“…(Larson et al, 1989;Prain, 1963;Ahmed et al, 2008;Alam et al, 1996;Basak and Alam, 2013). After doing research and correlating the mortality of Dalbergia sissoo against environment and management parameters, Webb and Hossain (2005) and Asian Biodiversity Webnet (http://www. aseanbiodiversity.info/Abstract/51004215, 2013) suggested for changing of plantation species rather than practicing management strategies in Bangladesh and Nepal.…”

a b s t r a c tDuring recent years, the Government of Bangladesh, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), semigovernment organizations, private organizations and individuals have established a large number of plantations under different programs viz. social forestry, agro-forestry and avenue plantations with indigenous and exotic tree species without considering their habit and habitats. Along with the indigenous species like Albizia procera, Albizia lebbeck, Mangifera indica, Azadirachta indica, Gmelina arborea, Trewia nudiflora and Artocapus heterophyllus and many exotic species e.g. Swietenia macrophylla, Albizia saman, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Acacia auriculiformis, Melia sempervirens, Acacia mangium etc. have been planted randomly. With increasing trend of climate-induced floods, millions of trees have been dying due to floods and water-logging. The most affected species are Dalbergia sissoo, Albizia saman, Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia mangium and Artocarpus heterophyllus etc. This situation has caused severe impacts on socio-economic conditions of Bangladesh. The impacts involved a significant loss in terms of investment, biodiversity and afforestation program. Little investigations have been conducted to find out the causes of the deaths and also to find out the suitable adaptation practices to reduce impacts of floods on trees. This synthesis focused on the impacts of floods on plantations and also assessed the potential role of traditional forest management practices in addressing the effects flooding on forests in Bangladesh. The study added important information and revealed knowledge gaps on the causes of large forest deaths. It also provided recommendations for policy on the establishment of frequent floods resilient tree crop plantations.

“…However sandy soils do dry out very quickly and nutrients are easily washed through the soil, while clay soils are heavy, they are slow to warm in the spring, sticky when wet and very hard when dry, clay soils hold moisture and nutrients well and remain warm (James and Michael, 2009;Mazhar, Abd El-Aziz and Habba, 2010). However, it has been observed that in welldrained soils, even a few days of water logging due to poor drainage outlet may result in shisham mortality (Webb and Hossain, 2005). The intermediate properties of sandy clay soil may due to adequate soil moisture and nutrient content and formation of more carbohydrate and also new leaves and growth in the seedling, Table IV.…”

“…It is estimated that about 60% of the plantations in north and south, and 20% in the central and eastern regions are planted with D. sissoo in Bangladesh (Baksha and Basak 2000). The plants are mainly used in community forests, private forests, woodlot plantations, or around the homesteads in many districts of the country (Webb and Hossain 2005).…”

Effects of phosphorus and potassium addition on growth and nodulation of Dalbergia sissoo in the nursery

et al. 2007

A study was conducted to test the influence of different inorganic fertilizers (phosphorous and potassium) on the nodulation and growth of Dalbergia sissoo grown in the nursery. Before seeds sowing, different combinations of P, K fertilizers were incorporated with the nutrient-deficient natural forest soils, and then amended with cowdung (soil: cowdung = 3:1). Nodulation status (nodule number, shape, fresh weight, dry weight and color) in the roots and the plant growth parameters (length of shoot and root, collar diameter, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root) were recorded 60 days after seeds sowing. Nodulation status and growth of the plants varied significantly (P<0.05) in the soils amended with fertilizers in comparison to the control. The highest nodule number (62), fresh (0.50 g) and dry (0.07 g) weights were recorded with the dose of PK at the rate of 160 kg/hm 2 . Nodule shape and color also varied widely in different treatments. In case of plant growth parameters, shoot and root length, collar diameter, fresh and dry weight of the plants took on a significant difference (P<0.05) among various combination of fertilizers. From the study, it is revealed that PK at the rate of 160 kg/hm 2 fertilizer with soil and cowdung mixture (soil: cowdung = 3:1) is recommended for optimum growth and nodule formation of D. sissoo in degraded soils at a nursery level.
