Abstract

Farmers have come forward for commercial teak cultivation on their individual lands. The cultivation practices of teak were identified and recommended for use to the farmers. The extent of adoption of these practices by 92 farmers in Akola District of Maharashtra State revealed that the farmers have planted recommended species of teak at appropriate time and distance. The adoption of intercrops, interculture operations, manures and fertilizers, and plant protection measures were found to be poor. The farmers need to be convinced about the usefulness of these practices for healthier plant growth. The literature on teak cultivation in local language be brought out to equip the farmers with necessary knowledge. Skill training on planting and plant protection be arranged for farmers. The procedure of lending loan in cash in yearly instalments be introduced. Healthy stumps at proper time may also be made available to prospective growers.
