It has a short, usually crooked bole that can be up to 200cm in diameter. Trees can be evergreen in humid climates. A multipurpose tree, it is often cultivated for its many uses. It is particularly valued for its timber, but also supplies food, medicines and a gum. It is one of the most commonly planted avenue and park trees in the tropics and is also commonly grown as a shade tree for other crops. Edible Uses Children eat the pods, which contain a brownish, sticky, liquorice-like, sweet-flavoured pulp. A lemon-like fruit drink is also made from the pulp. The pods are more or less straight with conspicuously thickened edges, 12 - 20cm long, 1 - 2cm wide and 1.2cm thick. The tree yields a gum of inferior quality which could be used as a poor man's substitute for gum arabic. Medicinal A decoction of the inner bark and fresh leaves is used as a treatment for diarrhoea. A brew of small sections of the bark is taken to treat stomach-ache. A crude aqueous or alcoholic extract of the leaves is observed to have an inhibiting effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The alkaloid fraction of the leaves is effective on the CNS and PNS. An infusion of the leaves is used as a laxative. The fruit decoction is used as a CNS-sedative.

Uses The pongam tree is cultivated for two purposes: (1) as an ornamental in gardens and along avenues and roadsides, for its fragrant Wisteria-like flowers, and (2) as a host plant for lac insects. It is appreciated as an ornamental throughout coastal India and all of Polynesia. Well-decomposed flowers are used by gardeners as compost for plants requiring rich nutrients. In the Philippines the bark is used for making strings and ropes. The bark also yields a black gum that is used to treat wounds caused by poisonous fish. In wet areas of the tropics the leaves serve as green manure and as fodder. The black malodorous roots contain a potent fish-stupefying principle. In primitive areas of Malaysia and India root extracts are applied to abscesses; other plant parts, especially crushed seeds and leaves are regarded as having antiseptic properties. The seeds contain pongam oil, a bitter, red brown, thick, non-drying, nonedible oil, 27–36% by weight, which is used for tanning leather, soap, as a liniment to treat scabies, herpes, and rheumatism and as an illuminating oil (Burkill, 1966). Also used for lubrication and indigenous medicine. Pongam oil showed inhibitory effects on Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus pulilus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas mangiferae, Salmonella typhi, Sarcina lutea, Staphylococcus albus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Xanthomonas campestris, but did not inhibit Shigella sp. (Chaurasia and Jain, 1978). The oil has a high content of triglycerides, and its disagreeable taste and odor are due to bitter flavonoid constituents, pongamiin and karanjin. The wood is yellowish white, coarse, hard, and beautifully grained, but is not durable. Use of the wood is limited to cabinetmaking, cart wheels, posts, and fuel (Allen and Allen, 1981). Both the oil and residues are toxic. Still the presscake is described as a "useful poultry feed." Seeds are used to poison fish. Still it is recommended as a shade tree for pastures and windbreak for tea. The leaves are said to be a valuable lactagogue fodder, especially in arid regions. It is sometimes intercropped with pasture, the pasture grasses said to grow well in its shade (NAS, 1980a). Dried pongam leaves are used in stored grains to repel insects. Leaves often plowed green manure, thought to reduce nematode infestations. Its into ground as spreading roots make it valuable for checking erosion and stabilizing dunes. Twigs are used as a chewstick for cleaning the teeth. The ash of the wood is used in dyeing. Yields and Economics Trees of ten reach adult height in 4 or 5 years, bearing at the age of 4–7 years. A single tree is said to yield 9–90 kg seed per tree, indicating a yield potential of 900––9000 kg seed/ha, 25% of which might be rendered as oil (assuming 100 trees/ha). In general, Indian mills extract 24–27.5% oil, village crushers, 18–22% oil.

