(,uh. Jiuf;fz;q) Shri Gagandeep Singh Bedi, IAS Agricultural Production Commissioner & Principal Secretary Government of Tamil Nadu Secretariat, Agricultural Department, Chennai - 600 009 PREFACE The Indian agriculture has taken a paradigm shift from conventional farming to precision agriculture with an intend to overcome a bundle of constraints such as shrinking arable lands, frequent droughts, declining organic matter, multi-nutrient deficiencies besides exodus of people from farming. Despite the fact that the country faces extreme weather conditions, the State of Tamil Nadu retained its glory by getting the Krishi Karman Award 2019 for the fifth time in a row for continued enhancement of food grain and oilseed production. The data vividly indicate the successful accomplishments of both scientists of TNAU and officials in the Department of Agriculture in the past several years. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, is playing a pivotal role in design and development of crop varieties, technologies and farm implements to suit the prevailing situations and adapt to the climate change scenarios. In this context, there was an urgent need for standard operational protocols and technology package of practices to fit various agro-climatic zones of the state of Tamil Nadu. In this context, the TNAU under the dynamic leadership of the Vice Chancellor, Director of Research and other technical directors, the “Crop Production Guide (CPG) – Agriculture 2020” was revised, updated and put together as a technology capsule prescribed for adoption by the Department of Agriculture and in turn to the farmers of the State. While doing the revision, the Director of Agriculture and entire team of Department officials ensured that the field level problems are addressed. The CPG - Agriculture 2020 carries recommended crops and varieties, seed to seed crop management technologies, seed invigoration techniques, soil-test crop response based fertilizer prescription, drip fertigation, integrated weed management practices, technology capsule for pests and diseases management, labour saving farm machineries and post-harvest management practices. I take this opportunity to thank and the Vice Chancellor, Director of Agriculture, Director of Research, other Technical Directors and Department officials for their assiduous efforts to orchestrate the document that serve as the base for the agricultural growth and development in the State of Tamil Nadu. (Gagandeep Singh Bedi) Dr. N. Kumar, Ph.D., Vice Chancellor Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore 641 003 PREFACE The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, is one of the best State Agricultural Universities in the country, evolving several crop varieties, technologies and farm implements to promote productivity and profitability of farms while ensuring environmental safety and rural livelihood. The TNAU has a well articulated and structured research framework to develop varieties and technologies to enable adoption by the farmers of the State. The Research Council of TNAU identifies the field problems that are developed as research projects, monitored and evaluated during the annual crop scientists meets and the research outcomes are presented to the State level Scientific Workers Conference to take the final decision on the varieties or technologies to be recommended for adoption. Such a meticulous planning and execution help us in assembling basket of varieties and technologies that are packaged as the Crop Production Guide. The TNAU has taken efforts to revise and update the “Crop Production Guide (CPG) – Agriculture 2020” involving the Directors and Deans in the university besides Department of Agriculture and Department officials. In the past one year, there was a close coordination between the Department and University in undertaking joint efforts to resolve the unresolved field problems. Such network helped us to improve the CPG as a technology package suitable for the farmers of the Tamil Nadu State. The CPG carries recommended crop varieties, improved management technologies, precision farming practices, technology capsule for the management of pests and diseases besides post-harvest management practices. I take this opportunity to thank the Agricultural Production Commissioner & Principal Secretary to the Government, Director of Agriculture, Director of Research, other Technical Directors, Deans and Department officials for their contribution towards the publication of the CPG - Agriculture 2020.

The dry evergreen forest of Kondapalli (Andhra Pradesh state, India) is declared as a forest reserve, but, despite of this, it is subjected to degradation resulting in loss of biodiversity. Thus, the current study was carried out to investigate the tree diversity of Kondapalli forest. A total of 566 ±16 trees (≥10 cm) representing 46±8 species from 40 genera and 21 families were recorded from the 0.36 ha area of Kondapalli forest. Mimosaceae was the most species rich family, while Rutaceae was the most abundant family. Atalantia monophylla was most frequent and abundant species and, with respect to basal area, Melia azedarach and Syzygium cumini were the dominant taxa. The recorded stem density was 1572 stems ha-1 and the mean forest basal area was 47.17 m2 ha-1. The results of cluster analysis revealed that Atalantia monophylla, characterised by a high ecologi- cal amplitude, had a wide distribution and was associated with species forming different communities. The study showed that Kondapalli forest is characterised by a fairly high species richness, which provides the baseline data on the floristic structure and diversity of this forest for better management and conservation.

Balachandran and K. Rajendiran Kanchi Mamuniver Centre for Post-Graduate Studies, Lawspet, Puducherry – 605008 *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT The botanical survey was carried out in Hillocks, Reserve Forest, Sacred Groves and Unclassified Vegetations of Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest from three Coromandel Coastal districts of Tamilnadu viz. Chengalpet, Cuddalore, Villupuram and Union Territory of Pondicherry. This article deals with 5 endemic and evergreen arborous species such as Derris ovalifolia, Gardenia latifolia, Manilkara roxburghiana, Pterospermum xylocarpum and Tricalysia sphaerocarpa and their disjunct nature of distribution across the state by crosscutting district wise with respect to soil, climate and elevation. Their population status and the conservation measures are also discussed. Keywords: Disjunct Distribution, Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest, Coromandel Coast, Tamilnadu, Ecology INTRODUCTION Linnaeus was one of the first, to notice the relationship in the flora of the two continents during 1750. In the 18th century, Thunberg and Castialioni independently drew attention to the baffling pattern of certain plants that were common to East Asia and Eastern USA. However, Van Steens (1934) stated that no species is homogeneously distributed throughout the area where it occupies. According to Carlquist (1967) the two disjunctive areas are climatically and ecologically analogous. Axelrod (1970), Thorne (1973) and Smith (1973) studied disjunctions between tropical countries prior to mid tertiary period of plants between tropical Africa, America and Asia.
