What happens when your primary host has become secondary host and dies after 2 years

[00:00:00]Yeah.

[00:00:01]The things because of wrong spacing.

[00:00:03]>> Mhm.

[00:00:04]>> Actually, when you do sus- Sesbania as a secondary host, the ideal recommend space is at least 2.5 to 3 ft distance.

[00:00:13]>> Mhm.

[00:00:13]>> Okay?

[00:00:14]>> Mhm.

[00:00:14]>> So, in that in that condition, both sandalwood also grow straight and this other >> this particular case, Sesbania is a primary host, not the secondary host.

[00:00:24]>> I think would I mean some red gram given or I don't know.

[00:00:27]>> Mhm.

[00:00:28]>> But see, whether it is primary secondary it will be now considered secondary host.

[00:00:32]>> Mhm.

[00:00:32]>> Mhm.

[00:00:33]Till 1 year supporting alike the primary host.

[00:00:35]>> Mhm.

[00:00:35]>> Mhm.

[00:00:36]Second to sixth year, that is the secondary host.

[00:00:38]>> Mhm.

[00:00:39]>> So, now the problem of pruning, we had a compulsion to do pruning because it is close spacing.

[00:00:44]>> Mhm.

[00:00:45]>> And this fellow generally dominate.

[00:00:47]>> Mhm.

[00:00:47]>> That's what I got it been 2.5 ft.

[00:00:49]>> Mhm.

[00:00:50]>> It would have been a trouble for the sandalwood.

[00:00:52]>> Mhm.

[00:00:53]>> Since it is very closer and it get the dominated, people start I mean owner would have started pruning it.

[00:00:58]>> Yeah.

[00:00:58]>> Now, almost dead.

[00:01:00]>> Mhm.

[00:01:00]>> Mhm. This is also one example.

[00:01:02]>> Mhm.

[00:01:03]>> When a plant faces severe pruning, leads to death of the plant.

[00:01:09]Not only sandalwood, not only teak, any tree excessive pruning leads to death of the >> In this case, the pruning has only been done on the host plant.

[00:01:17]>> Host plants. So, pruning severe pruning regular pruning led to death of the Sesbania.

[00:01:21]>> Mhm.

[00:01:22]>> Now, my only worry is only worry is since you since they are very closely associated with I mean >> Mhm.

[00:01:30]>> Sandalwood have been preferred to have a connection with Sesbania grandiflora >> Mhm.

[00:01:34]>> because it is a nitrogen fixing plant.

[00:01:36]>> Mhm.

[00:01:37]>> Now, it is slowly drying.

[00:01:38]>> Mhm.

[00:01:38]>> Now, it will affect the root of the >> Mhm. sandalwood >> sandalwood also.

[00:01:42]>> Mhm.

[00:01:42]>> Okay?

[00:01:43]>> Mhm.

[00:01:43]>> So, to avoid that, >> Mhm.

[00:01:45]>> it is not advisable to uproot this plant.

[00:01:48]>> Mhm.

[00:01:49]>> As long as this plant is there, let it be there >> Mhm.

[00:01:52]>> till we develop a proper >> Mhm.

[00:01:54]>> permanent host.

[00:01:55]>> Okay.

[00:01:56]>> Mhm.

[00:01:57]>> So, what permanent host do you suggest in this case?

[00:01:58]>> Yeah, the here spacing is very less and for the spacing and see the growth of the sandalwood in this area.

[00:02:09]I think casuarina is the best permanent >> Casuarina permanent host. Okay.

[00:02:13]Casuarina can be planted in the middle.

[00:02:15]>> Middle, middle, yes, yes.

[00:02:16]>> Okay.

[00:02:18]>> The advantage of casuarina is that also goes straight.

[00:02:20]So it won't >> But in the middle cinnamon has been given.

[00:02:24]>> Cinnamon, as I said if you see now you see cinnamons are not growing properly because most of the plants like this article of crops they are sunlight loving.

[00:02:34]So naturally this sandal dominate they won't get the proper sunlight. You know I am not seeing any cinnamon plant which is healthy.

[00:02:41]>> Yes, correct.

[00:02:41]>> That's what I always recommend grow sandalwood with any other tree species other than going with the fruit tree species or >> So don't mix with the fruits.

[00:02:50]>> See that mixing is It is labor intensive.

[00:02:55]Management problem and outcome also very less.

[00:03:01]>> So the summary is you cannot uproot this number one.

[00:03:06]>> Yes.

[00:03:07]>> Number two you cannot even cut it to 1/3 of it.

[00:03:10]>> Yes because when you cut it naturally it will shake. When you shake the root connected with the >> No without shaking can we cut even some portion of this tree?

[00:03:19]>> No no the thing is no way now it is almost dead. So if you cut has no way help the plant because already they emerged out.

[00:03:29]Sandal emerged out. Even this much support will they will get the wind break. Here is the open area.

[00:03:35]>> So that means >> Yes, some >> This is just some protection is there.

[00:03:38]>> Yes, yes.

[00:03:39]>> So it's better to keep it as long as >> Host of plants not only providing extra nutrients they also serve as a wind breaker.

[00:03:49]>> Okay.

[00:03:50]>> That advantage now it is having.

[00:03:51]>> [clears throat] >> That advantage now it is having. Mhm.
