Guidelines for Plantation in the Industrial Parks of Telangana

1. Background: Telangana ku Haritha Haaram

National Forest Policy of India envisages a minimum of 33% of the total geographical area
under forest / tree cover to maintain environmental stability and ecological balance; that are
vital for sustenance of all life-forms, human, animal and plants1.

Telangana Ku Haritha Haaram, a flagship programme of the Telangana Government

envisages to increase the present 24% tree cover in the State to 33% of the total
geographical area of the State. The thrust areas to achieve the above are two-fold; one,
initiatives in notified forest areas, and the other, initiatives in areas outside the notified forest
areas1.

The first objective is sought to be achieved by a multi-pronged approach of rejuvenating

degraded forests, ensuring more effective protection of forests against smuggling,
encroachment, fire, grazing and intensive soil and moisture conservation measures
following the watershed approach1.

Major fillip is sought to be given to Social Forestry for achieving the second objective. In the
areas outside the notified forest, massive planting activities will be taken up in areas such
as; road-side avenues, river and canal bank, barren hill, tank bunds and foreshore areas,
institutional premises, religious places, housing colonies, community lands, municipalities,
industrial parks, etc.

230 Crore seedlings are proposed to be planted in the State during the next three years. Out
of this, 130 crores seedlings are proposed to be planted outside the notified forest areas (10
crore within HMDA limits, and the remaining 120 Crores in rest of the State). It is also
proposed to plant, and rejuvenate the viable rootstock to achieve 100 crore plants inside the
forest areas by way of intensive protection of the forests.

Industries Department, Telangana’s INITIATIVE :

Under this programme, Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) has to
prepare a detailed micro-plan for undertaking plantation in each industrial park. For this
purpose, the Government of Telangana has proposed to supply 1 Crore samplings to TSIIC
and individual industries in the industrial parks of TSIIC to achieve the plantation target at
individual industry and also at industrial park level.

TSIIC (formerly part of APIIC) is established in the year 2014, after the AP state bifurcation,
for identifying and developing potential growth centres in the State fully equipped with
developed plots/sheds, roads, drainage, water, power and other infrastructural facilities.
There are about 148 industrial parks spread over 6 zones and 10 districts of Telangana.

2. Checklist for pre- planting, during planting and post planting phases
2.1 Pre-planting :
a. Survey of site and Identification of locations for planting.
b. Location- wise selection of suitable plants, also considering other criteria such as
soil, height and crown, etc. refer Table No 2
c. Identification of water source, in the surrounding area and planning for post planting
irrigation system for the plants.
d. Clearing of site of unwanted material, and wild / jungle growth.
e. Demarcation of planting area and digging tree pits of 3’X3’X3’ (1 m.X1 m.X1 m.) to
ensure aeration of the soil and space for healthy growth of roots to allow sufficient
aerated and porous soil area for the plant to settle down in the new place easily
without much shock. .However in rocky areas pits have to be bigger. Trees are
planted 5 to 15 m apart depending upon the space they are expected to occupy
when mature. The pits have to be dug 2 to 3 weeks earlier to planting, preferable
before the rainy season.
f. Transport and stacking of red soil, manure and pesticides.
g. The excavated soil should be kept near the pit in two heaps, one containing the top
soil up to 50 cm depth and another from the lower part of the pit .Both pit and the
excavated soil should remain exposed to weathering effects for 2 to 3 weeks. All
unwanted growth of algae, fungi gets eliminated, and heat generated from the maure
gets settled.)
h. Peg mark the pit and leave the pit for 15 days (Fallow period).

2.2 During planting :

a. Circular weeding up to two feet radius from the stem of the plant .(Refer to Fig.1)
b. Internal distribution of plants on site and planting. Soil working up to 2 feet radius -6
inches deep using crow bars around the plant.
c. Application of pest control items.
d. Refill mix:
i. 2:1:1:1 Ratio of dug out soil, red soil, farm yard manure, sand.
ii. Application of vermi compost or fertilisers-2kg/pit
iii. 20 grams/pit. FOLIDOL chemical for controlling white ants.
e. Identification of areas requiring tree guards, getting them made and fixing tree guard.
f. Staking or fixing the support sticks with “8” knot .(Refer to Fig .2)

Figure 1-Circular weeding Figure 2–“8” knot

g. After a few showers the soil of the pit settles down making a cavity. This cavity
should be filled up with more soil and planting be done in the center of the pit. Only
that much part of the sapling will go down which was under the soil in the nursery.
h. All side shoots should be removed from the seedling at the time of planting.
i. Watering the plant

