Abstract

Damage caused by heart-rot in teak trees in natural forest has been estimated in Madhya Pradesh (Central India) where 38% to 88% trees were found affected by heart-rot. Loss assessment made in stored teak logs in the depots revealed that about 39% logs were having heart-rot entailing an average loss of about 11% in wood volume. This loss in wood volume has been calculated to the tune of nearly Rs. 200 million annually on the basis of market value of teak.
