TNAU MELIA DUBIA - INDUSTRIAL WOOD TREE

Pruning
The tree has to be pruned periodically to avoid multiple branching.
The trees with clear bole will fetch good price in the market.

Insects and Pest:
Defoliators, leaf miners and sap suckers are recorded along with several wood borers.
Ganoder malucidum causes root rot in high rainfall areas and Corticium salmonicolor causes stem and twig canker.
Root rot is a major disease which can be controlled by the application of bavistin or copper oxychloride.
