142 PRACTICAL FOREST MANAGEMENT. 



(Regeneration area Periodic Blocks I and VI.) 

 " In the year following the main fellings, the area should be 

 ^ one over care ^ u ^y an< ^ the following works carried out to such 

 extent as may be required : 



{!) Removing marked trees left standing by purchasers. 



(2) Cutting back in groups, saplings and poles damaged in 



the fellings or badly developed. 



(3) Completing the thinning and cleaning in the sapling and 



pole groups retained as part of the future crop. 



(4) Cutting back all undesirable advance growth with a view 



to obtaining evenaged groups of regeneration and a 

 homogeneous crop. 



(5) Removing trees and miscellaneous undergrowth interfer- 



ing with the development of the future crop. 



(6) Lightening the shade of the miscellaneous trees in the 



middle canopy where this shade is still considered 

 necessary and removing it altogether where no longer 

 required. 



(7) Climber cutting. Climbers should, as far as possible, be 



poisoned to death once for all. 



(8) Burning the leaf layer in good seed years between the 



fall of the leaf and the ripening of the seed, in order 

 to stimulate regeneration where it is insufficient or 

 entirely wanting. 



(9) Areas in which the soil has been rendered too sfciff by 

 constant grazing or other causes to allow the seed to 

 germinate should be ploughed after burning the leaf 

 layer and if regeneration from seed-bearers is obvious- 

 ly impossible in such area, sal, sain, jaman, bakli or 



chir according to the condition of the locality should 



be sown. 

 .(10) Small blanks in the regeneration area should be burnt 



and sown with sa j , sain, jaman, balcli or chir, if 



necessary after ploughing or hoeing the ground.
