Expected Deliverables

1. Joint pursuance of farmer's extension of 5 new casuarina clones with PSPD team and prospect new scope for NextGen clones
   1. Establishment of top 5 clones in 3 in-land locations
   2. Develop prediction model for Clone V.2.0
2. Comply with the business acceptance of coppicing induction package and develop model for informed selection of coppicing trait
   1. Demonstrate coppicing induction and yield advantage to PSPD team
   2. Develop prediction model for coppicing trait with marker accuracy of >0.5
3. Establish sustainable fertigation model in Casuarina
   1. Identify location/soil specific cultural micro-biome
   2. Ascertain the effect of application of micro-biome consortium in the nursery
   3. Record the field performance and establish the microbial package of practice for nursery for business recommendation
4. Establish framework for for intra-specific hybrids in C.j
   1. Assemble and develop 100 grafts C.j

Exploratory

1. Explore the the performance of clones based on type of propagule
2. Establish form factor for Casuarina

Anand

1. Establish location and population neutral prediction model and their application in informed selection
2. Establish haplotype block vs LD as a an association principle for obtaining better marker accuracy
