ABSTRACT
Intro:
Amongst the various species in agroforestry programme, Eucalyptus has established itself as a tree most suitable for Agroforestry, as it can grow on a variety of soils under various climatic conditions. It has desirable qualities, such as fast rate of growth, clean straight bole, thin crown, ornamental value and less shade casting. Besides that, it has multiple uses i.e. poles, pulp, fuel, charcoal, fiber board, chipboard etc. and above all it gives high and early return.
Due to these characters Eucalyptus Camaldulensis has been liked very much by farmers. Planting of Eucalyptus is being done by the farmers on field boundaries, in rows along water channels, on farm approach roads, as woodlots and in compact blocks in fields with agricultural crops at variable spacings.
In this paper results of effect of various spacings on the growth of Eucalyptus camaldulensis under agroforestry systems have been presented.
