Santalum album L. is an evergreen hemi-parasitic tree renowned for its fragrant heartwood. It is indigenous to India and distributed in 9,600 km2, mostly in the deciduous forests of Deccan region of Peninsular India (Gairola et al., 2008). More than 90 per cent of its natural population of India is in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu (Dutt and Verma, 2005). Sandalwood is semi parasite in nature hence it is depends on the host species for haustorialm connection to absorb nutrient and water. Successful establishment of haustorial connection leads to better growth of the sandal seedlings. Different host species were selected at different stages of the sandalwood growth mainly primary host, intermediate and long-term host therefore silviculture of host plant is most critical for successful Sandalwood plantation.
