Abstract Triadica sebifera is a valuable multipurpose agroforestry species in the central Himalayan region and across Asia, and is also a popular ornamental tree for its colourful autumn leaves. The fruit of T. sebifera contains two types of fat. The white, fleshy outer seedcoat (sarcotesta) produces a fat known as Chinese vegetable tallow, while the cotyledons of the seed (kernel) yield a drying oil called stillingia oil. These oils are used as a substitute for cocoa butter in the food industry, to make paints, varnishes, soaps and candles, and to waterproof umbrellas. The leaves contain a dye, used in Asia to dye silk black. As an agroforestry species, Triadica sebifera is a good soil binder and contributes to nutrient recycling. It is planted in tea plantations as a shade tree and is also a minor timber tree. Its wood is sometimes used to make various implements, toys, furniture and Chinese printing blocks. The root, bark and leaves are used in traditional medicine in China (PROSEA, 2018; PROTA, 2018).

Pongamia glabra seed oil (PGSO) – a non-edible, non-drying oil; a sustainable resource has found application as alkyds, epoxies and polyesteramides in paints and coatings. Generally, PGSO based polymeric coatings are obtained by curing at elevated temperature. Efforts have been made to cure PGSO at room temperature by simple route modification. Self-cured Pongamia glabra oil based on polyesteramide (APGPEA) resin was synthesized by the reaction between Pongamia glabra oil modified fatty amide diol (HEPGA) with polystyrene co-maleic anhydride (SMA). After complete synthesis of APGPEA, phthalic anhydride modified polyesteramide (APGPEAPh) was synthesized in situ by a minor addition of phthalic anhydride (PA) to APGPEA in order to improve the performance of the latter. The effect of the SMA and PA introduction on properties of PGPEAPh film was also investigated. The physico-chemical characteristics of both resins were obtained by standard laboratory methods. The structural elucidation of these resins was carried out by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral techniques. The thermal behavior was studied by TGA. Curing was studied by DSC and FT-IR techniques. It was observed that APGPEA and APGPEAPh resins significantly improve the drying property in contrast to the previously reported polyesteramides cured at high temperature. Physico-mechanical and chemical/corrosion resistance tests of APGPEAPh coatings showed that the presence of phthalic anhydride in APGPEA enhanced the physico-mechanical and corrosion resistance considerably. The APGPEAPh resin appears to be sustainable aspirant biomaterials for anticorrosive surface coatings which may substitute polymers obtained from petroleum, potentially scarce resource.

Crop coefficient (Kc) is one of the most significant parameters for crop water demand prediction and irrigation scheduling. However, there is a lack of knowledge about water vapor and Kc in tea plantation ecosystems. This study explored and determined the actual evapotranspiration (ETc) and Kc of two cultivars of tea (Camellia sinensis), clone variety Baiye1 (BY1) and Longjing43 (LJ43), based on lysimeter data. An estimation was made for both for ETc and adjusted ETc, and the corresponding Kc and adjusted Kc. The results showed that the adjusted ETc and Kc values revealed a minor fluctuation when compared to the ETc and Kc values during the experimental period, which indicated that the adjusted ETc and Kc values were more precise and practical to field conditions. The average adjusted Kc values were 0.71 (range of 0.43–1.02) for BY1 and 0.84 (range of 0.48–1.22) for LJ43. Additionally, heavy pruning can decrease ETc and Kc values, possibly due to the lower level of LAI after pruning. Moreover, it is clearly manifested that BY1 consistently had lower ETc and Kc values than those of LJ43 because of plant growth status differences between BY1 and LJ43. Overall, our study proposed a reliable reference of Kc in tea plantation, and illuminated the effects of pruning and plant growth differences on Kc, which could provide a strong basis for precise irrigation in tea plantations in a subtropical climate.

Abstract Triadica sebifera is a tree that behaves as an aggressive weed and forms monospecific stands with the potential to displace native plant species altering the composition, structure and functioning of invaded ecosystems. It is also able to alter nutrient cycles, fire regimes and successional patterns of invaded sites. Triadica sebifera is a prolific seed producer adapted to grow in a wide range of habitats. Its tolerance to drought, flooding and a degree of salinity, effective dispersal of seeds by avian vectors and water and a high germination rate contribute to the invasiveness of this species. Currently, this species is listed as invasive in the United States, India and Australia, but the range of introduction and naturalization of this species is very extensive across tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of the world.
