Propagation of <I>Calamus tenuis</I> Roxb.

Abstract

For raising artificial plantations of Calamus tenuis, sowing the whole fruits within ten days of collection in the nursery and tending them for two years before transplanting in the field, gives best results. Application of fertilizers after transplanting has no significant effect either on the growth of plants, numbers of suckers they produced after four years of growth or the survival percentage.
