I would like to get information on the ways of taking care of a 4 year old teakwood plantation.
There are about 200 teakwood trees spread in an area of 1.25 acres in Kottayam district of Kerala.
The questions that I have are:
1) Near the bottom of the tree, there are pests that have started to damage the tree by boring holes. How do I get rid of these pests or ensure that damage done is minimal?
2)Do we have to prune the branches of the trees?
3)Between the trees, there are creepers that have started to grow. Will this create a problem?
4) Can we grow plantains in midst of the teakwood trees?
5)What are the fertilizers that can be used for the plantation at this age?
Till now, we have only used cowdung and goat dung as the fertilizers.
6)Some teakwood trees within the plantation have got permanently damaged. Can I replace them with fresh plants? If so, which month is ideal?
