teak status in madhya pradesh state
A Brief note on teak in Madhya Pradesh state
Madhya Pradesh the heart land of India has 443446 sq km of geographical area in that total forest cover is 13164 sq km having teak forest area is 23973 sq km of 17.70% of total forest area. The forest area is managed sustainably according to scientifically prepared working plants. This produces 0.25 million cubic meters of teak timber annually.
In Madhya Pradesh teak forest is present in the state which is predominantly distributed in southern and central part of Madhya Pradesh. Though teak is found in dry and hot area also but its growth is luxuriant in moist tropical climate. It is found rainfall range between 700mm to 2500mm.
In Madhya Pradesh teak is generally planted with root shoot material in forest area initially at a spacing of 2 x 2 mt. Teak is conventional planted at this close spacing to enhance initial height growth.
Teak plantation in Madhya Pradesh dates back to 1891 when in North Raipur division, a forest guard named Mani ram on his own initiative planted 8 hectares with teak. In Madhya Pradesh following of national commission on agricultural recommendations after 1976 the forest development corporation of Madhya Pradesh was formed and large scale teak plantations were taken up in 12 districts.
The Madhya Pradesh forest department with their experience on practicing mainly in teak plantations stating that, teak plantations with superior planting material of clonal origin, used with higher input of fertilizer, soil working and irrigation, can produce very good growth rate. However such efforts can maximize the benefit only if teak is planted as a pure crop.
In the year 1975 the Madhya Pradesh forest development corporation was formed to take up wide scale of teak plantations in the forest areas. Regular planting up operations begin in the year 1976. By the time the forest department of Madhya Pradesh planted around 42000 hectares of teak plantations in the forest areas. The Madhya Pradesh forest development corporations added another 1.2 lakh hectare till 1995. Now the forest development corporation is taking degraded teak and miscellaneous forests for stump planting in the gaps.
In other teak forest of the state the conversion to uniform system has been completely discontinued in the year 1980. Such areas, which were previously worked under this system, were put under the selection and selection cum improvement felling system. Other areas are worked under coppice with reserves system. Now, most of the forest areas either in selection cum improvement or in coppice system, natural regeneration is woefully deficient.
Madhya Pradesh forest Development Corporation is engaged enriching the forest of the state since its inception. The present project in operation is a teak plantation project I. The basic objective of this commercial project is to raise valuable teak forest in degraded forests of Madhya Pradesh. The strategy adopted under this project is to apply the technology of supplementary regeneration of teak in the eco-type forests of the state.
Firstly the government forest land constitutes the project site. So no cost of land has been computed in the economic valuation of the project. Secondly the planting method has been evolved in such a manner that only teak saplings or stumps will be planted in the existing gaps in the degraded forests. The available root stocks in the degraded forests are taken advantage of. Thirdly the rotation adopted in the project is the rotation of the maximum volume production.
In Madhya Pradesh most of the private farmers are showing interest in raising of plantations with teak. So far the Madhya Pradesh forest department and also the private farmers in the state is producing seed origin stump or bag plants of teak and supplying them to the farmers for planting purpose.
Conclusion of MOTHER AGRI BIOTECH LABORATORIES INDIA PVT. LTD. BANGALORE.:
The Madhya Pradesh forest department is still practicing to raise teak plantations with seed origin based prepared teak stumps. The Madhya Pradesh forest department have full knowledge and staff in preparing of clonal teak plants to be prepared through macro propagation like budding i.e., collect the vegetative material from selected mother plants (CPT’s) of teak. Not only by the forest department of Madhya Pradesh, but also many research wings saying that the benefits from the teak plantations, what were planted with clonal teak rammets give 4 times benefits than planting with seed origin prepared teak stumps. The Madhya Pradesh forest department is raising teak plantations with teak stumps, and also supplying the teak stumps to the public to plant them in their private lands of the farmers. With these plantations the forest department of Madhya Pradesh and also the private farmers are not obtaining their expected yield, and losing full financial benefits.
If we can raise plantations with clonal teak tissue culture plants, through collect the vegetative material from selected CPT’s(mother plants) of the Madhya Pradesh forest department, they can be 100% possible to get expected yield in reducing the rotation period of the plantations. But, so far, although the Madhya Pradesh forest department have good knowledge in this connection, why the Madhya Pradesh forest department is not implementing this technique, that to prepare clonal teak tissue culture plants for raising teak plantations.
It is proved that the Madhya Pradesh forest department or any other wing of the state is not in a position to prepare the clonal teak tissue culture plants, we the MOTHER AGRI BIOTECH LABORATORIES INDIA PVT. LTD. BANGALORE. will make possible to produce the clonal teak tissue culture plants, keeping in view of wealth of private teak farmers of Madhya Pradesh, and also for raising plantations in Madhya Pradesh forest department VSS areas which is most useful for their self sustain.
Our MOTHER AGRI BIOTECH LABORATORIES INDIA PVT. LTD. BANGALORE, achievements are with the details as follows:
We are one and only high yielding tissue culture teak producers in India and abroad
Hello Madam/Sir,
1. Other than water logging soils are suitable for teak
2. For block plantation ideal spacing is 10 feet x 10 feet whereas in border plantation spacing is 6 feet in between two plants. Pit size is 45 cm dia and 45 cm depth.
3. Farm yard manure or vermi compost is the best nutrient while planting time 2 kg for each pit.
4. Drip irrigation is suitable for teak. In case of manual watering, it should be done based on plant age. For 1 month old plant (up to 1 month) - daily watering, for 4 months old plant - once for every 4 days and for 8 months old plant - once for every 10 days
5. Tissue culture teak plants r having adventitious root system.
In India we are producing 7 breeders of tissue culture teak , which r suitable for all over INDIA and another 120 countries in the WORLD. In this mail i have sent detailed information regarding tissue culture of teak plants. If interested please make a call or send e mail to share our views
