The present field experiment entitled ‘Nutrient management and carbon sequestration potential of the rubber-based intercropping system in Western Ghat region of Karnataka’ was conducted at farmers’ field of Harishi village of Soraba taluka of Shivmogga District, Karnataka, India during 2017 to 2019. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Two practices applied on rubber was the application of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) as an organic practice and NPK as inorganic practice and nine treatments consisting of different organic manures biofertilizers and NPK as inorganic fertilizer was applied on Bird’s Eye Chilli (BEC) grown as an intercrop. The results showed that application of NPK on rubber resulted in a maximum mean annual increment in basal diameter (0.56 cm) and crown diameter (0.28 m) in one-year-old rubber and height (0.77 m), basal diameter (0.62 m) crown diameter (0.21 m) in two-year-old rubber. Among nine treatment of BEC, application of NPK resulted in higher growth parameters of rubber at both age levels. Interactions were non-significant on all growth parameters. Age and different manures also influenced the carbon sequestration potential of the system. Hence the application of NPK may be recommended for cultivation of rubber.

A field experiment was carried out at Regional Coconut Research Station, Bhatye (DBSKKV, Dapoli), Maharashtra (India) during 2013-2018 to study the productivity and carbon sequestration potential as influenced by integrated nutrient management (INM) practices in coconut based cropping system. INM practices viz., T1- 75 per cent of RDF+25 per cent of N through organic recycling with vermicompost, T2- 50 per cent of RDF+50 per cent of N through organic recycling with vermicompost + vermiwash application + bio-fertilizer application + in situ green manuring (cowpea), T3- fully organic: 100 per cent N through organic recycling with vermicompost + vermiwash application + bio-fertilizer application + in situ green manuring (cowpea) and green leaf manuring + composted coir pith, husk incorporation and mulching with coconut leaves were imposed in coconut based cropping system involving nutmeg, cinnamon, banana and pineapple. For comparison, T4- control: monocrop of coconut with recommended NPK and organic manure was maintained. Four treatments were laid out in a block of 0.45 ha area each. Among the different INM practices, treatment T1 sequestered the highest amount of above ground (coconut + nutmeg) carbon stock (31.1 t ha-1) followed by T2 (30.3 t ha-1) and T3 (27.3 t ha-1). In contrast, the treatment T4 - coconut monocrop alone had sequestered 25.6 t ha-1. The below-ground soil carbon stock in the rhizosphere of different crops was the highest in the nutrient management under T3 followed by T2 and T1, whereas, it was the lowest in coconut monocrop. The productivity of the system was higher in the intercropping garden. The coconut nut yield (5-year average) was higher yield under T1 (147.2 nuts palm-1 year-1), followed by T2 (138.4 nuts palm-1 year-1) and T3 (123.6 nuts palm-1 year-1), whereas, monocrop had recorded a significantly lower number of nuts (97.2 nuts palm-1 year-1).

Edaphic Properties

India is voluntarily committed towards reducing carbon emission. Rubber plantation could be an important means for carbon sequestration at state and national level. Tripura holds second position as rubber grower state in India, spreading over 72273 hectare areas. Present study designed to estimate the carbon storage potential, sequestration rate and some selected edaphic properties under four different aged rubber plantations viz. HB05, HB10, HB15 and HB20, following stratified random sampling methodology. Total, 40; 100×10 m transects were laid for estimation of biomass carbon stock and transects were further subdivided in to five equal quadrates 20×10 m sized for sampling soil. The stand structural variables like mean girth size, height, basal area, tree carbon and overall carbon stock significantly varied among the different aged rubber plantations. The periodic annual increment in terms of carbon sequestration was estimated at the rate of 2.97, 3.30, 3.14 and 2.82 (Mg C ha-1 yr-1). The result indicated that total carbon stock in rubber plantation was 202.48 Mg ha-1, out of which tree carbon shared 41.85 and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) 160.71 Mg ha-1 respectively. SOC did not show any significant variation along the plantation ages. The study suggested that the potentiality of carbon sequestration of rubber plantation in Tripura has immense scope for future carbon credit and incentives.

Acacia Catechu

The carbon sequestration potential of an unmanaged and previously unstudied Acacia catechu in the Mukundara National Park Rajasthan, by estimating the total aboveground biomass contained in the forest. It turned into observed that the biomass, above ground comprising of stems, branches, and foliage, holds a total of 200 tons per hectare, foremost to a valued 100 tons of carbon being deposited per hectare aboveground. Acacia species consequently has the potential to play a significant function within the mitigation of climate change. The relation among the biomass, M, of each component (stems, branches, and foliage) and the diameter d, of the plant become also studied, by means of fitting allometric equations of the form M = αdβ. It was observed that all components fit this power law relation very well (R2 > 0.7), chiefly the stems (R2 > 0.8) and branches (R2 > 0.9) for which the relation is found to be almost linear.
