| Abstract/Description: | Rain tree (Albizia saman) is a host plant for lac insects (Kerria spp.) known for producing a resin called ‘lac’ which finds application in many industrial sectors. Lac cultivation is an important livelihood for the forest and sub-forest people of the country including Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Odisha. Rain tree is an attractive, large, semi deciduous popular avenue tree with an umbrella-shaped crown. The tree also yields reddish-brown colored gum from its bark. The gum is of inferior quality and can be used as an adhesive. Recent surveys and past reports suggest that Rain tree may serve as an important host for lac cultivation thorough out India. |
