Abstract


Associated with the urgent need for increasing our food production, is also the need for exploring new sources of green leaf manures for appling to paddy fields. The problem is easily solved in districts where rank vegetation or forests are within an easy reach of paddy fields, but the chief paddy- growing regions like the deltaic areas of Godavari and Tanjore do not have, as a rule, any forest lands in the vicinity of paddy fields. For such areas, a quick growing large leaved inedible shrub that can also stand heavy pruning would be a very great boon.
