Biomass production by different species and clones of Poplar

ABSTRACT
Intro:
An important study titled Comparative growth study of Eucalyptus camaldulensis,
Salmalia malabarica, Morus alba and Poplars under different quantities of water
was laid out in
Chichawatni plantation in August, 1977 by the P.F.I. The objective of the study as is clear from
the title, was to find out the optimum quantity of water best suitable for growth of species/
poplar clones. Original spacing was 10' x 6' (3 x 2 m) and one year old entire plants were
transplanted at the above spacing in RCB design with four replications. First thinning was
done in the crop in autumn of 1980 but it was rather on conservative side. The crop gave a
congested appearance on visit in September 1984. Therefore second thinning was done giving a
release to the left over plants to put up better growth.
