Eucalyptus Seeds
Land Preparation in Eucalyptus Farming:- The land selected for eucalyptus cultivation
(http://agrifarming.in/tag/eucalyptus-cultivation) should be free from weeds and any
previously cultivated crop roots. Couple of ploughings can make the soil to the fine tilth
stage. These activities should be carried 3 months in advance before plantation. Other
land preparation activities like ridging, harrowing and leveling should be completed by
April for monsoon plantation.
Pits Preparation: Dig the pit size of 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm in advance of planting.
Separate the soil of the top half of the pit and fill this top half soil back into the pit at
the bottom and rest of the soil on top.
Planting and Spacing in Eucalyptus Farming:- Usually, the planting of seedlings should be
done in July after regular monsoons.
Generally, planting time in north India is in June-July & Feb-March where as in south
India is from June-July. Planting time for colonels is all around the year.

Plant Spacing: The following chart explains the plant spacing and plant density in
eucalyptus farming.
Distance in meters Type of Planting. No. of plants/acre
1.5 m X 1. 5 m (ridges) No Intercropping 1675
1.25 m X 1.5 m (ridges) 2120
2 m X 2 m 1184
3 m X 1.5 m 980
3 m X 3 m With Intercropping 484
4 m X 3 m 345
4 m X 2 m 578
3 m X 1.2 m 1220
The most practiced spacing in Eucalyptus Farming is 2 X 2m.
Inter croppingin Eucalyptus Farming:- For getting extra income, most of the crops except
paddy can be grown in first 2 years of plantation. Thereafter, any shade loving crops like
ginger and turmeric or medicinal crops can be cultivated along with eucalyptus trees.
Additional fertilizers should be applied for intercrops.
Manures and Fertilizers in Eucalyptus Farming:- Eucalyptus plants responds very well to
manures and chemical fertilizers. Farm yard manures can be applied every year along with
chemical fertilizers. The following chart is fertilizer schedule in eucalyptus farming.
Year Month N.P.K.(or) N/Plant F.Y.M./Plant/Year
1 After 3 months 30 grams 2 kg.
2 50 grams 3 kg.
3 80 grams 4 kg.
4 150 grams 6 kg.
Irrigation in Eucalyptus Farming:- Irrigation should be carried out as soon as seedlings are
transplanted in the main field. Drip irrigation (http://agrifarming.in/tag/drip-irrigation) can
be adopted for keeping moisture intact. However, number of irrigations depends on the
soil type, weather conditions. Even though eucalyptus is a drought tolerant tree, for quick
returns and good yield, an about 25 irrigations should be carried in entire growth period
(especially in summer or hot dry season). There is no need of any irrigation in rainy
seasons. This tree partially tolerates water stagnation. However, in case of heavy flooding
or rain, make sure to drain out the soil.
Weed Control in Eucalyptus Farming:- Manual weeding can be carried out and harrowing
should be done 2 to 4 times in winter and summer.
Thinning and Pruning in Eucalyptus Farming:- In case of high density plantations,
mechanical thinning should be done after first year of planting. Unwanted, weak and poor
seedlings should be removed as part of thinning process. Thinning is done to get large
size and straight poles. Basically, the number of thinning operations depends on
objectives of the management. In case of clones, no thinning and pruning is required up
to harvesting stage. Pruning is required at the end of second year or after beginning of
3rd year.
Plant growth in in Eucalyptus Farming:- The girth of the plant should be measured at 1.4
meter height above the ground level.
