paludosa, Rhizophora apiculata,Sonneratia apetala, Nypa fruiticans Aecjiceras<br />
carn.iculatum, Excoecaria aqallocha, Seeds are generally sown. Mostly Avicennia species<br />
are sown all over the area. Then seeds are available in Sundarban Tiger Project <strong>and</strong> 24-<br />
Parganas(S) Division.<br />
4. Seeds Collection: Ripe <strong>and</strong> Mature seeds are available in July to September. Only<br />
Avicennia Marina seeds are available in October. Excoecaria agallocha, Nypa fruiticans<br />
seeds are available in January. It is better to collected ripe <strong>and</strong> meture seeds. Seeds are<br />
collected with the help of fine fishing nets during high-tide & low-tide in Kotal Sometimes<br />
seeds are collected from inside the forest on the river bank during kotal.<br />
5. Stores of Seeds: It is better to procure these seeds & sow immediately as it is not possible<br />
to preserve these seeds for more than 7 to 15 days. However seeds may be preserved for a<br />
year through nursery.<br />
6. Planting: The planting of the various species should be done according to the following<br />
guidelines:<br />
a) Avicennia species are better panted the entire trench at a distance of 50 cm. <strong>and</strong> on<br />
the upper region which is not watered by tide-water. Ceriops species, Bruguiera spp,<br />
Xylocarpus spp, Excoecaria spp, Heritiera spp, phoenix spp, should be planted in<br />
trench at a distance of 1 mt. <strong>and</strong> in pit at a distance of 2 mt.<br />
b) On the lower region which is regularly watered by tide water everyday. Sonneratia<br />
apetala Aegiceras Carniculatum Rhizophora apiculata, Nypa fruitecans are planted<br />
in pits. It is better to plant them in Trench at a distance of 2 mt.<br />
c) If the region is under the lower tide <strong>and</strong> is muddy then three types of Avicennia spp<br />
<strong>and</strong> Sonneratia apetala may be planted for good plantation.<br />
d) Seeds are generally sown twice or thrice time in a year. There is a time when either<br />
all the seeds are not available or most seeds are carried away by tide.<br />
7. Nursery Seedling: This is to be done in the following way:<br />
a) Direct sowing is done in Nursery beds i.e. Sonneratia apetala.<br />
b) Polypots is filled by the earth in the bed on which Heritiera formes Bruguiera<br />
(Gymnorhiza & parviflora) Ceriops (dec<strong>and</strong>ra, tagal), Xylocarpus (Granaturn,<br />
Makongensis), Nypa fruiticans, Rhizophora apiculata etc. are sown.<br />
8. Use of seedlings: Seedlings are used in the following ways::<br />
a) Vacancies are filled in the plantation.
