About 52 ha was enumerated in Northern, Olavakode, Central, Highrange and Southern zones of the State. Among the three species, T. paniculata occupied about 77% of the study area with an increasing trend in tree density from Notrhtern to Southern zones. On the other hand, T. elliptica occupied 46% and found to have a decreasing trend in tree density. Distribution of T. travancorensis was only 2% of the study area, which was recorded in Olavakode, Central and Highrange zones. Study revealed that T. paniculata is dominant among the three species. However, regeneration of T. paniculata was poor compared to T. elliptica. Very poor regeneration was reported for T. travancorensis. The study indicates necessity to conserve the species due to their economical and ecological importance.<#LINE#>Pascal J.P.

It is therefore important to look at the relationship significant between the area of land managed, management, land management, physical condition managed lands and conversion of land with production / net income of farmers on the pattern of plantation played by each subject of the estate, it is also important to design such as whether the relationship between plantation integrative subject.Research done in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study is a combination of surveys and case studies as well as primary and secondary data analysis. Using Chi square test (chi square test) to see the relationship between variables, and to see the most influential variables used multiple logistic regression (Binary Logistic) with SPSS 17.0 for Windows. The results of this study found that the area of land ownership relationship (X1) with the income of farmers from several estates patterns found in value of 0.003, meaning that a significant relationship; land management relationship with the revenue that farmers receive each month, the value of 0.001 means significant relationship. ; Physical condition of land relations with the net proceeds received by farmers every month worth 0,064, meaning that no significant relationship. Land conversion time relationship with income received by farmers each month, the value is 0.072, meaning that the relationship is not significant. The most dominant factor influencing farmers\' production management factor is the management of land with a value of exp (β) 13 181. Aspects in the development of existing ones do not provide welfare to farmers participating because the relationship between the government, private and people are not synergistic and integrated in the management system of plantation development. Required an integrated development model between the subject plantation estates namely by providing adequate land area, the correct management of land management, the physical condition of land to be tilled people as farmers and plantation land conversion process between foster father that state enterprises and private companies.<#LINE#>Beckford George L.

The green revolution brought impressive gains in food grains production for ever growing population in the country, but due to their adverse effect on environment and soil. Long Term Fertilizer Experiment (LTFE) has established that complete dependence on these chemical based fertilizers will not be useful in the future. Combination of inorganic fertilizers, green manures and biofertilizers can only retain the production of crop, preserve fitness and biodiversity of soil. In present study it is analysed that blue green algae is promoting the growth of tomato plants in soil. This study shows a positive influence of blue green algae as biofertilizer on various growth parameters taken during the experiment performed.<#LINE#>Cameron K.C. and Haynes R.J.