The majority of the world's wood supply is sourced from native forests, which are not sustainably managed. Even though large areas of plantations have been established in many countries, the rate of planting has been insufficient to meet current and projected future demand. As the present scenario the Timber Demand in India is at very high hence, the need of commercial agro forestry is ever increasing. Melia Dubia is one of the fastest growing species among timber varieties on this planet. Melia Dubia originates from the Meliaceae family and is an indigenous species to India. These trees can be cultivated in all types of soil and requires less management practices. The total area of industrial plantations suitable for commercial wood production globally is around 94 million hectares, of which over 70% is softwood. Plantation grown wood is estimated to account for 3% of the world's forest resources. Plantation wood supplies 10% of fuel wood and around a third of industrial wood used today. The significance of environmental degradation issues and effects of climate change it is need of the hour to promote agro forestry towards sustainable development. The economic benefits of timber investments will also provide relatively high returns for the low risk they carry. The Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics (ABARE) research report “Global Outlook for Plantations 1999” forecasts that "Plantations are expected to meet 35% of projected global demand for industrial wood by 2000, rising to 44% by 2020 and 46% by 2040. This level of production would require a significant increase in plantation area and the substantial gains possible through plantation productivity in all the regions globally." Wood is the most preferred material for various end uses ranging from fuel wood to composite products. Thus wood can be replaced by wood itself which is considered an energy efficient material. The emphasis is to shift the source from natural forests to plantation timbers. The choice of species for different end uses is also changing from durable primary conventional timber species to short-rotation, fast-growing plantation species. Large number of wood based industries such as sawn wood and composite panel product manufacturers presently face acute shortage of raw materials and the supply–demand gaps are increasing day by day in alarming proportions. The industrial demand for wood in Round wood equivalents in India is predicted to increase from 74 million m3 in the year 2005 to 153 million m3 in the year 2020 and side by side it is estimated that more than 50 percent of the total wood supply in the country will come from non-forest sources. There are several options available to bridge the gap such as import of timber which is purely a short-term measure and generating tree resources within the country which could be a better idea as a long-term measure in sustainability terms, as well as a source of carbon stocking which is important from the ecological and environmental viewpoints. Importance of Melia Dubia Melia Dubia is a promising tree highly suitable for agro forestry or farm forestry with a life cycle of 8 to 12 years is gaining economic importance both in domestic and global markets. It is getting popularized among farmers due to its characteristics such as fast growth, stem straightness without much of branches, less shade effect and for not susceptible to pest and insect attacks. The commercial importance for agro forestry plantations is increasing due to various reasons as explained above and certain tree varieties like Melia Dubia is getting popularized because it fetches assured income with buyback arrangements and requires low maintenance. In addition, these trees also contribute in carbon sequestration and mitigation of climate change impacts. But considering the general characteristics of the fast growing tree species generally planted by the farmers, technology input is very much essential to make quality products. Through effective research it is possible to broaden the market of Melia Dubia plantation products into specialty products i.e. development of higher grade of plywood like Decorative/Marine/Shuttering grade Plywood, MDF, Particle Board, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Compreg etc. Melia Dubia will grow up to 40 feet within two years of planting and has the potential of yielding up to 40 tons of biomass on an average per acre per annum of 10 year old plantation. The minimum cultivation period is six years and it can be allowed up to 8 years for good economic value. In addition to the commercial importance these trees helps in preventing temperature rise and checking gas emission into the atmosphere as the trees are naturally endowed to absorb maximum CO2. Its high calorific value makes it a viable source of feedstock for biomass power plants. In view of the ever increasing timber demand for various commercial purposes and shortage in natural resources the importance for the fast growing Melia Dubia is gaining steadily. Uses The wood is used for packing cases, match box sticks, photo frames, pencils ( Nataraj pencil company using the melia dubia wood) mini furniture like stools, benches, wooden tables, interior decoration, window doors, wooden racks & packing industries, musical instruments, tea powder boxes, cigar boxes, building purposes, ceiling planks agricultural implements, splints and kattamarans. In Srilanka, it is employed for outriggers of boats. It is suitable for musical instruments, tea boxes and the most importantly in making plywood as the wood is anti-termite by itself. The wood of Melia dubia is in high demand in Veneer, Plywood, Pulp, Match stick and Packing case industry. There is a high demand-supply gap in these industries. Each tree of appropriate girth can fetch up to Rs.4000 to 5000/- per tree over a 6-7 year period if sold as veneer. It is a good secondary timber and the most preferred species for plywood industry. Thus, the species has a ready and assured market due to its multipurpose utilities. The species is also highly adaptable. The species is in high demand by the plywood industries. The wood is used as dual purpose which has a medicinal value and also used for fodder. It plays a vital role in multi farming of sheep, goat & dairy farming. Melia Dubia has been tested positive for pulpwood and recorded a pulp yield of 50.3%. The various parts of Melia Dubia (Meliaceae) plant was observed to be used by the local tribes of Nilgiris for various infections. Literature reveals that the bitter tasted fruits of Melia Dubia is considered to be important in colic and skin diseases and also as anthelmintic. It gives positive tests with alkaloid reagents. Leaves and seeds of this plant were reported to possess two tetranotriterpenoids, compositin and compositolide.

Cultivation Details Three main climates are suitable for commercial citrus production - tropical climates, subtropical with winter rain such as in the Mediterranean and semitropical with summer rainfall as found in Florida and southern Brazil. Limes grow at elevations up to 2,200 metres. The optimal temperatures for their cultivation range between 25 - 30°c, with the coldest month having an average minimum of at least 15°c. Growth generally ceases below 13°c and above 38°c. They are most competitive in areas that receive from about 700 to 1,000 mm of mean annual precipitation. If there are dry periods of more than three months, then irrigation will be necessary. Prefers a deep, well-drained but moisture-retentive loamy soil in full sun. The tree is quite drought-resistant. Prefers a pH in the range 6 - 6.5, tolerating 4.8 - 8.3. Plants can flower and produce fruit all year round. Layered trees can produce fruit in the second year after planting, but growers aim at maximum growth to get a more substantial crop in the third year. The average yield of lime in Thailand during the 1988/1989 season was 2,400 kg/ha. In India trees are expected to bear 600 - 1,500 fruits per year. A high incidence of bacterial canker is a limiting factor for growing limes in the wet tropics. Limes hybridize freely with other Citrus species, and many hybrids are known, e.g. Lemonimes (lime x lemon), Limequats (lime x kumquat). Limes are divided horticulturally into acid and sweet limes.
