About this variety

C-413 is a clonal Eucalyptus selection released and recommended by Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, for commercial farm-forestry planting across Punjab's agro-climatic zones. Propagated as rooted cuttings or tissue-culture plantlets and planted in nursery polybags at the onset of the monsoon, it gives straight, uniform growth and reliable pulpwood yield under the state's canal-irrigated conditions, and is one of the two clones (alongside C-2045) most commonly recommended to Punjab farmers planting eucalyptus as a pulpwood or plywood-core block.

Sowing & cultivation

  • Spacing3 x 2 m or 2 x 2 m (about 600-750 plants/acre) for a dense pulpwood block; 4 x 4 m for pole/agroforestry planting

Yield & maturity

Maturity period

5-7 year rotation to clear-felling

Expected yield

High under Punjab's canal-irrigated plains

Actual yield depends on sowing time, soil, irrigation, weather, seed quality and crop management.

Pest & disease considerations

Major diseases

  • Moderate; standard gall-wasp and termite watch needed

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • Straight, uniform growth well suited to pulpwood and plywood-core sale
  • One of PAU's two standard commercial recommendations for Punjab, so planting material and agronomic guidance are both readily available
  • Performs reliably under Punjab's canal-irrigated farm-forestry conditions

Things to consider

  • Not specifically bred for saline or waterlogged land — use PE-11 on such sites instead
  • Needs standard gall-wasp (Leptocybe invasa) and termite monitoring like other clones in the north-Indian belt

Suitable regions
