Propagation :
Through cuttings :
Planting Method : Cuttings are
planted in polythene bags with sandy-loam soil mixed well with FYM,
watered daily and kept till they are one year old.
Transplanting: The seedlings when 4
to 10 cm high are transplanted into polythene bags and the bags are kept
under shade, duly watered for a month. Then the shade is removed and
watering continued for another 3 to 4 months daily. At the end of this
period, roots develop and are 20 to 30 cm long. These are planted out
during rainy season. One year old cuttings are field planted at a
spacing of 3.5 to 4.5 m in 30 cm3 pits. Both water logged sites and
overshadowing by other trees must be avoided. One or two hoeings around
the plant to 1 m radius and 15 cm depth are done in the first two
years.
