Clonal Casuarina Nursery Serving Ongole

The coastal stretch of Prakasam district, from Ongole south through Singarayakonda and Ulavapadu, carries the light sandy soils on which Casuarina has long been grown along the Andhra shoreline. It is a crop the belt already knows; what a nursery adds is the planting material behind it.

Our Bitragunta outlet in Zarugumalli mandal is the contact point for farmers in this part of Prakasam district. Enquiries go through our office rather than a resident local contact, and the plants themselves are raised at our nurseries in Tamil Nadu, so it is worth starting the conversation well before your planting window.

Why Podhigai

Why Farmers Choose Podhigai Nursery for Clonal Casuarina Plants

Licensed clonal propagation

A licensed partner of the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), Coimbatore — a Government of India institute — since 2022, to propagate and sell clonal Casuarina and Eucalyptus commercially.

Net-pot planting material

One person can carry around 500 net pot plants against roughly 120 in root trainers, and the root system is not disturbed when the plant goes into the field.

Built for commercial pulp-wood

The nursery exists to supply plantation-scale growers, so quantities, clone choice and supply planning are routine rather than a special case.

Guidance to harvest

Beyond the plants, Podhigai works with farmers on plantation planning, farm management, plant-care products and pulp-wood harvesting.

Planting material

Clonal Plants Available in Ongole

Clonal Casuarina plants

Clonal Casuarina Plants

Suitable for farmers planning commercial pulp-wood plantations. The clones covered by our IFGTB licence are:

  • CH 1
  • CH 2
  • CH 3
  • CH 4
  • CH 5
  • CJ 9

Which clone suits a given field depends on soil, water availability and the rotation you are planning, so it is worth discussing before you order.

Clonal Eucalyptus plants

Clonal Eucalyptus Plants

Clone EC-6, propagated under the same IFGTB licence, where availability is confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Availability of both species varies through the season. Please check current stock for the Ongole outlet before planning your planting dates.

We do not publish yield or income guarantees. Growth and returns depend on soil, irrigation, spacing and management, and any figure quoted without knowing your field would be a guess.

Planning a plantation

Clonal Casuarina Plants for Farmers in Ongole

Clonal material is propagated from selected mother plants, so a block grows at a similar rate and comes to a cuttable size together. Against seedling-raised Casuarina, that evenness is what makes a plantation harvestable in a single operation.

Coastal soils and water

Casuarina handles the light, sandy soils common along this coast, which is a large part of why it is planted here. Salinity and water table vary from plot to plot, though, so describe your land when you enquire rather than relying on what works a few villages away.

Ordering from a distance

Plants for this outlet come from our Tamil Nadu nurseries at Manikandam and Manamthavizhnthaputhur. Agree the clone, the quantity and the delivery window ahead of the season; that is the part that goes wrong when it is left late.

Spacing and early care

Spacing follows the rotation you are growing for, and the plant count follows from the spacing and your acreage. Whatever you choose, the first two to three months after planting decide the plantation: water to the young plants, weeds kept off them. Net pot plants keep the root ball intact and are far easier to move in bulk — around 500 per person against roughly 120 in root trainers.

Looking ahead to harvest

Ask about harvesting arrangements at the point of ordering rather than years later, so you know what is available in your area before the crop is standing.

CH 1, CH 2, CH 3, CH 4, CH 5 and CJ 9, propagated under our IFGTB licence, with clonal Eucalyptus EC-6 where availability is confirmed. Which clones are in stock changes through the season.

Yes. The licence is from the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore, an institute of the Government of India, and covers commercial propagation and sale of the listed clones. It is not limited to Tamil Nadu.

Yes. Tell us the acreage and the month you plan to plant. Plants are raised at our Tamil Nadu nurseries and moved north, so a quantity order here needs more lead time than one placed closer to Trichy.

It depends on your spacing. Commercial pulp-wood plantings commonly run between roughly 1,800 and 2,700 plants per acre. Give us the acreage and the rotation you have in mind and we will work the number out with you.

This outlet does not have a separate local number. Call 8610465620 or 0431-4054111, or send a WhatsApp message to 8610465620 mentioning Ongole.
