Tree Plantation Bangladesh Plantation
Village and homestead forestry is traditional and the most
effective and cheap means for further forest covering to preserve ecological
balance and biodiversity. Unlike mangroves situated in particular places,
scattered plantings of trees across the country do yeoman's service. They also
pave the way for even distribution which is essential for a country and what is
most fitting is their somewhat leveling of benefits. They generally comprise
such major types as agro-forestry, stripe forestry, and homestead and woodland
plantations. The emphasis and discussion in some detail on agro-forestry are
inevitable. It is a practice of growing trees in association with agricultural
crops, pastures, etc. Such forestry demands assessment of land capability. The
site soil must be 2'-3' deep, loamy, well drained and roots for six months and
have organic matters such as dead leaves and roots on the soil as an indicator
of its fertility. Farmers need to know them and be urged upon, off and on, to
adopt and continue agro and stripe forestry. In these type, trees of commercial
importance should be preferred. Such trees are mahagoni teak, jam, eucalyptus,
mangium, koroi, jarul, shesoo, palm, ashok, mango, jack fruits, black berry and
many other fruit trees, They beautify our motherland with green wood. Trees are
valuable for maintaining ecological balance, bio-diversity and protecting
environment. Grow trees for clean air. They give us oxygen essential for us and
absorb carbon dioxide that we breathe out. They supply timber for furniture and
construction materials. Their leaves are taken by animals, we use their dry
leaves, branches, rots, etc. for fuels. Trees are immovable properties for
future generations. They will be another important source of income especially
for the rural people. They will reduce unemployment and alleviate poverty.
These are general value & usefulness of terrs.
But for some special reasons, fruits bearing trees ought to
receive per-eminence in plantation programs. Fruits are impressive providers of
calories, cardo-hydrates, minerals, proteins and vitamins needed for human
body. Many of the fruit like mango have medicinal elements. And fruits are said
to improve the immune system of the body. They are very good for avoidance of
excess fat and proteins taken from meals. They are excellent for old people as
they contain antioxidants that prevent the aging process. Apart from the
precious usefulness the indispensability of producing fruits become clear if we
take into account the facts that our malnutrition is highest in South Asia and we and we produce
about half of what's necessary for us. They are, moreover, essential
supplements of nutrient food for penury-stricken people. Medicinal herbs,
creepers, and trees are also required to be planed as people, for ages, of our
country and other countries, namely, China India
Most of the tree including most fruits trees can be grown easily

And we should call back to mind fair pledges of fruitful trees.
It is well to recognize their singularity "who has seen the wind none but
when the trees bow down their heads", Let our people keep in mind, 'What
an unfailing friend and how unswerving in loyalty at all times a tree is."
Let them be reminded of their common experience i.e., their shielding of us
even against the severity of storms, cyclones and tidal bore. Ibrahim Cowley
hails them with the following words: Hail, old, patrician trees so great and
good", our people are god-fearing. Let us tell them that trees have
prehistoric existence, reverence & sanctity in the universe. The reference
to the garden and the tree is there in the Quran and the Bible.
