Abstract EN
Restoration of a highly degraded forest, which had lost its natural capacity for regeneration, was attempted in the Nanmangalam Reserve Forest in Eastern Ghats of India.
In field experiment, 12 native tree species were planted.
The restoration included inoculation with a consortium of 5 native plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), with the addition of small amounts of compost and a chemical fertilizer (NPK).
The experimental fields were maintained for 1080 days.
The growth and biomass varied depending on the plant species.
All native plants responded well to the supplementation with the native PGPB.
The plants such as Pongamia pinnata, Tamarindus indica, Gmelina arborea, Wrightia tinctoria, Syzygium cumini, Albizia lebbeck, Terminalia bellirica, and Azadirachta indica performed well in the native soil.
This study demonstrated, by using native trees and PGPB, a possibility to restore the degraded forest.
