Cultivation:
Nursery Technique
Raising Propagules:
Seeds are collected from fully ripened fruits. The normal practice is to collect the fallen fruits. Seeds are sown in raised nursery bed of 10m x 1.0m. Seeds germinate in about 30-45 days after sowing. The nursery bed is prepared by mixing sand, soil and Farm Yard Manure in 1:1:1 ratio.
Transplanting the Seedlings to Poly Bags:
Seedlings of 45 days old are transplanted into poly bags having 10 kg of soil mixture containing sand, soil and FYM. Seedlings are maintained for about six months for proper root establishment in the poly bags.
Transplanting the Seedlings to Main Field and Optimum Spacing:
Trees are huge and can survive in the field about 80-100 years. The well established seedlings are planted in the field in rainy season. Spacing of 15m x 15m from plant to plant and row to row is recommended and accommodating 45 trees per hectare only.
Propogation:
Propagation material is seed.Harvesting:
Trees are cultivated for resinous gum. It is collected by incision in the bark. The plants are expected to yield gum after 15 years of planting. Yield of gum ranges from 0.5 kg in the initial harvesting to about 2.5 kg/tree at 40-50 years of age. Sustainable harvesting is obtained by removing 1/3rd of the bark of the plant to exude resin.
The tree becomes ready to yield resin after 20 years of age.
