| Experiment Background | Global demand for wood is increasing at an annual rate of 1.7 percent (Parthiban 2016) At the same time, planted forest resources are insufficient to meet current demands. The scope for expansion of forested area is limited (Gregory et al. 2002). This trend creates economic pressure that encourages the commercial exploitation of natural forests unless supply can be increased through the establishment of high yielding plantations. The current supply of raw materials for industries like pulpwood, plywood, furniture and matchwood energy in the state is far behind the demand. Hence, to meet the growing raw material requirement and also to subserve the 1988 National Forest Policy Guidelines of Indian Government and to keep pace with these progressive developmental changes in the country, the industries must expand sharply its plantation programme. However, considering the acute shortage of suitable raw material, the industries have to establish a plantation of suitable species with tree improvement programme to achieve maximum yield within a short rotation period. This besides, choice of alternative tree species to meet the raw material requirement of industries is the need of the hour. Neolamarckia cadamba is one such alternative species suitable for pulpwood, plywood, matchwood and also in pencil industry. The diversity existing in the species will help to generate a rich base population for initiating proper selection (Zobel 1981). Superior group CPTs may directly be utilized for raising commercial plantation for meet out industrial wood demand. | ||
