Narender Saineni
what I know so far
there are several melia dubia plantations, the plant is growing fast,
its wood is useful for timber if girth is more than 100cm ( it will
take about 10 yrs for this)
it can be used as firewood, or firewood for biomass based power plants
it can be used as paper pulp.
the nurseries are promoting the farmers to go for this plantation
tamilanadu x ccf Dr Kumaravelu has written an article in Hindu ,
saying farmer can easilty earn Rs 40K per annum per acre with low
maintenance ( since plantations of wood do not need high maintenance),
almost no problem of pests etc.
this information has to be affirmed by the farmers who made money out
of it. if there are any in the world who have come upto that stage.

A new initiative of contract farming of plywood has been launched in Tamil Nadu. .
The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University’s Forest College and Research Institute at Mettupalayam has initiated this activity.
The programme has taken off with Ambiply Panels and Doors inking an agreement with the research institute for training farmers to grow Melia dubia, a fast growing tree species that has been gaining importance in recent years in Tamil Nadu.
Research personnel at the College say that after conducting field trails for over a decade, they have released two high yielding varieties– TNAU Melia MTP 1 and TNAU Melia MTP 2 – which were found suitable for making of quality plywood.
“These incidentally, are also the most sought after species by the plywood industry. Having witnessed the potential of Melia dubia as a raw material for the plywood industry, Ambiply Panels and Doors approached us to promote and support plantations in farm holdings. Hence a consortia-based contract plywood farming model was conceived and designed for implementation in Tamil Nadu,” they said.
This model will ensure buyback and assured price supportive mechanism for the growers. This will also create sustained supply of quality raw material to the plywood industry throughout the year.
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.
More than 200 farmers, members belonging to the tree growers association, financial institutions, plywood manufacturers and other stakeholders participated in the inaugural function, held at the Institute in Mettupalayam.
Earlier, Forest College Dean P. Durairasu said that contract farming in tree species has been demonstrated in pulpwood and matchwood species by the college and more than 30,000 hectares have been brought under tree cover in 29 districts of the State.
With the availability of solid wood from natural forests coming to a standstill according to the guidelines of the National Forest Policy, 1988, the need for alternate forms of wood like plywood is on the rise.
