Abstract

In the present study the biomass estimation and growth analysis has been carried out by making different girth class and age group commonly multi purpose fodder tree species. The result of foliar biomass and lopping regeneration in relation to mean annual increment (MAI) of some common fodder tree species with the allometric equation, variables and parameters relation to biomass comparison with observed result and character with different age class (<A0 to >A6) and different girth class (<G1 to >G6).
