Abstract

Yield table for Casuarina equisetifolia, based on data gathered from Kerala, is reported. The volume-diameter relation, height-diameter relation and the site index equation associated with the yield function are also presented. The rotation age worked out varied from 4 to 8 years depending on the site quality and stocking level. For a given site quality, rotation age comes down with increase in stocking and for a given stocking level, rotation age increases with decrease in site quality level.
