Regenerating Eucalyptus camaldulensis Through coppice - An Economical Method
Zafar Iqbal
ABSTRACT
The common method for regenerating Eucalyptus
camaldulensis through seeds 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
faster than that crop of seed origin. Volume production
was not affected by the number of shoots retained or
removed. Reduction in number of shoots would be,
however, required to obtain bigger sized wood in
relatively short rotation.
