Vegetative propagation of forestry species has many advantages over seed raised plantations. Uniformity in plantation stand, fast growth and consequently higher biomass production are a few prominent points in favor of vegetative propagation. Lack of assured supply of the points necessitating search for an alternative strategy. Nursery technology available today needs improvement. Each planting centre should have a low-cost mist propagation unit so that good planting stock could be prepared throughout the year. Experience shows that on account of use of stecklings are capable of increasing productivity by 8-10 times. This has tremendous possibility for raising biomass productivity from wastelands.
