Agroforestry Tree Plantation

With high summer temperatures and a delayed monsoon this year, maintaining adequate moisture for the saplings has been a challenge for farmers. Drip irrigation has helped deliver water directly to the root zone, supporting sapling survival while using water more efficiently during

Women play an important role in plantation activities, from transporting saplings to supporting planting and aftercare. Their participation helps ensure that planting activities are carried out efficiently!

Once the saplings reach the field, they are carefully transferred to the plantation spots. Proper handling during this stage helps protect the roots and ensures smooth planting across the site.

Every plantation begins with pit digging, which helps create the right conditions for saplings to establish. Properly prepared pits support root growth, improve water retention, and increase the chances of healthy tree development.

In November, 1,730 saplings were planted at Village Kanhur. Species planted at the field are Santalum album, Bambusa bambos, Tamarindus indica, Mangifera indica, Citrus limon.

The sloping terrain and uneven land conditions required additional effort for sapling movement and pit

We promote the use of low-cost bio-fertilizer to naturally improve soil health in our agroforestry plots. It boosts microbial activity, supports early plant growth, and reduces reliance on chemicals. By encouraging simple, sustainable practices like this, we help farmers strengthen

700 trees have been successfully planted at Dhamari village, Pune, under our Agroforestry Tree Plantation project. The species, Annona squamosa (350) and Tamarindus indica (350), were carefully chosen by the farm owner to maximise environmental and economic benefits.
