Advisory related to forestry

Transplanting of most of the tree species like Safeda, Kikar, Subabul, Tahli, Dek, Nim, Sagwan etc. should be done during rainy season. The pits of 50 x 50 x 50 cm should be filled with 50 % top soil and 50 % farm yard manure. Plant the seedlings in the centre of the pit after gently removing the polythene bag. Care should be taken that the earth ball and roots may not get damaged. The plants should be watered immediately after planting.
