Eucalyptus clones |
 |
| ...................................................................................................................... |
|
Vegetatively propagated, genetically superior, fast growing and high yielding clones of Eucalyptus tereticornis and Eucalyptus camaldulensis are produced and supplied. |
|
Most of the eucalyptus clones are self pruned and do not need pruning. |
|
Trees raised from clones are uniform in growth with all the desirable genetic qualities, fast growing having cylindrical, large & knot free clear bole fetching more valuable wood with higher yields. |
|
Productivity of clones is 2 to 2.5 times higher compared to normal seedlings of eucalyptus. |
|
Better adaptability due to availability Of site specific clones. Clones suitable for alkaline (Kallar) soils are also available. |
|
Second and subsequent coppice crops can be raised without incurring replanting costs which may result still higher yields and returns. |
|
Inter cropping like wheat, peas, potato, fodder and vegetables etc. is possible throughout the rotation due to narrow crown with small size Of leaves. |
|
Naturally pruned, comparatively more resistant to diseases and insects thus, needs less maintenance cost and care in comparison to Poplars and most Of other forestry tree spices. |
|
Under irrigated conditions, planting may be done successfully throughout the year except very hot months Of May and June. |
|
Local markets are there for marketing Of Eucalyptus wood, which has versatile uses e.g., construction, plywood manufacturing, paper pulping, packing cases, poles etc. |
