Our mother plant and nursery set-up for production of clonal plants of Casuarina are located at following three places in Tamil Nadu to cater to needs of farmers across south India.
- Manikandam Trichy district
- Manamthavilnthaputhur, Cuddalore District.
Our mother plants and nursery area is spread over 110 acres in these three locations and we are the largest producer of clonal casuarina sapling producer in the country.
NET POT SYSTEM: Unlike traditional nurseries, our company has adopted the net pot system in all clonal nurseries. This system significantly reduces transportation costs and makes handling much easier during field planting. With root trainers, a single person can carry only about 120 plants, whereas with net pot plants, up to 500 plants can be transported by one person at a time.
Another major advantage of net pot plants is the protection of the root system. In conventional methods such as root trainers or pro trays, roots often get damaged while removing the plants, and these damaged plants are still used for field planting. This leads to higher mortality rates after planting, causing financial losses to farmers due to replanting costs.
In contrast, net pot plants are planted directly along with the pot, ensuring that the root system remains intact. This not only improves planting efficiency but also enhances survival rates, helping achieve near 100% establishment and better overall plantation success.
