o Kamal Model:
This model has been evolved by Shri Kamal Kumar Pahade [Renowned industrialist & Hon VP of \u201cWE\u201d…We for Environment] and is projected as \u201cKamal Model \u201cof Tree Plantation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kamal Model has been proven to be successful in promoting tree growth and sustainability with minimal water requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kamal Model of Tree Plantation involves the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dig a pit of 1.5ft X 1.5ft X 1.5ft (depth can be 1ft for small trees).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Place a bottom layer of 12-15 coconut husks in the pit. Coconut husk retains water and reduces the need for frequent watering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Place the tree at the center of the pit and provide a standing bamboo stick for support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add a thin layer of compost or manure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Use two waste plastic water bottles (1 or 2 litres) for direct drip watering to the roots. Cut the bottom of the bottles and remove the cap. Invert the bottles and place them diagonally opposite in an east-west direction. This method can save up to 60% of water compared to direct surface watering.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
