Ref to one of fastest growing species...Dear Sankar. Ref to one of fastest growing species I have 5 kg seeds of Casuarina here imported from Bangalore in Karachi. <br />The size of seeds so small and lighter weight. Trying to make Polly bags a v complicated issue. <br />If I go and throw seeds over open land in July a month before August rain, Sir you think it is a good idea. <br />And leaving them in water a few days before soaking would that give more germination. <br /><br />I will plant them in Central Sindh along with Melia Dubia.<br /><br />Rgds<br /><br />MansoorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639548652530213175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199670143321519810.post-23507988962446754102015-01-08T02:12:34.569-08:002015-01-08T02:12:34.569-08:00How about cultivate inbetween banana plants?

Never plant in old coconut plantatio...Dear Friend,<br /><br />Never plant in old coconut plantations where canopy closes fully and prevents sunlight to penetrate. In initial years preferably at the time of planting of Coconut you can definitely go for Casuarina intercrop with due care. <br /><br />Take precautions like East - West proper orientation to harvest maximum sunlight for both the crops. <br /><br />Never plant Casuarina on the line of Coconut row and plant them only in the gaps (E X W) min 7' away from Coconut row. <br /><br />In 25'x25'coconut plot you will get a 11' central gap for planting Casuarina. So 3 rows can be planted with a spacing of five and half feet (7+5.5+5.5+7=25)if it is drip irrigated. Give plant to plant spacing of 1.5 meres and go for only one crop and one harvest. If the plan is flood irrigation and if you have the water potential to irrigate weekly twice, then go for more wider spacing i.e., only two rows between the gaps. <br /><br />I have seen many plantations where rapidly growing Casuarina tends to suppress the growth of the main crop. So please be careful at the planning stage itself.

The next crop cultivated after harvesting Casuarina will definitely give you very good returns.

First of all I need to thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge thru your blogs. <br /><br />We are in the process of deciding what to plant in our 25 acres land near kayathar, Tirunelveli. Some of my friends suggested not to plant Casuarina Junghuhniana saying it would make the soil unfit for cultivating any other crops after that. Our concern is what have to be done after Casuarina is harvested. Can you please share your expertise on that.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />RajaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
