Single Stem Structure:

The sapling should have a single, straight stem rather than multiple weak branches. A well-formed main stem ensures strong growth and proper heartwood formation in the future.

Ideal Age of the Sapling:

The best age for transplantation is 8 to 12 months old. At this stage, the plant is mature enough to establish itself in the field while still being young and adaptable to new environmental conditions.

Height Requirement:

A healthy sandalwood sapling should be at least 2 feet tall. This indicates strong vegetative growth and ensures that the plant has had enough time to develop before transplanting.

Leaf Condition as an Indicator of Health:

The leaves should be dark green, free from yellowing, spots, or wilting. Healthy leaves indicate good nutrient uptake, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor. Any signs of discoloration or fungal infections could mean underlying health issues.

Root Development:

The plant should have a well-developed root system with no signs of damage or rot. Strong roots ensure proper nutrient absorption and stability once transplanted into the field.

Stem Thickness for Strength:

A stem thickness of 6–10 mm is ideal for a sandalwood sapling. A sturdy stem ensures the plant can withstand environmental stresses and develop into a strong, mature tree.

Biochar Preparation Process:

Ingredients & Composition:

50% charcoal (biochar) – Acts as a carbon-rich soil amendment.

20% cow dung – Provides essential nutrients and enhances microbial activity.

20% poultry waste manure – Adds nitrogen and organic matter.

10% neem powder – Helps with pest control and improves soil health.

Mixing & Fermentation:

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add a small amount of jaggery daily for 15 days while mixing the compost to boost microbial growth.

Let the mixture dry in a half-sun, half-shade environment to retain beneficial microorganisms.

Soil Preparation:

Before planting, loosen the soil in the designated planting area to ensure better root penetration and aeration.

Biochar Application:

Mixing with Soil: Blend biochar with the top 6–12 inches of soil at the planting site. This improves soil aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability.

Pit Application: If planting in pits, mix biochar with the soil before filling the pit around the seedling. This helps in moisture retention and slow nutrient release.

Benefits for Sandalwood Trees:

Improves Soil Fertility: The combination of biochar, cow dung, poultry manure, and neem powder enhances nutrient availability.

Enhances Water Retention: Biochar holds moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.

Supports Root Growth: A healthier soil environment ensures strong and deep root systems.

Reduces Pests & Diseases: Neem powder naturally protects the plant from soil-borne pests.

Boosts Microbial Life: The jaggery fermentation process increases beneficial microbes that support plant growth.
