6.4. Irrigation and inter cultivation During the dry period, the crop is irrigated at weekly or biweekly interval depending on the requirement. During the early crop growth, the interspaces may be planted with short duration vegetables and legumes. Weeding is done during the second week of September followed by the application of fertilizers. Manual weeding of basin is recommended once in four months. Soil should be worked after weeding and the soil around the basin is loosened. 6.5. Tree Management Initially Caesalpinia sappan grows straight but at about 205 m heights, the branches start to droop and entwine with branches of nearby trees to form thickets, generally free from undergrowth. After the tree is felled, the stump sprouts profusely within 2 weeks. For use as dyewood the tree is harvested every 6-8 years and for firewood every 3-4 years, when the trunk has attained 5-6 cm diameter. The tree is cut about 1 m above the ground to allow sprouts to grow from the stump. 6.6. Manures The crop should be given sufficient amount of FYM for good growth and harvest. One can apply 12-15 tons per acre. 6.7. Pests and diseases Major insects are pod borer and termites. No serious disease is noticed. Auricularia auricular-judea and Meliola caesalpiniae fungi sometimes attack the tree. 7. Harvesting and yield The seeds can be harvested right from he second year of planting, but the heart wood is ready only after 10-15 years from fifth year onwards, an yield of 2000-2500 kgs of pods may be obtained, which in turn may yield 200-250 kg seeds per hectare. The wood dye yield varies which is attributed to varietal and cultural factors. 8. Commrcial Uses 25
8.1. Mdicinal uses A decoction of the wood is a powerful emmenagogue and because of its tannic and gallic acids, is an astringent used in mild cases of dysentery and diarrhea.

It is one of the ingredients in a mixture prescribed for malaria. The dried heartwood is widely used in oriental medicine, particularly against inflammation. Seeds serve as a sedative. 8.2. Other uses Fuel The wood is used for firewood and its energy value is about 25000 kj/kg. Timber The tree is source of the commercial redwood or Brazilwood. Sapwood is white, Heartweed makes up to 90 % of the total volume. It is yellow or deep orange when fresh turning to dark red. The wood is straight grained with a fine to moderately fine texture, fairly heavy (600-780 kg/m 3 ), hard and lustrous. It is difficult to dry and susceptible to warping and collapse, but moderately easy to work; it takes high finish susceptible to warping and collapse, but moderately easy to work; it takes high finish & is tough and resistant to termite attack. It is used for inlaying work, cabinet making, violin bows and for walking sticks. Gum or resin The stem produces a gum. Tannin or dystuff: The heartweed yeields a valuable red crystalline dye, brazilin, used on cotton, silk and wool fabrics. Bakam gives bright red and violet shades, and with garcine produces a chocolate tint. Bark and pods yield similar dyes, pods contain 40 % tannin used in production of light leather goods. Roots give a yellow dye. Essential oil Leaves contain a pleasant smelling volatile oil. 26
