Variability and association studies in cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)

Seventy one cinnamon accessions studed for variability and association revealed high coefficient of variation for dry and fresh bark yield, bark oleoresin, leaf oil, bark oil, leaf size index and percentage recovery of bark. Association analysis revealed significant correlation of fresh weight of bark and leaf oil with dry hark yield. Bark oil was negatively associated with leaf oil. &nbsp

Navashree and Nithyashree - two new high yielding and high quality cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum Bercht & Presl.) selections

Nine elite cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) lines were evaluated for their yield and quality during 1990-95 at the Experimental Farm of Indian Institute of Spices Research at Peruvannamuzhi (Kerala State, India). Two lines, namely, SL 63 and In 189 yielding 55.6 kg and 54.2 kg dry barklha per year, respectively, were selected based on their regeneration capacity, yield and quality. These two lines named N avashree and Nithyashree also had higher bark and leaf oil and oleoresin contents and have been recommended for cultivation in all cinnamon growing areas in India. &nbsp

Empowerment through Traditional Knowledge System for Agricultural sustainability

158-161Developing agricultural sustainability by harnessing Indigenous Knowledge often referred to as Traditional Knowledge. Innovations and practices derived out of success stories from rural locale provided zeal to research scholars to probe into these systems of empowerment. Educational initiatives ranging from classroom culture to farmer centered knowledge require a thorough research investigation and ultimately need to be introduced in higher education. Rich cultural heritage and knowledge dimensions, which have natural tendency to diminish with spatio-temporal changes need to be protected and is required to be brought back either in its native form or slightly modified form. Either of these may be, advantageous for agricultural productivity. Indigenous knowledge, which is centered on beliefs, practices and traditional technologies, is required to be documented through systematic planned approach by educational initiatives. As a prelude to educational initiatives, documenting Indigenous Knowledge, through established protocols may be the primary requirement. This includes community, individual and public domain knowledge systems, so that the existing data structures and efforts of organizations working to document this knowledge system are strengthened
