Suggestion for Poplar nursery and plantation

Poplar: Turmeric can be sown in poplar having less than three years of age. In the plantations of three year and more than three years age, kharif fodders such as maize, sorghum, bajra, guinea grass etc. should be grown.

• Apply irrigations at weekly interval to nursery and field conditions.
• Poplar leaf defoliator and leaf webber in nurseries should be controlled by collecting and destroying the infested leaves.
• Apply one third doze of recommended nitrogen fertilizer during this month. In light textured soils, the deficiency of zinc is seen. Apply the zinc sulphate 21% (100, 200 and 300 g per plant in first, third and fifth year, respectively).
