The Sundarbans mangrove is a highly dynamic ecosystem. Gewa
(Excoecaria agallocha Linn.) is a codominent species, the
merchantable growing stock of which was depleted by 45% during 1959
to 1983. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on
phenology, genetic diversity, improvement of selection, and
suitable propagation system and hedge development and management as
a step towards sustainable management of the species and enhances
the productivity of the mangrove forests. Gewa is a commercially
important hardwood species. So it is an urgent need to improve this
species for maintaining and protecting its genetic erosion. The
present situation calls for improvement and management of this
species for sustainability of the forest. The seed viability
decreases very rapidly within a short time. Natural regeneration of
gewa is limited due to several biological factors. Shortage of
superior seeds/propagules for plantation forestry may be overcome
by using clonal propagation technique. The results suggest that, to
increase the timber yields, productivity and sustainability of the
forest, enrichment plantation by genetically superior stocks is
possible in the mangrove forest.
