Growth Potential and Thinning Yield Studies of Uttar Pradesh Chir Pine

Abstract

The paper presents a mathematical approach to the preparation of yield tables for different density stands which are subjected to thinnings at various stages of development. Chirpine data of Uttar Pradesh have been utilised to develop various relationships. It is felt that stocking of chirpine is low in natural forests and production per unit area could be much enhanced by judicious implementation of thinnings.
