The present investigation was carried out to study the growth behavior of Poplar clones under short rotation and intensive culture. Diameter increase of clones showed typical sigmoidal growth curve. Decline and irregular increase and decrease in c.a.i are mainly attributed to the flooding of area. However genetic constitution of individual clone is responsible for variation in growth rate of clones under investigation.
