Executors ProfileExecutors ProfileDr. K. Srinivas.M.Sc (Ag) Ph.D.
• Experience – Worked for 16 years in various wings of Plantation Department at ITC Bhadrachalam - Research, Production, Extension, Marketing, Social Forestry, Farm Forestry, Captive Plantation etc.
• Presently running successfully Eucalyptus Clonal Production and Research center with an annual capacity of 50 lakh plants since 5 years.
• Consultant to TNPL and also Contractor for production of 10 Million Clonal plants of Eucalyptus and Casuarina under green house conditions
and turnkey projects in farm forestry and captive plantations. • Construction of Green houses and designing .
Major accomplishments at ITC
Selection of 89 outstanding, genetically superior, fast growing and disease resistant clones ofeucalypts and 10 clones of Casuarina.
Development and deployment of intra specific and inter specific hybrid clones of eucalypts.
Selection of Eucalyptus clones adaptable to saline / alkaline soils
Establishment of large number of clonal testing areas, clonal demonstration plots and genebanks of promising Eucalyptus clones.
Planting of clonal seed orchards with the most promising clones.
Management of large scale containerized nurseries and major farm forestry project andsupply of genetically superior clonal planting stock to farmers.
Production of clonal planting stock of 6 million saplings per year.
Providing genetically improved planting stocks matching the clones to site
Provide technical extension services from site selection till harvest.
Help farmers by arranging logging and transport of the plantation wood.
Farmers are now able to increase pulp wood productivity by 4-5 folds. Andsuccessfully able to earn profits from there waste lands
Major Achievements Major Achievements
• Development of High yielding disease resistant Site specific Eucalyptus clones.
• Development of Hybrid Eucalyptus Clones
• Volume tables for Eucalyptus Clonal Plantations for predicting yields.
• Developed package of practices for raising Eucalyptus nurseries and plantations.

Eucalyptus MycologyEucalyptus Mycology
Major losses due to fungal pathogens occurred where E.camaldulensis and E. tereticornis was grown in uniformand genetically susceptible stands. Fungal diseases are amajor problem in all growth stages.
During screening the diseases of Eucalyptus Clonalplants in open nursery & field plantation many fungalspecies have been isolated viz., Alternaria alternata,Cylindrocladium parvum, Pestalotiopsis versicolor,Corticium salmanicolor, Phytophthora cinomomi,Glomerella cingulata, Armelaria mellea, Capnodium sp.,Fusarium dimerum , Curvularia lunata, Chaetomellaraphigera, etc.
Two species, i.e. Eucalyptus camaldulensis and E.tereticornis , are more popular species among farmersas being sufficiently drought tolerant while also capableof withstanding, under irrigation, the very hot summertemperatures, suitable for a wide range of sites. Thespecies were, of course, also selected because they aresuitable for the manufacturing of quality paper.

• Ensuring the production of juvenile materials for mass multiplication.
• Regular pruning of the ramets to remove old branches and also to induce continuous production of juvenile shoots.
• Application of commercial fertilizer rich in nitrogen or organic fertilizer to the clones will induce the production of more vegetative parts in addition to maintaining the general health of the clones.
