Sandalwood(chandana) saplings and Guidance for Project Feasibility, Govt. Subsidy,We have with us best quality Sandal wood nursery plants, interested growers contact us we are giving cultivation knowledge also.
sandalwood plants of different size at reasonable costs and guidance to plant them
LEGAL ASPECTS : The govt. of Gujarat Forest Department GR Dated 17th March. 2003, “Every occupant or holder of land shall be legally entitled to sandal wood tree in his land”
GOVT. SUBSIDY : National medicinal plants board (Dept. of I.S.M &H.) Govt. of India giving subsidy as per OPERATIOMAL GUIDELINES to Sandal wood cultivators.
LOAN FACILITIES : Nationalised Banks and co – op banks are financing the Sandal wood plantation projects.
CULTIVATION OF SANDALWOOD: Sandal wood can be grown in variety of soil and ranging different climatic condition and temperature, not restricted to any region or area. The plantation grown Sandal wood with intensive cultivation in organic manner gives good results than the natural once. The naturally grown Chandan tree requires more than 30 years for harvesting, where as invasively cultivated plants starts formation of scented heart wood around 10 to 25 kgs. with the width of 30 cm and 65 cm. in 10 to 15 years. These results are based on the actual existing plantation in nearby places. The management practices, irrigation, fertilization, soil working, drainage, inducing stress and manipulation in hosteria are the main criteria for the early growth. Yearly growth around 2cm to 5 cm. it is cleat that sandal wood prefers a well drained, moderately fertile land and the heart wood the oil content in the wood seems to be better under drier condition.SAPPLINGS FOR PLANTATION:Collected seed from August to march with identified seed collecting area of the age between 15 to 25 years plants, dried and treated seeds used for sowing by indigiones or scientific method. Well developed healthy seedlings of 6 to 8 months old is ideal for planting in the farm. May and June is right time for planting.
COST:In one acre land total plants be around 435. the distance from plant to plant is 10ft (10’*10’). The pits size 45cm*45cm*45cm. Water should not stagnate in pit. In summer we should provide water twice a week (2liters each plant) and Bio – fertilizer, weeding is necessary. After 3 to 4 years of cultivation it will starts flowering, by that time the formation of heart wood take place.
The Costing Per AcrePlant Rs. 50*435 = 21750.00
Host plants Rs. 10*435 = 4350.00
Planting cost (Including soil workings, Pits @ 5/=each Rs.4350.00
Cost of drip irrigation Rs. 105000.00
Fencing Rs. 42000.00
Annual weeding & soil working for 8 years (Rs.2000x8) =16000.00
Irrigation (Rs.2000 x 8) =16000.00
Fertilization (Rs.5000 x 8) =40000.00
Security & vigilance (Rs.36000/-per year) for 8 Yers Rs. 288000.00
Total Exp. Rs. 537450.00
PROFIT:After 12 years each plant may yield almost 10 to 25 kg of heart wood I.e., depend upon the growth of the tree. If we cultivate properly by 12 years the girth may around 60 cm at breast level. The oil content in root is 4% to 6% each year the growth will be 5cm,
NET PROFIT WOULD BE MORE THAN Rs. 2,50,00,000/ Acre
