Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of different Rhizobium<br />

strains alone or in combination with phosphorus on soyabean. The parameters studied<br />

were nodule per plant, root and shoot length at 30, 60 and 90 days, beside these root /<br />

shoot fresh and dry weight, grain yield were also studied after harvesting. Surface<br />

sterilized seeds of soyabean were sown in earthen pots filled with sterilized soil. Level<br />

of phosphorus applied was 0, 40, 60 and 80 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 as single super phosphate at the<br />

time of sowing in the soil. Among the three strains K-10 performed well compared to<br />

other two Rhizobium strains i.e S-10 and L-10. Application of Rhizobium strain and<br />

phosphorus also increased the growth and yield of soyabean and also improves soil<br />

fertility and NPK uptake by plant.<br />

The intensive rainfall on 5 th and 6 th August, 2010 caused extensive damages in<br />

Leh, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir. The biggest ever natural catastrophe in the recent<br />

history, due to debris flow caused more than hundred deaths, damaged mostly all<br />

houses and breached all major communication networks in Leh, at a height of 11,500<br />

feet amsl, and located 424 km northeasterly from Srinagar along NH-1D.<br />

The region lies in the rain shadow zone of Himalaya which is absolutely devoid of<br />

the monsoon winds. The rainfall record of the region for the past five years shows that<br />

the average annual precipitation reported from the area is 75.7mm which includes<br />
