Introduction And
Need To Know Before
- MELIA DUBIA , ALSO KNOWN AS MALABAR NEEM, ROYAL TREE, MALASYIN NEEM ETC., IS A
MELIACEAE FAMILY TREE. IT HAS BECOME FAMOUS ALL ACROSS THE BHARAT BECAUSE OF
IT’S FAST GROWING CAPACITY. IT IS A SOFTWOOD TIMBER WITH MULTIPURPOSE USES. IT
CAN BE HARVESTED WITHIN 7 TO 8 YEARS. IT IS USEFUL FOR MANY INDUSTRIES, SUCH
AS:- PAPERWOOD, FIREWOOD, FURNITURE, PLYWOOD & PANEL.
- MINIMUM 20 TO 30 INCHES OF RAIN IS NECESSARY FOR BETTER GROWTH. RAIN WATER
SHOULD NOT STOP INTO FARM FOR LONG TIME.
- AT INITIAL STAGE IRRIGATION IS A KEY TO ACHIEVE BEST GROWTH. WE NEED TO WATER
PLANTS UPTO 3 YEARS DEPENDING ON GROWTH. TDS VALUE OF WATER SHOULD NOT BE MORE
THAN 1000 FOR BEST RESULTS.
- PH VALUE OF LAND SHOULD BE BETWEEN 5.5 TO 8 FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH. HARVESTING CAN
BE DONE IN 7 YEARS IN FERTILE & IRRIGATED LAND.
- DISTANCE BETWEEN PLANTS SHOULD BE 12 X 12 FT. OR 15 X 15 FT. AT THE DISTANCE OF
12 X 12 FT. 304 PLANTS & AT THE DISTANCE OF 15 X 15 FT. 192 PLANTS CAN BE
PLANTED IN ONE ACRE.
- INTERCROPPING IS POSSIBLE UPTO 3 YEARS. NATURAL FARMING IS MUST FOR BETTER
FUTURE OF SOIL, PLANTS & COUNTRY.
Inputs and Outputs
- 300 PLANTS CAN BE PLANTED IN ONE ACRE AT THE DISTANCE OF 12 X 12 FT. ONE PLANT COST 20 RS. SO,
300 X 20 = 6000 RS.
- CHEMICAL FREE FERTILIZER OF 15 RS IS USED IN ONE PIT. SO, 300 X 15 = 4500 RS. [ FERTILIZER RATES
MAY VARY ACCORDING TO LOCATION ]
- DIGGING PITS & PLANTING THE PLANTS COST 6 TO 8 RS PER PLANT. SO, 300 X 8 = 2400 RS. [ THIS COST
MAY VARY ACCORDING TO VAGES OF LABOURS OF DIFFERENT AREAS ]
- ALL OTHER EXPENSES LIKE :- FENCING, LAND PREPARATION, BORE WELL, INSTALLATION OF DRIP & OTHERS
WILL BE ADDITIONAL. [ THOSE EXPENSES WILL BE MENTIONED IN PROJECT REPORT ]
- WE NEED TO KNOW ONE THING VERY CLEARLY. TO MAKE MELIA DUBIA FARMING
PROFITABLE,MINIMUM GIRTH OF TREE SHOULD BE 36
INCHES UPTO 20-25 FEET FROM THE BOTTOM. TIMBER IS CUT INTO LOGS OF 08 FEETS.
ON BOTH THE END GIRTH SHOULD BE 36 INCHES TO
BE MOST BENEFICIAL FOR COMPANY & FARMERS.
- ONE TREE PRODUCE 750-1000 KG WEIGHT OR 15-20 CFT. OF WOOD.
- IT COST 8000-10000 RS PER TON OR 325-450 RS PER CFT. IT MEANS ONE TREE
CAN FETCH 4000-8000 RS AS PURE PROFIT.
- IN 8 YEARS 12-15 RS LACS EARNING IS POSSIBLE FROM ONE ACRE.
- ALL OTHER WOOD MATERIAL OF A TREE ALSO CAN BE SOLD TO OTHER INDUSTRIES.
