1. High Yielding<br />
Varieties<br />
2. Diversified<br />
Agriculture<br />
3. On-Farm Cultivation<br />
Restrict rights <strong>of</strong> the people<br />
Loss in soil moisture.<br />
Loss in soil fertility (Nitrogen, Carbon,<br />
etc.).<br />
Soil and water pollution due to use <strong>of</strong><br />
pesticides.<br />
More demand <strong>of</strong> water for irrigation and<br />
competing demands on surviving/existing<br />
sources which are used for drinking.<br />
Provide alternative to meet the needs <strong>of</strong><br />
the people<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
High nutritional value traditional crops<br />
should not be totally replaced by high<br />
yielding varieties.<br />
Rotation <strong>of</strong> crops and bringing the<br />
cultivated land under leguminous crops<br />
(pea, lentil etc.) will maintain soil fertility.<br />
Use <strong>of</strong> bio-compost, organic mulch<br />
(Green manure) and vermi-compost will<br />
Increase/decrease in number<br />
<strong>of</strong> Oak seedlings/sapling<br />
Increase/decrease in forest<br />
crown cover/ canopy closure<br />
Increase/decrease in soil<br />
moisture<br />
Increase/decrease in forest<br />
floor vegetation and litter<br />
layer thickness<br />
Reduction/increase in<br />
occurrence <strong>of</strong> fire incidences<br />
Increase/decrease in forest<br />
wealth (resin, NTFPs, leaf<br />
litter layer, fodder etc.)<br />
Increase/ decrease in the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> non- chemical applications<br />
e.g.,bio-pesticides,<br />
mechanical, cultural<br />
activities.<br />
All receive benefits<br />
Damage to crops (resistance<br />
against diseases, frost,<br />
drought etc.)<br />
Production <strong>of</strong> grain, straw and<br />
other plant products<br />
Quality <strong>of</strong> production (taste,<br />
odour, colour, perishability<br />
etc.)
