6.2. Planting Limited soil working before planting will improve the survival percentage or out planted seedlings. Severe drought conditions and eating away of the roots of seedlings by wild pigs affect the survival of the seedlings to a great extent in natural conditions. The method of planting with regard to hilly areas, plains and afforestation sites has been standardized. Such plantings are often susceptible to injuries by wind and frost conditions and also from insect pests. Being a slow-growing tree, it attains a diameter of about 9 cm in 10 years and about 30 cm at 65 years of growth. 6.3. Irrigation and intercultivation The tree is a hardy species. If protective irrigation is provided in critical moisture stress periods, it can grow and yield better. Control of undergrowth helps in survival of plant in fire stress conditions. 6.4 Tree Management The mixed forests in which B. serrata occurs are worked under selectioncum-improvement or under one of the coppice systems such as the coppice with standards, with a rotation of 40 years, or the coppices with the same rotation age. It produces root suckers, coppices and pollards well. The power to produce vegetative shoots depends upon the climate and edaphic factors. 6.5. Pests and diseases The back of the felled log has the property of maintaining its green and healthy condition for some months. During this period, there is little liability to insect attack; but when decay sets in, larvae of the beetle Atractocerus reversus bore the wood. The alternative is to debark the logs and free them from attack by Atractocerus, but the peeled logs are freely attacked by Platypus, and Xyleborus sp. While the surface is moist and by powder post beetle, when the surface has dried slightly. White spongy sap rot is known to attack trees in avenues and forests. The tree is also subject to attack by other fungi that cause spongy heart rot, mottled sap rot, spongy root and butt rot, and white fibrous rot. 7. Commercial Uses 19
Boswellia serrata is also known as Indian frankincense. When the tree trunk is tapped, a gummy oleoresin is exuded. A purified extract of this resin is used in modern herbal preparations. Boswellia was found to improve blood supply to the joints and restore integrity of vessels weakened by spasm. The bark is sweet, cooling and tonic is good in vitiated conditions of Pitta, Cough and Asthama. It is useful in fevers, urethrorrhea, diaphoresis, convulsions, chronic laryngitis, jaundice and arthritis. The salai guggal gum is used a diaphoretic, astringent, stimulant, expectorant, diuretic, emmenagogue, ecolic and antiseptic. It also has anti-bacterial and antifungal properties. The flowers and seeds of the tree are used in flok medicine. 7.2. Other uses Fodder Cattle do not readily browse it, although in India, it is considered a substitute fodder for buffaloes. Fuel The wood is a good fuel. Charcoal made from it is particularly favoured for iron smelting. Fibre B. serrata has recently com into prominence as a raw material for pulp paper and newsprint. Experiments show that writing and printing papers of suitable strength can be prepared when 25-40 % long-fibred bamboo pulp is mixed in the finish. The bark can also be used for cordage. Tiomber It is used in cheap furniture, ammunition boxes, mica boxes, packing cases, cement barrels, well construction, water pipes, matches, plywood and veneers. Gum or resin The tree yields a yellowish-green gum-oleoresin known as ‘salai guggal’ from wounds in the bark. This gum has an agreeable scent when burnt. A mature tree yields about 1-1.5 kg of gum a year. It is said to be a good 20
