Notes on Nursery and Regeneration Technique of Some Species Occurring in Southern Tropical Wet Evergreen and Semi-evergreen Forests of Karnataka (India): Part-I

Abstract

Nursery and regeneration technique of nine species of Southern Tropical Wet Evergreen and Semi-evergreen Forests of Karnataka (India) has been suggested. The study was conducted in three nurseries located at different places, with different soil and rainfull. Length of roots and shoots of seedlings, selected at random, has been recorded. The root system of seedlings has been studied and described. A brief description of fruiting behaviour.
