The commercial production of Eri silk is mostly confined to the Northeast India and provide livelihood to poor farmers. The soils of Castor growing areas are highly rich in microbial diversity. Measuring soil respiration, soil dehydrogenase and phosphatase activity is an important aspect to estimate soil biological properties as it acts as a biological indicator towards soil fertility. Eight soil samples were collected from two plots of castor cultivated land of farm no. 1, Central Silk Board, Lahdoigarh, Jorhat, Assam. The average pH of the soil sample was slightly acidic (pH 6.5) and soil biological property of the sample was analyzed by CO evolution, soil dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase activity. The soil respiration activity was found more in the samples of plot no 8 than in plot no. 10 for different time intervals during the summer season. Whereas, the higher soil dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase activity was found in plot no. 10 than the samples of plot no.8. Moreover, samples of both the plots showed better biological activities in the summer in comparison to the other seasons with a positive correlation to environmental parameters indicating that soil biological activities vary with seasons throughout the year. The analysis was carried out as a benchmark survey for selection of experimental plots for application of biofertilizer input and subsequent formulation of an INM package for sustainable castor cultivation in ericulture.<#LINE#>Gogoi D.

The fodder produced from arable land alone, cannot support a large livestock population. Tree fodder is valuable in the hills particularly during winter and summer months when very less availability of green fodder in both quantity and quality. Agroforestry can be a good step to check deforestation and erosion in the hills. It can reduce the dependence on the forest by meeting the requirement of forage, timber and fuel wood locally. Agroforestry will help in Himalayan region to endorse the socio-economic improvement of the people of hills in harmony with safeguarding of ecological balance.

Availability of molecular markers and linkage maps have made it possible to understand the genetic basis of complex traits through the marker-based mapping to locate the chromosomal regions or QTLs of interest. Linkage analysis based mapping, association mapping and nested association mapping (NAM) are most commonly used methods for understanding the genetic basis underlying quantitative variation which will help in improving traits such as yield, nutritional quality and resistance to abiotic and biotic stress by developing new insights and methodologies.<#LINE#>Semagn K., Bjørnstad A. and Xu Y.@The genetic dissectionof quantitative traits in crops@Electron.
