A critical assessment of series of high input teak plantations established by Divisional Manager, F.D.C.M. Ltd., Thane Division has been carried out. Application ofirrigation and fertilizers have definitely shown positive response and has resulted in gains overrainfed plantations. Continuous monitoring of response to irrigation has revealed that except during juvenile stage, there is lack of response to irrigation during winter months i.e. period of dormancy. Claims of spectacular growth with higher inputs round the year made by number of agencies engaged in tree plantation ventures, are thus not supported. A judicious application of irrigation and greater emphasili on genetic improvement is thus stressed.

Abstract


A critical assessment of series of high input teak plantations established by Divisional Manager, F.D.C.M. Ltd., Thane Division has been carried out. Application ofirrigation and fertilizers have definitely shown positive response and has resulted in gains overrainfed plantations. Continuous monitoring of response to irrigation has revealed that except during juvenile stage, there is lack of response to irrigation during winter months i.e. period of dormancy. Claims of spectacular growth with higher inputs round the year made by number of agencies engaged in tree plantation ventures, are thus not supported. A judicious application of irrigation and greater emphasili on genetic improvement is thus stressed.
