You have a wonderful blog here providing so much of information in agri/horti/forestry. Just found this blog looking for infomation in melia dubia.
I am Madhavi writing to you from Hyd, AP. My question to you is about another tree Kadamba - have one planted near my house 4 years ago has grown very well about 2 stories high - couple months ago leaves started turning brown/curled and falling - now all the big leaves are gone and the small leaves come but turn brown/ curled. The gardener sprayed malthion and some other insecticide. Leaf falling has stopped but tree has small brown/curled leaves. Also one more in the same row is affected but another couple trees on the opposite side of the road are not affected.
could you please suggest some remedy or any person I can contact who can help
thanks for your help

It will be easy for me to suggest remedial measures if you send some pictures of the affected tree as a whole and some close up shots of the affected tree parts.

Dear Vishnu Sankar, .....Very interesting to go through your blog. Trees are money spinners to the farmers at present.It is only the right type of tree species for the right place and silvicultural packages can do so. (Click: Money Spinning Trees) Contact me with full details on soil, rainfall, water source, resource availability etc., and i could suggest trees that could spin money in these areas. Thank you, From, K.Suresh, Prof & Head, Dept. of Agroforestry, Forest College & Research Institute, Mettupalayam 641 003, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.

Dear Mr.Sankar, I have seen your message on energy plantation and thanks for the promotional efforts. (For more info: Click 1 and Click 2.) To add to your view,I wish to inform that Forest college has already designed contract farming models exclusively for dendrobiomass based power generation. These modes are now successfully implemented through Auromira energy company now slowly. With kind regards, Dr. K. T. Parthiban, Ph. D., Associate Professor (Forestry), Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam 641 003, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.
