Regenerating Eucalyptus camaldulensis through coppice an economical method
Zafar Iqbal
ABSTRACT
The Common method for regenerating Eucalyptus camaldulensis is quite expensive, laborious and lengthy. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted on 12 years old plantation using R.C.B. design with five replications. The results are quite encouraging and suggest that Eucalyptus camaldulensis can be raised successfully through coppice. Growth of coppice shoots was about 2-3 times more than the crop of seed origin. Volume production was not affected by the number of shoots retained or removed. However, reduction in number of shoots would be required to obtain bigger sized wood in relatively short rotation.
