Many Indian hardwood species benefit from pre-sowing treatment — soaking for 12–24 hours, mechanical scarification, or brief hot water treatment to break seed coat dormancy. Polybag nursery raising is the standard method for most plantation species in India. Field transplanting is best timed to coincide with the onset of the monsoon for maximum survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-family:var(--font-serif);font-size:15px;font-weight:400;color:var(--forest);margin:0 0 6px;letter-spacing:0.02em\"\u003eUse in India\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:rgba(26,26,20,0.72);margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eIndia's National Afforestation Programme, state forest departments, and private agroforestry initiatives use millions of tree seedlings annually for reforestation, social forestry, and watershed restoration.
