The technique of plant tissue culture, i.e., culturing plant cells or tissues in artificial medium supplemented with required nutrients, has many applications in efficient clonal propagation (true to the type or similar) which may be difficult via conventional breeding methods. https://www.santhionlineplants.com/

1. tissue culture teak

2. Tissue Culture Teak
• The teak plants are large tree species that can
attain a height of about 30-35 meters tall.
• It has a simple tap root system those are resistant
to winds.
• Leaves are simple ovate-elliptic measures about
15-45 cm long.
• Tissue culture teak plants have superior-quality
wood.

3. • Tissue culture teak plants are huge trees with
bumper yield.
• And also tissue culture teak woods have higher
demand in both national & international supply.

4. • This plant grows as tropical hardwood trees.
• Adaptable to countries such as India, Thailand,
Myanmar & Indonesia.
• Trees grow up to the height of 150-160 feet tall &
live for more than 100 years.
Teak tree

5. Steps followed for Tissue Culture Teak plants
• Explant: Young juvenile, nodal & apical Meristem.
• Initiation: Collected Explants are surface
sterilization & those plantlets are inoculated in
prepared media.

6. shooting
• Well-developed shoot formation is seen after 2-4
months of initiation.

7. Multiplication
Profused shoots are establish after 4 months of
shooting, those are transferred to the freshly prepared
media.

8. rooting
A well-developed root formation is seen on the
12th month. Followed by primary & secondary
hardening.

9. Land area
• Land areas for teak plantations to be plain or
slightly sloping with good drainage.
• Plough the land area thoroughly.
• Dig the pit size of 45*45cm sizes. The best
time for planting this teak is during spring.
• Apply a handful of organic fertilizer or manure
at the time of planting.

10. Climate & Rainfall
• This plant requires a fairly warm & moist
tropical climate & grows well in annual rainfall
of about >3000 mm.
• For planting best time is monsoon season
after the first shower.

11. Debudding & Thinning
• Initially debudding done 3 years after planting.
• This operation is followed by thinning 7-10 years
after planting both practises are done to improve
the quality timber.

12. Soil
• This timber plant prefers to grow well in deep
fertile,well-drained soil of acidic pH less than
6.5.
• Grows best in alluvial sandy soils.

13. irrigation
Drip irrigation is suitable to this plants for
water & nutrients supplementation.

14. Sunlight
Requires direct full light of about 12 hours.

15. Fertilize
r
Application of any organic fertilizer given
monthly once at earlier stage alone.

16. Harvest
For higher market demand tectona grandis timber harvested
after 10 years after planting.

17. Benefits
 Plants raised from the superior mother plant.
 Genetically uniform plants.
 Disease-free planting material.
 Uniform growth & development.
