Industrial plantations have been recognized as an integrated part of Indian forestry in the recent past to meet the growing needs of industries, besides satisfying domestic demands. The forest as well as agricultural policies of the country have recommended strong farmerlinked industrial wood plantation through benefit-sharing mechanism. Against this backdrop, the pulp and paper industries in the State of Tamil Nadu have promoted agro- and farmforestry-based industrial wood plantations through technological support from Forest College and Research Institute, TNAU, Mettupalayam (T.N.). This paper describes the successful establishment of Eucalyptus and Casuarinas based pulpwood plantations in the state. During 2004-05 to 2006-07, 19,349 acres have been covered in which 91% of the plantations were established in farmlands through people's participation.Keywords

The State of Tamil Nadu is housed with 39 paper mills of which two mills viz., Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Ltd, Karur and Seshasayee Paper Board, Erode are the wood based paper industries. These two industries utilize around 4 lakh tonnes of woody biomass, which are mostly derived from Casuarina and Eucalyptus plantations of Tamil Nadu Forest Plantation Corporation and partly from farm lands. But recently, both the mills have expanded their paper production, which requires nearly 8-10 lakhs tonnes of wood pulp against the current availability of nearly 3.5 -4.0 lakh tonnes. This ushered in a large gap between the demand and supply, thus necessitates alternate sources for raw material. To meet the growing demands and also to promote pulp wood plantations as per the guidelines of 1988 forest policy, both the industries have initiated farm and agroforestry plantations through contract farming system by adopting tri and quad-partite models. In this system, Casuarina and Eucalyptus have been promoted as pulp wood plantations. The contract farming facilitates supply of quality planting materials to the farmers at subsidized prices coupled with assurance of minimum support price and credit facilities through financial institutions. This paper discusses the success of contract farming along with the area covered under various districts of the state.Keywords

Correlation and path coefficient studies were carried out in 15 seed sources of Simarouba glauca DC. collected from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Orissa. Genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than phenotypic correlation coefficient in all the cases. Height and basal diameter had positive and highly significant correlation with volume index at both phenotypic and genotypic levels, in all the three locations viz. Mettupalayam, Tindivanam and Coimbatore. Height exhibited positive and highly significant inter correlation with basal diameter at both levels in all three locations. Path analysis revealed that height and basal diameter exhibited positive direct effect, while number of branches showed negative direct effect on volume index in all the three locations except at Mettupalayam. Height and basal diameter could serve as reliable selection index.Keywords
