The project is aimed at improving the quality of plantation teak through the initiation of tree improvement programme. Its specific objectives are: a) to establish seed production areas and initiate the establishment of seed orchards for production of high quality seed, and b) to strengthen the tissue culture laboratory and produce high quality clonal plantlets through tissue culture and shoot cutting from hedge gardens. The main expected outputs of the project are: - A total of 150 acres of seed production areas established at selected locations; - Provenance trials carried out and hedge gardens and a nursery established; - Trainings, workshops/seminars and study tours organized and conducted; - Tissue culture laboratory strengthened; and - High quality vegetatively propagated plantlets produced. |
