Science Notes I Air Layering in Forestry Practice ( a Preliminary Note)

Abstract

This note describes the experimental work on "Air Layering" done at New Forest, Dehra Dun, since 1952. Forty-two common trees species were tried for vegetative propagation by air layers of which 17 were successfully propagated, 8 others were propagated with difficulty and the rest failed to propagate. The details of the method as practised in New Forest are given.
