At the end of the fifth year, eucalyptus produced significantly highest total dry matter per plant as compared to the other tree species. Similarly, the wood yield was significantly higher in eucalyptus (92:21 t/ha) than bengali jali (63.74 t/ha) and sissoo (58.45 t/ha) which were significantly superior to casuarina, subabul,teak and rosewood.
