Production Potential and other Crop Characters of the first Generation Coppice of <I>Eucalyptus hybrid</I>

Abstract

Eucalyptus hybrid has been planted extensively in India to meet the demand of fuelwood, small timber and pulp wood Growth aad production data of tbe first generation planted E. hybrid is available There is very little incomplete information avaiJable for Eucalyptus coppice of the first generation. For proper management planning of the coppice crop, growth and production statistics are nece ssary. This study provides required information for the first generation Eucalyptus coppice. Production table has been prepared by one year age class from 3 through 11 years for different stockings and two site qualities. Other crop characters such as crop diameter, basal area, M.A.I. and C.A.I. have also been given in the form of tables for different ages, site qualities and stockings.
