  • Environmental Adaptation of Forages in Lao PDR
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD REGIONAL MEETING OF THE FSP Environmental adaptation of forages in Lao PDR Phonepaseuth Phengsavanh1 and Viengsavanh Phimphachanhvongsod2 In Lao PDR, livestock production is almost totally a smallholder farming practice and is a vital component of livelihood security. Animals generally graze on native forages (grasses, shrubs, legumes, and tree leaves) that are available in forests and grasslands. However, native grass is abundant only during the wet season. Dry season feed shortages are common, resulting in severe animal feeding problems for farmers throughout the country. There are currently few, if any, alternative feed sources. For many years, some Hmong farmers, who live on the fertile highland soils in Luang Phabang and Xieng Khouang, have fed grazing animals Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) as a supplement. Some farmers in Xieng Khouang have recently started to use Ruzi grass (Brachiaria ruziziensis) for the same purpose. However, in general, very few farmers in Lao PDR plant forages. This does not mean that there is no demand. The severity of feed resource limitations in some provinces (especially Luang Phabang and Xieng Khouang) is creating a huge interest in planted forages among farmers. To meet this demand, the Department of Livestock and Fisheries, in collaboration with the Forages for Smallholders Project, established forage nurseries at five different agro-ecological sites in four provinces to evaluate forage adaptation for subsequent on- farm testing at Namsuang (Vientiane municipality), Houakhoth and Houaphai (Luang Phabang), Ban Km 32 (Oudomxay), and Khinak (Champassak). Site descriptions The soil pH (1:5 water) at these sites varied from very acid to neutral (Table 1).

GUNATILLEKE2 * IUCN - The World Conservation Union, Sri Lanka Country Ofice Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya. (Received: 26 October 2001 ;accepted: 06August 2002) Abstract: This study was carried out to document some ecological aspects of weeds in an irrigated rice field ecosystem in Bathalagoda, Sri Lanka. The study was conducted from November 1995 to August 1997 in two rice fields which differed in weed management practices. A total of 89 vascular plant species of rice-weeds belonging to 21 families, 31 genera of algae and three genera of macrofungi were recorded from the two rice fields surveyed.Among the dicotyledonousweeds recorded, one species (Elatine triandra Schkuhr.) is a new record for Sri Lanka. Of the weed flora recorded from the rice field ecosystem, 45 species were mesophytes, 41 species were hygrophytes, while three species were hydrophytes. The species composition of the weed flora was highest in the rice field bunds (82 species), while the rice field proper harboured 41 weed species, and 24 weed species occurredin the ditch habitat. In both rice fields, the temporal pattern of variation of weed species richness was similar. The weed species richness on the bunds differed according to the surface on which they occurred, and exhibited a clear spatial variation. The study also reflects the impacts of different weed management practices on the species diversity of weed flora in a rice field ecosystem.

As the human population and associated urban Botanical Diversity development increases in the Emirate, it is essential to ensure the national heritage related to plant Marina Tsaliki, Landscape Agency – Public Services Department – Ras Al Khaimah diversity is protected. In this policy paper, we present Chloe MacLaren, Rothamsted Research the results of an emirate-wide botanical survey that explores how the plant species, present across Ras Al Introduction Khaimah, vary according to the Emirate’s geography. Ras Al Khaimah encompasses various natural habitats, including In total, 320 plant species were documented in mountain ranges, hills, coastal dunes, mangroves, gravel plains, and the survey, 293 of which were identified. Some of desert. These landscapes can seem universally harsh in their aridity or the recorded species are either uniquely found in salinity. However, the variations in environmental conditions, such as the Emirate or are rare and endangered. Four main temperature, water availability, and soil type, that define the habitats vegetation types have been identified in the Emirate: allow for a great diversity of flora and fauna. The complete range of coastal and lowland vegetation, plains vegetation, species present in Ras Al Khaimah has yet to be fully cataloged and low mountain vegetation, and high mountain investigated. There is a particular lack of information on the diversity vegetation. Within each of these, there are several and distributions of plants.

  • Ischaemum Rugosum) Population of Indo-Gangetic Plain Region
    Indian Journal of Weed Science 49(4): 385–390, 2017 DOI: 10.5958/0974-8164.2017.00099.5 Germination ecology of wrinkle grass (Ischaemum rugosum) population of Indo-Gangetic plain region Navjyot Kaur*, Renu Sethi and Makhan S. Bhullar Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab 141 004 Received: 27 September 2017; Revised: 8 November 2017 ABSTRACT Wrinkle grass (Ischaemum rugosum Salisb.) is a highly competitive weed in rice production that can cause huge yield reductions. Information on germination ecology of this weed is essential for the development of effective integrated weed management systems. No information is available on germination ecology for populations of this weed from Indo-Gangetic plain region of India. This study was conducted to generate information on effects of major environmental factors, viz. light, temperature, burial depth, moisture, salinity and pH on germination/emergence of this weed. Seed germination was independent of light and more than 50% germination was recorded under a wide temperature range of 20/ 10 to 35/25 °C day/night (12/12 h). Maximum emergence was observed when seeds were placed on surface or buried up to 1 cm; but considerable emergence was also observed from deeper soil layers (up to 6 cm depth). Germination was above 75% at 160 mM but completely inhibited at 320 mM of NaCl. Germination was sensitive to moisture stress and was completely inhibited at water potential of -0.8 MPa. Seeds were able to germinate under wide pH range of 3-10. Key words: Burial depth, Germination, Ischaemum rugosum, Light, pH, Salinity, Temperature Weed infestations are the major biotic et al.

  • Report to the Government of Niue on Invasive Plant Species of Environmental Concern
    Report to the Government of Niue on Invasive Plant Species of Environmental Concern James C. Space and Tim Flynn U.S.D.A. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA 24 October 2000 Report to the Government of Niue on Invasive Plant Species of Environmental Concern James C. Space and Tim Flynn 1 The Government of Niue requested assistance from the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, to conduct a survey of invasive plant species of environmental concern, similar to surveys previously conducted in Micronesia and American Samoa. The survey was carried out from 15-19 May 2000. The objectives, as with previous surveys, were to: (1) identify plant species that are presently causing problems to natural and semi-natural ecosystems; (2) identify species that, even though they are not presently a major problem, could spread more widely or are known to be problem species elsewhere; (3) confirm the absence of species that are a problem elsewhere and, if introduced to Niue, could be a threat there; and (4) make appropriate recommendations. During our visit local experts2 showed us sites of known infestations. We also had available copies of botanical surveys conducted in the past (see Appendix 1, References). A visit of such short duration does not permit an exhaustive survey of the weed flora of the island. However, the intent was only to conduct an overall survey. Additional surveys of individual species or sensitive areas can and should be conducted as needed. This report summarizes our findings and makes some suggestions for further action.
