Cloned plants are generally taken from mother plants by pruning the small aged branches and put in the bags and makeup those with fertilizers which is called direct propagation or artificial propagation which harms plants growth results.Even the root system doesnt be strong & healthy in the plants growth.
Where as seed germinated plants case: Seeds are collected from parent plants in the forest and are naturally propagated in the nurseries for about 6-8 Months germination process, in this seed germination process the success rate of plants is also 25% Only. One seed gives 4 plants.As this is a forest crop it doesnt grow in unifom basis, i have the authenticate sources too to prove this my statements.
There is a big contract plantation in andhra pradesh chittor dist near kadirey cheruvu about 175acres seed germinated plants. Now the plants are in one year stage. Which is health and giving good output.
There has been no research conducted in this plant regarding clones from mettupalayam forest college or even from kerala forest research institute as they suggest to go for seed germinated plants which gives good growth in plants. The person who introduced this crop to the media 'Dr.G kumarcvelu forest officer' and where now he is in state planning commission in tamiladu chennai.Give farmers the sources before you give such statements.
We are not claiming with stories but your hooking up with new stories from business mind and driving farmers into wrong direction. We can provide the farmers about the buyers.
So far this Melia Dubia was not ready for Harvest anywhere in India. The Plywood companies are purchasing the Big Trees in Mysore which were naturally Grown on the Bunds of the Fields. We can expect the Marketing only after the Product is ready. However we are Promoting a Company/NGO for Marketing of this Timber after Harvest as suggested by TNAU Officials. On the environmental front, the cultivation of Melia dubia tree will help reduce the atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels through carbon sequestration. This tree accumulates a biomass of 300 tonnes/hectares in six years, and removes 150 tonnes of atmospheric carbon-dioxide through sequestration. These consortia mode tree cultivation will help to protect the reserve forests of India, by reducing the pressure on them for supply of raw material, say Forest College experts.
The tree grows in all kinds of soil and the wood fetches a minimum of Rs. 7,500/tonne once it reaches a girth of 20 inches. The farmer will be able to get Rs. 6-8 lakh from an acre within six years, a source said. Now we are on the Job. Because this Timber is of multiple uses, there will not be any Problem for Market/Demand on the following reasons:
1. Govt. Of India has imposed a permanent Ban on drawing of Timber from Indian Forests.
2. Almost all Naturally Grown Trees were exhausted for the use of Firewood, Plywood, and Timber etc.
3. Presently most of the Furniture is being imported due to lack of quality Timber in the Market.
4. Most of the Timber for Construction is being imported.
5. Being it a Fastest Growing Tree in the World, it will give ample Timber on its Harvest.
6. It is a Fact that almost all the Plywood Industries are importing Timber for their Raw material Timber needs.
Currently the melia dubia plants are being purchased in hosur and coimbatore.
In Hosur, 'Huns plywood pvt ltd' is purchasing 10years plants in 1cft calculation with minimum girth of 4foot for Rs/- 450 by suggesting farmers to grow the plantation with 20x20 distance.
In coimbatore, 'Ambiply Doors & Panels Pvt Ltd' is purchasing 5years and above plants in tons calculation with minimum girth of 1.5foot for Rs/- 7500 by harvesting and transporting to thier gate.
There might be few fellows who may collect amatured plants from early aged plants and do direct propagation within 15-30 days by using fertilizers support and sell for cheap rates.
Lets take an example in andhra pradesh that 3match box cost is rs/-3,But it weights not more than 3gm. But if we purchase a normal wood from a mill which costs around rs/-3.
1 Melia dubia plant gives you 500kgs weight in its basic maturity age of 5 years, which is already proved in timer depo testing in all aspects.if you extend to 7years it might give 750kgs - Upto 1000kgs i.e. 1 Ton. If you take above example as concern cost may be upto Rs/-3000. If you do plantation in an acre with 10x10 distance you can do upto 450-460 plants in an acre. Exclude 50 Plants as miscellinious due to genetic problem or something. 400 plants in your hand which gives 400tons or 200 tons.Farmer can earn 8lakhs - upto 12 Lakhs even in worst conditions he can upto 7lakhs.
Everybody of us know that your doing reselling business collecting pictures from our farms and publishing and claiming as those pictures are yours.
So finally you have become big fun by giving all such scripted commercial stories.
wait for a week i will post buyers of hyderabad plywood companies soon.
I will be eagerly waiting for your reply ASPS.

Sri Amirtha Nursery Farm
