Comparing the growth of plantations grown Dyera costulata on different soil types

Adzmi Yaakob, . and Amir Saaifudin K, . and Michael Maijohn, . and Ahmad Zuhaidi Yahya, . and Rosdi Koter, . (2008) Comparing the growth of plantations grown Dyera costulata on different soil types. [Proceedings Paper]

This paper describes the results of comparing the growth of Dyera costulata planted on two different soil types Renggam and Durian series in Bukit Lagong Selangor and Kemasul Pahang. After 6 years of observation trees planted on Renggam series showed better performance in terms of the diameter and height growth. The average diameter and height of the stand in Bukit Lagong were 11.2 cm and 8.97 m as compared with the stand in Kemasul at 9.0 cm and 6.30 m respectively. Similarly with other parameters observation in the former has higher crown percentage whorl long internode and low mortality rate. The chemical properties were not much different between the two soils however it may be concluded that the favourable physical properties play a more important role in influencing better growth performance of D.costulata on Renggam soil.

Abstract

This paper describes the results of comparing the growth of Dyera costulata planted on two different soil types Renggam and Durian series in Bukit Lagong Selangor and Kemasul Pahang. After 6 years of observation trees planted on Renggam series showed better performance in terms of the diameter and height growth. The average diameter and height of the stand in Bukit Lagong were 11.2 cm and 8.97 m as compared with the stand in Kemasul at 9.0 cm and 6.30 m respectively. Similarly with other parameters observation in the former has higher crown percentage whorl long internode and low mortality rate. The chemical properties were not much different between the two soils however it may be concluded that the favourable physical properties play a more important role in influencing better growth performance of D.costulata on Renggam soil.
