To manage the supply of raw materials in a holistic manner it is obvious that raising technology based intensively managed plantations on degraded wastelands, uncultivated farmlands, farm bunds and other lands are the only way to meet the demand of wood based industries. Studies concluded that soaking the seeds in water for three days interrupted with the leaching (changing) at 24h interval enhanced the germination of seed to the maximum of 51 per cent. The production of higher recovery of plantable seedlings revealed that 50 g m-2 produced higher number of seedlings. With respect to...

India has rich heritage of species and genetic strains of flora and fauna. Overall six percent of world species are found in India. It is one of the twelve mega-biodiversity countries of the world having over 150,000 species of plants and animals. Bamboo and rattan constitute important species occurring widely in the Indian forests.India is the secondest largest genetic resource in the world. These valuable genetic resource need to be tapped for food production.

Recently there is a growing awareness on the promotion and utilization of Populus deltoides, a species with multipurpose utility amenable for short rotation forestry and their integration in Agroforestry system. Progeny testing must follow plus tree selection to determine the actual genetic worth. It is a key to determine the kind and control of variability. The objectives of progeny testing are evaluation of the parents, estimation of genetic parameters, and source of another cycle of selection, certification of seed source and developing of seedling seed orchard.

Biofuel is an eco-friendly, alternative diesel fuel prepared from domestic renewable resources i.e. vegetable oils (edible or non-edible oil) and animal fats. India has about hundreds of species which could yield oilseeds that have enough potential for use in biodiesel production. Since India is deficient in edible oils, therefore, the non-edible oils could be the desirable source for production of bio-diesel. In such case, tree borne oilseeds (TBOs) are the permanent importance of achieving self-sufficiency in oil seed production and as well as the expansion of green cover could only be...
