Business Line (New Delhi)
The Kerala Forest Research Institute(KFRI) here is planning to register with the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) 15 "very good" clones of eucalyptus it has developed through a five-year research project. The new clones are expected to solve a significant paradox in the plantation sector in the State - that eucalyptus, introduced for its 'fast-growing' quality, has seldom grown up to deliver the promises.
