Growth rate of tree species

ABSTRACT
Very often enquiries from field foresters are made to ascertain the comparative rate of
growth of different tree species over a period of time. With a view to finding out as to how
Dalbergia sissoo, Salmalia malabarica, Eucalyptus citriodora and Populus deltoides 1-63/51
would compare under the climatic conditions obtaining in Peshawar, a study was laid-out
in February, 1978. 120 plants of each species were planted in 16 subplots at a spacing of
4 x 4 m. In each subplot, 30 plants were planted, 480 plants in all. Planting was done in a
randomised complete block design in 4 replications.
