Annual Report <strong>2008</strong>-09<br />
These hedge plants would serve as a source for fresh shoot material for future<br />
clonal propagation programme on a large scale.<br />
Improving the yield and reducing the rotation age of teak plantations through<br />
superior clonal teak<br />
Clonal propagation of promising plus<br />
trees of teak, T1,T10,T11,T7,T24,<br />
T34,T46 and T47 were carried out inside<br />
the mist propagation chamber. Suffi<br />
cient number of juvenile shoots were<br />
prepared inside the mist chamber and<br />
these were used for providing fresh buds<br />
for carrying out tissue culture trials.<br />
Promising results were obtained in<br />
micro-propagation of clones - T1, T10,<br />
T7, and T24. Sufficient numbers of<br />
stock plants of promising clones were<br />
prepared and kept ready for large- scale<br />
Clonal propagation in the mist chamber<br />
multiplication work.<br />
Field performance of micro and macropropagated planting stock of selected five<br />
commercially important bamboo species<br />
Planting of Dendrocalamus asper and Bambusa balcooa was completed in experimental<br />
plots at Attappady. The planting stock of Bambusa bambos and Dendrocalamus strictus<br />
was proliferated and an area near Kalpathy river bank was identified for planting.<br />
