- Unfolding the mystery of shisham mortality it was found that precaution should be taken to avoid root damage at shisham plantation sites. Mixed plantations should be encouraged with species like neem, jamun, Pongamia pinnata, Albizia lebbek, Eucalyptus etc, Copper complexes of lignin and lignosulphonate were developed as wood preservative, mass multiplication technique of Trichogramma species standardised and their efficacy against key pests of teak forests tested. Integrated pest management of Cedrus deodara developed. Highly insect resistant teak clone pt-45 identified against Eutectona machaeralis (Skeletonizer). Twelve species of VAM fungi belonging to three genera occurring in rhizosphere of 25 species of bamboo identified for field application.

The biocontrol formulation was developed with T.pseudokoningii on an abudantly available agriculture waste sugarcane bagasse to control decay of stored bamboo and root diseases in nurseries. Vegetative propagation technology has been developed for mass multiplication of Grewia optiva, Dalbergia sissoo and Bamboos in FRI.

			Policy-oriented studies: A few studies (on Multilateral Agreements, WTO Agreements, environmental certifications, National environmental standards and their implications on trade and vice versa etc.) including country-specific case studies will be undertaken with the help of concerned ministries and institutions.
			Workshops, seminars and training: Policy-oriented studies will be presented and discussed in a number of workshops/seminars on trade and environment. A training package on trade and environment could also be developed.
			Dissemination of information: This will be done through publications and dissemination of the policy studies and workshop reports. A database to incorporate more explicitly environmental regulations that may have an impact on trade will be developed and disseminated. Stress will also be given to provide financial assistance for seminars, symposia and workshops to achieve the stated objectives of the scheme
			After the completion of the scheme, it is expected that the target groups will be better equipped and well informed to have discussions/negotiations in various agreements on environment as well as on trade. The interface between trade and environment would be better understood and would help in taking informed decisions faster implementation of policies and programmes. Moreover, the trade and environment issues would be better institutionalized then they are today
			An Inter-Ministerial Consultative Group to deliberate upon and finalize India’s position on Trade & Environmental issues in the International Fora.
