Abstract

A study was carried out to assess the growth and survival of 14-year-old provenance cum progeny trials of Calamus subinermis at three different sites and soil types in Sabah Malaysia. These sites were Kolapis A a logged-over forest with sandy clay loam; Segaliud Lokan an Acacia mangium plantation with sandy loam to sandy clay loam and Sook scrub dominated by Baeckia frustescens with gleyic podzol. High survival percentage (more than 85) was observed in Sook while high mortality rate (more than 60) was noticed in both Kolapis A and Segaliud Lokan. Mean annual growth rates of C. subinermis were 1.36 3.34 and 3.78 m year-1 in Sook Segaliud Lokan and Kolapis A respectively. The growth performance of C. subinermis was more affected by soil type or soil condition than by provenance.
