ABSTRACT : The Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, belonging to the CombretumTerminalia deciduouswoodlands of the dry forests of Ethiopia, forms the largest vegetation cover and is widespread in thenorthern and north-western lowland part of the country. This paper has tried to review and discuss thecurrent contribution of the Boswellia dominated woodlands and its main threats which contributed for itsdegradation based on different empirical studies. From the review it is understood that the Boswelliadominated woodland represents important natural resources on which development could be based since itoffer diverse products of commerce such as incense, wood and honey, and support to other economicactivities such as fodder for livestock and soil conservation for crop farming. However, the annually cashincome generated by households from the Boswellia woodland is only 1089.55 ETB, which is 18.32 fold lessthan that of the income from the agriculture. The low cash flow is shown to be due to policy restrictions onthe engagement of the local people in producing and marketing frankincense, a principal product from thewoodland. Such low cash contribution by the woodland motivated the local people to continuously clear andconvert the woodland in to agricultural land. In lined with this, the structure of some of the important speciesin the woodland showed a hump shaped curve distribution, suggesting regeneration is severely lacking andthe population is under serious threat in the long term. Therefore, the main conclusion of this study is thatthe Boswellia woodland, although worthy of sustainable management and utilization even on the basis of economic criteria, is continuing to suffer conversion to other land uses which offer benefits in the short termand in which farmers have more confidence in terms of economic benefits and ownership rights of the land.Therefore, to maximize the actual value of the Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, policies and institutionsthat govern access to and use of forest resources and their management need to be revised in such a waythat the locals will have the legal right and the confidence to own or co-own the forest resources in their vicinity, and will continue to manage and utilize it.

*E-mail: [email protected] STRACT: Ag ricul ture is the back bone of our coun try and econ omy, which ac counts for al most 30 per cent of GDP and em ploys 70 per cent of the pop ulation. Over the last de cade, tech nical meth ods have beende veloped to uti lize mod ern elec tron ics to re spond to field vari abil ity. Such meth ods are known as spa tiallyvari able crop pro duc tion, geo graphic po si tion ing sys tem (GPS)-based ag ricul ture, site-spe cific andpre ci sion farm ing (pre ci sion ag ricul ture). The term spa tially vari able crop pro duc tion seems to be moreac cu rate and de scrip tive than the term pre cision ag ricul ture. The con cept of Pre cision Ag ricul ture avails there cent de velop ments in sen sors, green-house and pro tected ag ricul ture struc tures. This tech nology can bemean ing fully de ployed for hot and ex tremely dry re gions where wa ter is scarce, soil is salty, tem per a ture ishigh and rain fall is low. It is also cer tain that even in de vel op ing coun tries, avail abil ity of la bour for ag ricul tural ac tiv ities is go ing to be in short sup ply in fu ture.

ABSTRACT: Effi cient man age ment of de plet ing wa ter re sources is im por tant in or der to en hance croppro duc tivity and to at tain high wa ter use ef ficiency. The study aimed at iden tifying ir riga tion man age mentprac tices, which could re sult in wa ter sav ings through de liber ate un der ir riga tion. Field ex per iments werecon ducted at Hill Cam pus, Ranichauri, Tehri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, In dia on po tato crop (KufriChandramukhi) over a pe riod of two years dur ing the win ter sea sons of 2008-09 and 2009-10. The crop wasplanted in first week of No vem ber and har vested in the last week of March span ning ap prox imately 150days. Three ir riga tion treat ments were main tained based on the max imum al lowable de ple tion (MAD) of avail able soil wa ter. The treat ments were 20% (T 1), 40% (T 2) and 60% (T 3) max imum al lowable de ple tion of avail able soil wa ter. No soil wa ter stress was main tained at the ini tial stages of the crop de vel op ment so asto al low the plants at tain a healthy growth. Soil mois ture con tent was mea sured by gravimetric methodpe riod ically in 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil pro files. Soil mois ture showed a cy clic tem po ral vari a tion at allthree se lected soil depths. The mag nitude of this vari a tion was higher in 0-15 cm soil pro file and de creasedin 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil pro files in that or der. This trend was ob served at all sched ules of ir ri ga tion. Fieldex per iments re vealed that ir riga tion sched ule with 40% max imum al lowable de ple tion of avail able soil wa ter

gave the max i mum wa ter use ef ficiency for po tato crop. For sched ul ing of ir ri ga tion of po tato crop, 0-30 cmsoil pro file should be con sid ered as most of the re quired wa ter to be ex tracted from this layer by the plant.Pub lished in : HortFlora Re search Spec trum, Vol. 2(4) : 311-318 (2013)
