Abstract

The planting stocks raised from rooted stem cuttings of two Dipterocarp and five nonDipterocarp species were planted in Field 48 Bukit Hari Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve Kepong Selangor Malaysia. Seven years after planting the survival of Dipterocarp species planted were 87% for Hopea odorata and 95% for Dipterocarpus chartaceus. Mean annual height increment (hMAI) of H. odorata was higher (106 cmy-¹) than D. chartaceus (78 cmy-¹). The mean annual diameter increment (dMAI) of H. odorata was 1.4 cmy-¹. The diameter increment for D. chartaceus is not yet available due to the slow growth of this species. For the non-dipterocarps Khaya ivorensis had the highest survival rate (88%) followed by Endospermum diadenum (71%) Azadirachta excelsa (49%) Pouteria malaccensis (28%) and Dyera costulata (20%). In terms of hMAI K. ivorensis had the highest increment (269 cmy-¹) followed by E. diadenum (262 cmy-¹) A. excelsa (148 cmy-¹) P. malaccensis (141 cmy-¹) and D. costulata (137 cmy-¹). The dMAI for E. diadenum and K. Ivorensis were higher (2.6 and 2.3 cmy-¹ respectively) compared to those of P. malaccensis D. costulata and A. excelsa which ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 cmy-¹). The results showed that the planting stocks raised from rooted cuttings can be used as an alternative planting material for plantation.
