Progress Report of Forest Research Work in India for the Year 1921-22 Including the Administration Report of the Forest Research Institute Dehra Dun

1923

The recommendations of this Conference have been sent up to the Local Government for approval and it is hoped that they will be sanctioned in full." At the Central Institute at Dehra Dun good progress was made in the construction of workshops and laboratories and the complete transfer should be effected before the end of March 1923. [...] The method of dealing with the general scheme of extension received careful consideration and orders were passed after the close of the year to proceed with the transfer of the Economic and Entomological branches to the new site. [...] These aim at the reduction of the evergreen undergrowth in the sal forests of the Goalpara Division by ctitting and burning and at the same time reducing the overhead cove to 3-7-15 trees per acre. [...] The above results show that the clearing of the undergrowth and the reduction of the overhead cover followed by burning of the slash does undoubtedly produce successful re-generation and it will he necessary to systematise the work in order to reduce the cost of soil preparation and subsequent tending. [...] Silvicultural systems.—The fact that so much of the evergreen forests is worthless precludes the adoption of any but the system of artificial regeneration for the bulk of the forests and present indictions point to some such simple system as the quartier bleu as the most suitable.
