Quiz Chapt. 10-11
1. Quambalaria pitereka is the fungus responsible for powdery lesions found in the feeds of many species of eucalyptus, which can further cause tip dieback, leaf death as well as tree death. The disease rating was found to be higher with reduced rainfall and vice-versa. Gum spotted from elevate
d precipitation locations helped the plan to protect from serious diseases.
2. Meliaceae is an exotic tree whose planting has been reported to reduce the harm caused by Hypsipila species at the planting location. This also suggested that in order to prevent the harm caused by Hypsipila robusta, mahogany plant species will be useless because the plague is reported to damage the plant species regardless of their exotic nature.
3. Edaphic, pathological, entomological, forestry and tree era are some of the factors that have been found to be effected. However, the soil born fungus, Fusarium solani, have been reported to be main culprit. Soil pH as well as other factors such as proportions of silt, clay and sand also affects Sissoo’s mortality rate. Significant improvement in Sissoo’s proportions as well as plant density have been observed.
4. In response to the cold and bright sunshine characteristics of day, photoblinging the plants was determined. The steel shade provided to the rows of seedlings was enough to mimic the shade beams casted from 10-10:30 a.m. in the morning. Combining all the variable and to avoid the use of shade cloths, nurseries may be required to place the seedlings in the location of elevated sunlight and low temperatures.

1. Photocycle capacity of plants increased with the increase in the concentration of leaf oil through the use of micro-propagation technology and all this occurred without any increase in the leaf area. Further, this experiments suggests the use of ramets for plantation also known as using micro-propagation in blue sheaf development. This technology also allowed to increase the oil production through better photosynthesis of tree leaves and even without reducing any leaf region.
2. The graphs obtained reflected that the survival rate of tree will decrease with the increase in its diameter as a result of increased susceptibility to insects. Species that have a faster growth rate are attacked by the insects faster than the slow growing species of plants. Therefore, the survival rates of rapidly growing species reduces significantly after infection from insects and increased portions with injuries.
3. E. oreades followed by E. smithii have been reported to produce higher biomass as well as higher yields of pulpwood among both Helvetia and Shafton. Except E. nitens, no other species have been reported to show higher yields. However, E. nitens have been reported to reflected the highest yield rate even greater than the above two species in Helvetia. In order to receive higher production, the 2 prior mentioned species can be improved separately. Likewise, E. smithii and E. oreades upon hybridization have the ability to provide a better alternative for the breeding programs of the owner of plantation in order to receive higher production of pulpwood and biomass compared to their existing mother species.
4. Findings from this experiment reflected that species such as E. Brookerana. Brookerana, E. cordata, E. johnstonii, E. urnigera and E. rubida have higher hybridizing capabilities with E. nitens compared to E. barberi. E. morrisbyi and E. nitens upon hybridization have been reported to produce more seedlings. When pollination was open, E. nitens failed while it succeeded when it was pollinated carefully. The survival rate of hybridized seedling obtained was very less or even 0 when they were exposed to the native forest species. Therefore, open pollination cannot performed because of low survival rate and more study would be required in order to receive successful and compatible species from hybridization.

1. Levels of nitrogen and phosphorus was calculated in the foliage of cypress trees that were planted 3 years ago. Further, from the soil sample collected from every plot, number of fungal spores as well as hyphal length of arbuscular mychorriza was calculated. Dehydrogenase activity, enzyme that is present in soil, was also calculated. Group b reported a significantly increased foliar nitrogen as well as phosphorus and dehydrogenase activity. This reflected that mychorrizae helped the plants with nutrient uptake. Height of plants was significantly greater in the first year compared to the average of 3 years. French lavender blend and inoculated plantings may increase the nutrient removal from soil therefore a long-term advantage in height growth is expected.
2. From the perspectives of wood production as well as promotion of biodiversity, mixed specie plantation was considered to be useful. Out of the three engaged Panama-born tree species for precious timber production, T.rosea presented to have highest seedling production, height, survival rate as well as largest leaf area consumption by insects. T.rosea monoculture plantations will not be effected if planted in a blended plantation without the use of insecticides and it is also the most suitable business specie.
3. The productivity of Pinus patula trees, cultivated in Swaziland, Africa     with a 15-18 year rotation for pulpwood was considered. Considering the plot documents, wood quantity developed in each round on big plots was determined over the consecutive rotation of three years. Except a significant rise observed in form 1, other location did not reflect any distinction. Extraction of nutrients from soil through the roots may have been enhanced due to plantation.
4. After the clear-felling of first rotational planting, harvest residues were burnt. Lengthy windrows were created with remaining woods and then it was burnt completely. 2nd rotation site location was seeded and growth from the seedlings reflected smaller plant growth even after greater cumulative rainfall. Mobilization and loss of nutrient was taken care of by burning and ploughing....
