Dear Brewbaker,
Let me introduce as Rajkumar, working with Dr.Mohan Varghese in ITC, India. Our major mandate of research centers around wood and pulp yield of Leucaena and Eucalyptus, while many farmers life depend on Leucaena in India
Our major focus in Leucaena is developing hybrids, producing quality seeds particularly triploids, besides we also work on seedlot evaluation, developing appropriate clonal techniques. Having said that, we have collected germplasm from ICRAF, Kenya, 5 species, (L. trichandra(2x), L.diversifolia (4x), L. esculenta(2x) and L. pallida(4x), L. leucocephala(2x) and developed sort of hybridization orchard with the assumption to collect triploid seeds.
