be fully extended to the
bottom of the trench.
25. 25
Heel-in Seedlings
· A seedling with curled roots will be
difficult to plant correctly later.
· After placing the seedling in the trench,
fill it three-fourths full with soil.
· The soil is then packed around the roots
and then the rest of the trench is filled
with soil.
· The soil is then covered with leaves to
conserve soil moisture.
27. 27
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· The site in which the seedlings will
be planted must be prepared by
removing any excess vegetative
cover.
· This may be accomplished through
prescribed burning, bulldozers,
brush cutters, or plows.
28. 28
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· Spacing of trees depends on the
owner’s objective.
· In pine trees, a spacing of 1.8 × 2.4
meters or 2.4 x 2.4 meter favors
maximum cubic meter volume growth.
· A spacing of 3.6 meters between rows
is sometimes used to allow the passage
of vehicles and equipment.
29. 29
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· Wide spacing, such as 3.1 x 3.1
meters or 3.6 x 3.6 meters often
allows trees to grow to large
diameters in a relatively short time.
30. 30
How to Properly Plant a Seedling
· There are a variety of procedures
that can be used to plant seedlings.
· As a rule, only about 75 to 80
percent of all properly planted
seedlings will survive.
32. 32
Some of the procedures are:
· Hand planting - The planting bar (dibble) is a
metal tool used to make a hole in the soil
and is one of the best tools for planting
seedlings by hand.
· The planting bar has four parts: handle, shaft,
blade, and foot step.
· The wedge-shaped steel blade is is usually 20
to 25 centimeters long and about 7.6
centimeters wide, tapering to a sharp edge
at the base.
· A shovel can also be used; it just takes
longer to plant trees.
34. 34
In Nuristan Province, a USAID field technician shows
farmers how to plant a sapling. During the March 2009
campaign to restore forestry in eastern Afghanistan, 1.2
million trees were planted.
35. 35
Some of the procedures are:
· Machine planting - As expected,
machine planting is much faster
than hand planting.
· A two-person crew can set out
7,000 to 10,000 seedlings a day on
suitable sites.
