ABSTRACT

A core research team headed by Forest Ranger (Research) has taken up a field study, on well grown Sandal trees propagated by means of birds with its associated host tree species are found in periphery region of experimental plots of State Forest Research Institute at Kattankulathur Research Center, Tamil Nadu. Growth performance of sandal was found to be better with host trees Eucalyptus tereticornis and Pterocarpus santalinus. Seed dispersed avian frugivores were enlisted. Haustorial connections of the roots of Sandal with chosen host tree species were also documented. As the study area is under tight protection well grown sandal trees in the dense bushes were enumerated. It reveals that E. tereticornis has enhanced the growth of Sandal followed by P. santalinus than the other host tree species. Enlisted avian frugivores are considered as the most important seed dispersers in the protected study area.
