Abstract
The study on growth and production of Acacia sp., ACACAU QLD and ACACAU PNG and Leucaena sp., LEUCHY Kx3B and LEUCLE K636 were carried out for 3 years on Plinthic Paleaquults at Mae Hia Agricultural Research Station and Training Center, Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University.
It was found that LEUCLE K636 was the most promising multipurpose tree. It had the highest height and stem dry weight 11.19 m. and 24.91 kg/tree respectively. ACACAU PNG was the lowest growth and production. Thinning method encouraged to decrease the height but to increase the size of stem. However, there were no significant difference of biomass among them which ranged from 2.29-3.24 kg/tree.
