Nursery practice site evaluation and silvicultural management of plantations in Sarawak

Chai F.Y.C., . and Kendawang J.J., . (1985) Nursery practice site evaluation and silvicultural management of plantations in Sarawak. [Proceedings Paper]

Plantation on a significant scale was started in Sarawak only in 1979. Prior to this plantations were confined to trials of coniferous species and hardwood species including legumes. Major reforestation species now included Acacia mangium Shorea spp. Engkabang. Durio spp. Durian and Swietenia macrophylla. Nursery practices for these species were outlined. Site evaluation was carried out as far as possible to match the species to site. Silvicultural practices including weeding fertilisation and thinning operations had been carried out on an arbitrary basis and needed further studies. Effective protection against insect pests and fungal diseases fire control and tree improvement measures were essential for the success of future forest plantations in Sarawak

Abstract

Plantation on a significant scale was started in Sarawak only in 1979. Prior to this plantations were confined to trials of coniferous species and hardwood species including legumes. Major reforestation species now included Acacia mangium Shorea spp. Engkabang. Durio spp. Durian and Swietenia macrophylla. Nursery practices for these species were outlined. Site evaluation was carried out as far as possible to match the species to site. Silvicultural practices including weeding fertilisation and thinning operations had been carried out on an arbitrary basis and needed further studies. Effective protection against insect pests and fungal diseases fire control and tree improvement measures were essential for the success of future forest plantations in Sarawak
