Indian with just 2.5. per cent of the land area of the planet, has to support 15 per cent of the world's human population and equally large population of livestokc. The forest of the coutry are under intense biotic pressure leading to degradation of forest resources. The supply of industrial and domestic wood from forest areas has been dwinding. The average annual increment of forests in India is very low (0.7m/ha/year compared to the world average of 2.1.m/ha/year) to meet the much needed demands of fuel wood, tiber, and aw material for industries in large quantities. We must therefore have to pay more attention to production forestry, which involves raising plantations of fast growing species under short rotation intensive culture management.
