sandal wood

Dear friend
White sandal wood is the real sandal wood it is called Santalum album
Red sandal wood is called Pterocarpus santalinus- it is used in medicine and carving work. It is an endemic plant and restricted its distribution to the Royalaseema area of Andhapradesh (Thirupathi area). its cultivation will not be much useful. (Pterocarpus marsupium, is a good timber and medicinal tree, it can be cultivated in fallow lands just like teak)
You can grow white sandal wood (Santalum album) - the wood oil is the premium product, used in sandal flavoured soaps, perfumary industries, wood costs Rs. 2000- 3000/ kg.

Hi Ashok,

Sent you a Pvt msg with the details and the URL.

For the benefit of others, here are a few details that i could accumulate:

1. The soil Preferably should be Red soil.
2. Per acre you can accomodate 400 - 500 saplings based on the gap between each of them.
3. If you go for a bulk order it might cost you around 90/- per sapling.
4. No Permission required at the time of Plantation only at the time of Harvest you need to take a NOC from the Forest Department.
5. Govt used to provide subsidy till few weeks back. But, have currently they have stopped it.

Teak and sandalwood plantations

Hi vadi,

The teak and sandalwood trees are forestry plants.In forest there is no systematic cultivation so thats called wild cultivation or natural cultivation .But now the farmers got awarness about forestry plants cultivation due to some domestic reasons.Thats called field cultivation and sysytematic cultivation.Normally the both teak and sandal are aried crops but if do in our land we must provide some quantum of water.For example minimum three litreas per day per teak aswellas sandal .In field cultivation the teak and sandal will not survive if some trees are survived the yield pattern will be very poor.
