Abstract

Results of the experiment conducted to evaluate the performance of bark harvesting techniques on quality parameters of Terminalia cuneata indicated that the bark harvested from stem recorded maximum and significantly higher mean thickness (4.39 mm), mean fresh weight (0.56 g/cm2), mean dry weight (0.20 g/cm2), mean per cent moisture content (180.59) and mean per cent tannin content (4.37) as compared with bark harvested from matured primary, secondary and tertiary branches of T. cuneata.
