ABSTRACT
WILLOW (SALIX SPP.) PROPAGATION - NEW TECHNIQUE
Mahmood Iqbal Sheikh, Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar
Abstract:
Methods employed for Willow cultivation in the country are rather medieval and have remained confined to planting of cutting insitu. Also the tree has been grown with little regard to the origin of the stock and its quality. An attempt has been made to collect willow material from different sources and to propagate the same by growing at close (3x3 ft) and wide spacing (3x3 ft) and planting out the latter when one year old. The results at the nursery stage as well those of field planting are quite encouraging.