2.3 Post Planting:

a. Watering the plant as required.
b. Protection of sapling from stray cattle is important in tree plantations so maintenance
of the tree guards is important.
c. Removal and re-fixing of tree guards to facilitate soil working whenever required.
depending upon the soil type where the planting is done.
d. Circular weeding regularly for many times - to a radius of 2 feet around the plant.
(Refer to Fig.3)
e. Application of chemicals, fertilizers/neem cake etc. regularly.
f. Cutting back of coppice growth and removal of weeds in the plantation area. (Refer
to Fig.4)
g. Given proper attention, the sapling will reach a height of nearly 2-3 m in the first year
itself depending on tree species and thus its crown will rise beyond the reach of the
cattle. The fence, however, should not be dismantled. It should be allowed to remain
for three years or more till the stem is thick enough to stand any damage.
h. To make a plant tall and stately, proper pruning of branches should be done from
early stage of growth. Pruning of branches lower than 6 feet 6 inches.(Refer to Fig.5)
i. Other such shoots that would develop afterwards from the elongated stem should be
cut away for several years till the contemplated height of the stem is reached
.Pruning of unwanted growth will help in utilization of nutrients (micro and macro)
and water for better growth of remaining parts, thereby making them strong and
healthy.
j. Sometime the main stem bifurcates before reaching the required height. In such
case the weaker branch should be removed; if both are
of equal vigour, the one towards the sun should be
retained.
k. While cutting a branch no stump should be left. The cut
surface must be painted with coal tar or a fungicide to
avoid attack of diseases.

l. Nitrogen at the rate of 20 g per plant in the form of ammonium sulphate urea or other
nitrogenous fertilizer should be applied during the first irrigation inside the basin.
m. The tree should be kept free from weeds for at least two years to avoid competition
and promote growth.
n. When the plant attains a height of 4 to 5 m, not much care except pruning is needed.

3. Identification of areas for plantation

Major areas for plantation in industrial areas are as follows:

A. Street plantation
A.1 36 m. and more wide roads.

4. Guidelines for plantation in the identified areas.

4.1 Street plantation

4.1.1 Guidelines : Avenue plantation-general concerns

1. Clash between avenue trees and an overhead electric line is an omnipresent

problem. To allow proper growth of trees, and to avoid periodic pruning, either the
electric supply lines should go underground or overhead electric lines should be
insulated. ( eg : Bauhinia species, lagerstroemia species)

2. Street lighting:

a. Effectiveness of street lighting is reduced because of the position and height

of the street light in relation to that of the trees.

b. Trees and street light positions should be staggered. On the other hand,
street lighting affects the night life of trees and ultimately effects its life cycle.
In order to restore night life to trees, preferably in residential areas, lighting
can be at low level.

3. Underground services cable, drainage and storm water systems: care should be
taken in plant species selection and planting distances from underground lines so
that the root system of plant do not clog drains and do not damage the underground
infrastructure and service lines.

4. Most of the avenue planting happens between the property line and road edge.
There is hardly any soil area left over for aeration resulting in poor development of
root zone. Trees fall down for the whirl winds effect and sudden outburst of rain and
disrupt urban life pattern

5. Possibility of providing appropriate soil area around tree shall be considered.

6. Using trees for commercial purposes like nailing of name plates, advertisement
boards etc. shall be avoided.

7. Where road side development is still to come, plan for multiple rows of trees on
either side to protect it from uprooting by sudden gush of winds and outburst of rains.

8. Except in situations where specific function is expected, trees should be planted at a

distance where only 10% of the crown is generally overlapped.(crown width should
be considered at the trees mature stage)

Guidelines for Plantation in the Industrial Parks of Telangana

4.1.2 Criteria for selection of plant material for roads/avenue planting

1. Type (ever green or deciduous)

2. Growth rate and age of vegetation.
3. Physical character of the tree like form, (fastegiate form, broad canopy,
spreading canopy, etc.)

Figure.6 : Physical form of the tree

4. Ultimate height and spread of tree,
5. Crown clearance from ground, etc
6. Flowering season, color, flower density.
7. Leaf size, leaf texture, leaf, and foliage color, foliage density and distribution.

4.1.3 Note on clearance for planting trees

For tree planting, the clearances required may be noted as::

4.2 Open spaces plantation

4.2.1 Guidelines : Open spaces plantation -general concerns

Open space planting can happen in two categories.

1. Open space boundary planting

2. Open space block planting.

General concerns.

1. Plantation in unprotected open spaces requires fencing or tree guards.

2. Boundary can have a minimum of 3 rows where possible, with height
hierarchy, to withstand strong winds.
3. Species variation can be maintained to avoid monoculture and improve
resilience and diversity.

4.2.2 Criteria for selection of plant material for open space planting

1. Preference for local and adopted species,

2. Species that have thorns like Prosopis species
3. Species that attract birds and insects, like Acacia nilotica
4. Species that have fruiting like Mangifera indica
5. Species with better sustainability can have preference.
6. Species with low visual appeal, insignificant flowering lanky form and lactation
can also be preferred for open space block planting.

