Engendering BY SEEDLINGS
Choice of mother trees

Arrangement of the preparing combination
Set up the preparing blend in the extent of one section red soil, one section sand and one section fertilizer in weighty precipitation regions and one section red soil, one section manure in low precipitation regions and blended in with a little amount of rock phosphate (10g/2Kg of the preparing combination).
