Abstract

An experiment of mixed plantation of teak (Tectona grandis L.) and Khadsarani (Ccasuarina equisetifolia L.) with Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) as a parasite was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Kolhapur to study their suitability on marginal soils. It is observed that during 12 to 18 months growth was higher in teak followed by Casuarina and Sandalwood. All three species exhibited an excellent growth without hampering each other. Thus it is suggested that marginal soils of the region can be utilized successfully for plantation of valuable species like teak, Casuarina and sandalwood in combination.
