air layering of Saraca asoca

[prasanna gogate]

dear all

I have done experiment on air layering of Saraca asoca, this photographs showing good quantity of roots. the plants are very good with good growth. this help to  reduce juvanile phase and it produuce seeds in early ie 2 to 3 year which are helpful to grow seedlings in nursery. seeds in wild are eaten by monkeys and they are big threat to natural regeneration of plant ..........

respected madhuri ji

air layering is method of vegetative propagation. by selecting pencil size branch bark of about 1 inch is removed and sphagnum moss is  tied around it ; after 45 to 60 days it produces roots. then cut branch and plant in poly bag. this help to reduce juvenile phase i.e. flowers come early within 2 to 3 years. and produce true to type seedlings as mother plant. mostly done in citrus,guava,aegle, yhank you. please  search on net for figures and details
