Species-cum-provenance Trial of Eucalyptus in Punjab

Eucalyptus hybrid is an important species under the social forestry programme of Punjab. With a view to get more yield per unit area species-cum-provenance trials of Eucalyptus were taken up. Data regarding a four year old species/provenance trial involving three species viz. E. camaldulensis, E. tereticornis and E microtheca and five treatments have been analysed. No significant difference between treatments has been observed though the Gilbert river provenance of E. camaldulensis has, so far, given the highest basal area and volume.
