KFRI Research Report No - Kerala Forest Research Institute

old trees at 90 cm height provided plenty of coppice shoots. Cuttings produced fromcoppice shoots rooted readily in mist chamber when treated with 4000 ppm IBA.Watering and fertilizer application improved coppice shoot production. List of Acaciaclones developed are provided in Table 24.3.6. CMA for AcaciasThe clones of acacia species consisted of the following:1. A. mangium : 42. A. auriculiformis : 53. A. crassicarpa : 34. A. aulacocarpa : 45. Mangium hybrid : 10All the clones of Acacia spp. were developed from provenance trees (Table 24)Ten mangium hybrid clones viz. SU 3, SU 4, SU5, SU 38, SU 40, SU 47, HT 7, HT 10,BC 65, FC 6, were also maintained in the acacia clonal nursery. The mangium hybridclones were obtained from West Coast Paper Mills, Dandeli and Mysore Paper Mills,Shimoga.Table 24. List of KFRI Acacia clones planted in CMASl.
