 Principle Investigator: Dr. K.S. Kapoor

 Period: 2002-2006

 Objectives:

• To study the site characteristics supporting these identified species.
• To study the ecological requirements of the identified species.
• To carry out comparative studies on various ecological parameters of these identified plant species in the zones of their distribution.
• To take up nursery trials of the species on pilot basis.
• To standardize nursery techniques of the identified species keeping in view the various ecological and silvicultural requirements.                                                                         Back
