GROWTH AND YIELD TABLES FOR <em>ACACIA</em> <em>MANGIUM</em> GROWN IN THE PLANTATIONS IN BANGLADESH

Abstract

Acacia mangium has been found suitable for Bangladesh and is included in the plantation programme. Models were selected for the species to estimate the stand dominant height, stand height, stand diameter, stand basal area per hectare, total volume yield per hectare, above ground green biomass yield per hectare and green biomass of the stem and branches per hectare. The yield prediction models derived in the study could be satisfactorily used for mangium plantations of ages 1-9 years and site indices of 8.0 to 20.4 m based on a base age of 6 years.
