This paper concept was to observe the knowledge about some wild edible fruit species which are consumed by Himalayan langur (Presbytis entellus) and its regeneration in the Nainital district of Kumaun Himalaya. The wild edible fruit species are not only as a source of supplemental food, had nutrionally balanced diet, medicines, fodder for cattle and fuel, but also for income generating potential of rural people in this region.. The diet of the Himalayan langur (Presbytis entellus) was studied for duration of one year. Wild edible fruits were harvested from their natural habitats by local people and sold into the local market for livelihood generation. The regeneration of maximum wild edible tree species is affected and the fruits become insufficient for the langurs diet. Due to this reason, the troupes of Himalayan langurs move towards villages of forest margins and destroy agricultural crops. A total 15 wild edible fruit species were recorded, out of which Quercus spp. Aesculus indica, Careya arborea, Myrica esculenta, Rubus ellipticus etc. were consumed by Himalayan langurs are under threats to regenerate.

Fruits contribute significantly to the food security of the society especially in terms of vitamins and micronutrients. Numerous wild edible fruits from various families distributed in Poondi, Velliangiri hills,Coimbatore were assessed the Malasar tribal people consume these fruits as a natural source of food supplement. The five wild edible fruits viz., Zizipus jujuba Mill. Z.oenoplia Mill. (Rhamnaceae), Limonia acidissimia L. (Rutaceae), Phyllanthus emblica L. (Euphorbiaceae) and Ficus racemosa L. (Moraceae) were assessed for their mineral and phytochemical contents. In which the underutilized fruits possesses high nutritional and medicinal properties for the ethanolic extracts. The macro and micro elements and their constituents explored that Fe was abundant in all the edible fruit species. while Z.jujuba was observed to contain high Fe content than those of others. Qualitative phytochemical screening also revealed the presence of phenolics, alkaloids, flavanoids and terpenoids. In quantitative phytochemical estimations also phenolic and tannin concentration was found to be high in F. racemosa while L.acidissimia fruit depicted maximum total flavonoid content. The nutritional and phytochemical composition of fruits indicates that, theseneglected wild edible fruits can be a valuable source of nutrients under famine conditions and high levels of some vitamins can be used to prevent diseases.

AbstractIn this paper, a long-term equilibrium model of a local market is developed. Subject to minor qualifications, the model is arbitrage-free. The variables modelled are the prices of risk-free zero-coupon bonds – both index-linked and conventional – and of equities, as well as the inflation rate. The model is developed in discrete (nominally annual) time, but allowance is made for processes in continuous time subject to continuous rebalancing. It is based on a model of the market portfolio comprising all the above-mentioned asset categories. The risk-free asset is taken to be the one-year index-linked bond. It is assumed that, conditionally upon information at the beginning of a year, market participants have homogeneous expectations with regard to the forthcoming year and make their decisions in mean-variance space. For the purposes of illustration, a descriptive version of the model is developed with reference to UK data. The parameters produced by that process may be used to inform the determination of those required for the use of the model as a predictive model. Illustrative results of simulations of the model are given.

Cherry Trees

Sour cherry is a light demanding fruit species. As most of the crop is developing from buds on one year old shoots and 2-yearold wood, the formation of bare wood can be seen apparently in a badly maintained canopy. The formation of „whip shoots” indicates the degree of bare wood. Unfortunately in many gardens and commercial orchards sour cherry trees resemble willow trees. Owners often decide to grub old orchards, although the useful cropping lifespan of the trees planted in a correct spacing can be 20-30 years on a move vigorous rootstock. Therefore renewal pruning can contribute to the full renewal of the orchard, but the length of its effect is depending on the growth characteristics and renewal capabilities of the cultivar. The growth characteristics of the cultivars are different. The regeneration capabilities of different aged wood are also different. These differences emphasize the need for cultivar specifi c pruning. Knowing the reactions to renewal pruning, we can ensure regular high crops with excellent quality by applying cultivar specifi c rotation pruning.

Ziziphus spina found in the tropical regions of the world is a small tree capable of resisting heat and drought. The edible portion of the fruit is widely preserved as feed for human and animal especially in drought and famine ravaged nations of the world. The edible fruit of Z. spina were procured from a local market in Gusau, Zanfara State North-Western Nigeria in October 2019. They were prepared for proximate and mineral analyses using standard analytical methods. The results showed the percentage (%) moisture, ash, crude lipid, crude protein, crude fibre and total carbohydrate contentas3.13, 15.22, 3.11, 11.12, 6.45 and 64.10 respectively while the calorific values was reported to be 328.87kcal/100g.The elemental analyses revealed that potassium and copper were the most and least abundant element with concentrations of 256.12 and 2.37 mg/100 g dry weight respectively. The findings from this study reveal that Z.spina fruit contains important mineral elements that would possibly improve on the proper metabolic activity and therefore could improve on the health standard if properly utilized.

Abstract Most tropical passerines feed on insects, fruit, or a combination of the two. The sugary pulps of fruit have lower amounts of protein than insects. We used stable-nitrogen isotope analysis (δ15N) of blood from two tropical rainforest birds that regularly feed on fruit—Red-throated Ant-Tanager (Habia fuscicauda) and Ochre-bellied Flycatcher (Mionectes oleagineus)—to quantify the relative amounts of assimilated protein from animal and plant sources. Because fruit and insect abundances vary seasonally in the tropics, the study was conducted during one year in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico. The study site has one major fruiting peak between April and July and a secondary peak between September and October. Some insects are more abundant from May to August. Red-throated Ant-Tanagers and Ochre-bellied Flycatchers rely heavily on insect protein when fruit is scarce, and then steadily increase their input of fruit protein as fruit abundance increases. Red-throated Ant-Tanagers rely almost entirely on fruit protein during the major fruiting peak, whereas Ochre-bellied Flycatchers have the largest input of fruit protein during the secondary fruit peak. Incubation in both species occurs from June to August, and most incubating individuals rely on a mixture of insects and fruit. In both species, examination of fecal contents showed the ingestion of the largest number of fruit species during the major fruiting peak.
