  1. HIGH QUALITY PLANTING MATERIALS FOR FOREST PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT IN SARAWAK Julaihi Abdullah Sarawak Forestry Corporation 28.3.2013

  2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE INTRODUCTION CURRENT STATUS ISSUES AND CHALLENGES THE WAY FORWARD

  3. INTRODUCTION • 1 million hectares was set as a target for planted forests by 2020 • 43 LPF licenses have been issued with plantable area of 1.3 million hectares • Achievement as at December 2012 : 304,120ha (30%) • To plant up the remaining 700,000 hectares from 2013-2020 of planted forests, 800 million seedlings needed

  4. NEED FOR HIGH QUALITY PLANTING MATERIALS Optimum Growth & Yield High Quality Pulp & Wood High Quality Planting Materials Pests & Diseases Free Plantation Maximum Return On Investment

  5. Main Tree Plantation Species Planted by LPFs’ Holders Acacia mangium(Acacia, superbulk, Acacia hybrid) Paraserianthesfalcataria(Batai) Eucalyptus spp. (E. degluptaand E. pellita) Neolamarckiacadamba(Kelampayan) Heveabrasiliensis(Rubberwood – Timber Latex Clone) Dipterocarp spp.

  6. Supply of planting materials • Local suppliers: Borneo Tree Seed and Seedling Supplies SdnBhd (BTSS), Sarawak Planted Forest SdnBhd( SPFSB) and Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) • Imported seeds sourced from : Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Solomon Island

  7. CURRENT STATUS OF R&D DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING SPECIES IN SARAWAK

  8. Acacia mangium

  9. Acaciamangium • About 50,000 ha to be planted annually • 50 million seedlings is required annually : (1,000 kg of seeds) • Current production capacity • SPFSB : 60 ha of SPA produce 100 kg of seeds/year • BTSSS: 20 ha produce 60-80kg of seeds /year • LPF holders: produce the seeds themselves or purchase it from overseas • BTSSS: produce seedlings from cutting for hybrid

  10. Acacia mangium……..continue • Current Status • R & D findings from overseas available • Need to improve to suit local conditions • R & D conducted by individual LPFs • Action Plan • Seed production area(SPA) and Seed orchard (SO) • Need to establish 600 ha of SPA/seed orchard immediately • Increase SPA, seed orchard and clonal seed orchard in existing plantation • The future plan is to establish clonal seed orchard • SFCSB shall provide technical assistance

  11. Paraserianthesfalcataria(Batai)

  12. 2. Paraserianthesfalcataria(Batai) • Current status • No research done on the improvement of planting material • Seeds imported from overseas (Indonesia, Solomon Islands, Philippines) • Action Plan • Tree breeding programs need to be conducted (SFC & LPFs) • SPA to be established in LPFs • Potential mother trees to be identified for breeding purposes

  13. Eucalyptus spp. (E. degluptaand E. pellita)

  14. 3. Eucalyptus spp. (E. degluptaand E. pellita) • Current status • Seeds purchased from oversea (Solomon Islands & Australia) • Trial plots have been establish by SPFSB since 2007 • Initial growth is promising • Samling (LPF0014) is carrying out research on cross breeding of E. degluptaand E. pellitaunder controlled cross pollination & cuttings • Action Plan • Its potential needs further R&D before it could be considered for planting on a large scale

  15. Neolamarckiacadamba(Kelampayan)

  16. 4. Neolamarckiacadamba(Kelampayan) • CURRENT STATUS • SPAs have been established throughout Sarawak by SFC • Provenance trial is currently being carried out • Seedling germinated from seed (1 gram = 20,000 seeds, 1 kg=20 million seeds) • Tree improvement through genetic engineering is ongoing • Seeds from selected mother tree is now available for planting • Action Plan • Germplasm needs to be established • Issues on site specific & pests attack need to be addressed

  17. 5. Heveabrasiliensis (Rubberwood – Timber Latex Clone) • R&D done by LembagaGetah Malaysia(LGM) • One of the species recommended by Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) • 20-25 year rotation

  18. Dipterocarp species

  19. 6. Dipterocarp species • Shoreaspp (Meranti), Dryobalanopsspp (Kapur) and Dipterocarpusspp(Keruing) • Current status • Potential species for forest plantation identified • SPA established • Cutting technique established • Tissue culture is ongoing • Issues • Irregular fruiting, • recalcitrant(seed cannot be stored for more than 6 months) • 30-40 year rotation

  20. THE ISSUES AND CHALLENGES • Insufficient supply of high quality planting materials • No Federal funding for R&D (since RMK10) • R & D conducted by individual LPFs and not coordinated • Pest and Disease Outbreak e.gGanoderma(red root rot), Ceratocystis(wilt disease), heart rot, borers attack, etc

  21. THE WAY FORWARD • Strengthen R&D on production of high quality planting materials • Identify the best mother trees • Ascertain the genetic variation of mother trees • Setting up technical consultative committee for R&D • FD/SFC to coordinate R & D with LPFs • Provide technical assistance to LPF holders • Monitoring and mitigation of Pest and diseases

  22. THE WAY FORWARD (cont..) • Seek more funding from State • Establish adequate clonal seed orchard, SPA • for selected tree species to produce high quality planting materials. • Development of growth and yield model • Capacity building – train more local experts and enhance collaboration with other research Institutions/ Universities • Appointment of Sarawak Forest Tree Seedbank, Semengoh to regulate the quality of seeds and planting materials

  23. To produce high quality planting materials of indigenous forest tree species and exotic species To provide seed testing and seed storage facilities. To establish and maintain Seed Production Areas and Phenology plots ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF SARAWAK FOREST TREE SEED BANK, SEMENGOH Coordinates seed registration, documentation and distribution

  24. SARAWAK FOREST TREE SEED BANK

  25. Borneo Tree Seeds and Seedlings Supplies SdnBhd, Bintulu Seed Production Area for Acacia superbulk

  26. PROVENANCE TRIAL PLOT CLONAL ARCHIVE Sarawak Planted Forest SdnBhd (SPFSB), Bintulu

  27. SYARIKAT SAMLING TIMBER SDN BHD, BINTULU Production of Planting Materials of Eucalyptus spby Leafy Stem Cuttings

  28. Controlled cross pollination of E. pellitaand E. deglupta x E. pellita E. deglupta

  29. AKNOWLEDGEMENT Sarawak Planted Forest SdnBhd (SPFSB) Borneo Tree Seed and Seedling Supplies SdnBhd (BTSS) Samling (LPF0014)

  30. THANK YOU

  31. APPENDIX 1 Current production: • SPFSB • 60 ha of SPA produce 100 kg of seed/year • BTSSS: • 20 ha produce 60-80kg of seed /year 1 kg= 50,000 of seeds or can cater 40 -50 ha, 1 ha can produce about 2 kg of seeds 50,000 ha of Acacia plantation(20,000ha SPF & 30,000 other LPFs) requires 50 million seedlings(1,000 kg of seeds) annually