Guidelines for Plantation in the Industrial Parks of Telangana

4.3 Unit (individual industry) level plantation

4.3.1 Guidelines : Unit plantation -general concerns

1. Unit boundary plantation should have similar character to that of the front
boundary and inside plantations to establish homogeneity in the total unit area.
2. Plantations should be at a distance of minimum of 3m. From boundary wall and
buildings so that the roots do not damage the structures.
3. Trees that display a stark contrast to the avenue and opposite side unit planting
can be avoided.
4. On the front side of the unit boundary, trees with similar Form, growth rate,
habit and foliage density can be preferred.

4.3.2 Selection criteria unit/industry boundary

For three sides of the industrial plot excepting the front side:

1. Plants that are sturdy and having defined form to delineate the edge as a green
edge.
2. That easily associate with other species of plants. like Peltophorum
pterocarpum and Cassia siamia.
3. That can survive in the pollution caused by the industry.
4. Plants that can sustain medium drought conditions and medium soil nutrient
availability (usually local species and adapted –naturalized species.)
5. That adds to the homogeneity of green cover continuity of the industry and the
total area in totality.

4.3.3 At entry and exits-guidelines

Plants that :
1. Have very less leaf fall, Alstonia scholaris.
2. Have very strong visual effect with vibrant flowering in terms of color and flower
density,
3. Provide shade throughout the year,
4. Reduce visuals glare.
5. Provide aesthetic quality to space and intellectual stimulation that elevates
human spirits.
6. Complements the architectural forms
7. Establishes visual comfort areas.
8. Forms overhead and ground space definition.
9. Induce scale.
10. Forms a framing element, gives foreground and backdrop effect.
11. Reduce visual pollution.
12. Introduces ornamental effect.

4.4 : Water body plantation

4.4.1 Guidelines : Water body -general concerns

1. Trees having character to frame views and enhance visual quality.

2. Entire shore area need not be planted considering the scenic value of the
place.
3. Plant height hierarchy can be maintained keeping the smallest height plant
nearer to the shore.
4. Planting in feeder nalas and monsoon time intermittent nalas can be avoided.

4.4.2 Criteria for selection of plant material for water body planting
Following types of species can be considered for water body shore planting

1. Species that survive partial submergence like Acacia suma…

2. Trees that can provide habitat for avi fauna population.
3. Trees with drooping character like weeping willow, that visually associate with
water.
4. Trees with less leaf fall
5. Trees that sustain high moisture levels.
6. Trees that have characteristics of mangrove species.

7. Planting and climate change adaptation : Reducing urban heat island effects

Areas in and around cities are generally warmer than comparable rural areas.Urban
development reduces vegetative cover and adds heat absorbing surfaces such as
rooftops, buildings, and paving.Heat is also added from other sources in cities such as
fuel combustion and air conditioning units.This result is an urban heat island.

How do heat islands form –

The primary reasons

Lack of Vegetation Urban surfaces Urban geometry

• Shade • Thermal properties • Dimensions and shape
• Moisture • Land cover of buildings

One of the most fundamental methods of reducing urban heat islands effects is to
increase the tree cover. This shades the ground, pavements, roads and building
surfaces, which otherwise usually absorb the solar radiation and result in increased
surface temperatures and re-radiation of long wave heat at the pedestrian level.
The other benefit of increasing the tree cover is increased evaporative cooling.

Vegetation intercepts radiation and produces shade that also contributes to reduce
urban heat trapping. Trees and vegetation provide shade which helps lower surface
temperatures. They also release water to the air (evapotranspiration), which helps cool
the area.

8. Integration of storm water management with plantation

a. Stormwater runoff is rainfall that flows over the ground surface. It is created when rain
falls on roads, driveways, parking lots, rooftops and other paved surfaces that do not
allow water to soak into the ground Stormwater runoff also picks up and carries with it
many different pollutants .Managing the quantity and quality of stormwater is termed,
"Stormwater Management."
b. Preserving undisturbed vegetative cover during land development is a much more cost
effective approach than destroying these features and having to construct new
stormwater management practices to replace the functions they originally provided.
Trees and forests reduce stormwater runoff by capturing and storing rainfall in the
canopy and releasing water into the atmosphere through evapotranspiration.

c. Increase of green
cover and its
importance in storm
water management.

Tree roots and leaf litter create The presence of trees also helps Trees and forests reduce
soil conditions that promote the to slow down and temporarily pollutants by taking up nutrients
infiltration of rainwater into the store runoff, which further and other pollutants from soils
soil. This helps to replenish our promotes infiltration, and and water through their roots,
groundwater supply and maintain decreases flooding and erosion and by transforming pollutants

d. In addition to this the other methods of storm water management includes :

• Maximize permeability introduction of permeable hard surfaces wherever
possible
• Minimize offsite discharge by introducing routing to local depressions, rain
water harvesting pits and areas.
• Use storm water channels as design elements
and increase infiltration by making bio swales
