Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
: The study of various periodic behaviours of plant species or the phenology has great significance because it not only provides knowledge about the plant growth pattern but also provides the inferences on the effect of environment and selective pressure on flowering and fruiting behaviour. In this paper an attempt has been made to record such data regarding periods of leaf fall, leaf flushing, flowering, fruiting and all. This was done for a period of three years for forty species of course which were some how having medicinal properties and it was carried out in the district of Goalpara, Assam. In the study the leaf fall peak period was found in last part of January, leaf flushing peak period in the month of march where as flowering and fruiting activity peak period was found during the month of March—April and May—June respectively. So, this type of study will be helpful to give inferences in future whether the of climate change are giving pressure on the periodic behaviour of plant species. Changed phenological behaviour of plant species indicates the losing of plant diversity of the district in a critical level.. Keywords: Phenology, leaf fall, leaf flush, flowering, fruiting
