  Eucalyptus plantation has been playing a vital role in narrowing the gap between the supply and demand for wood and wood products in the region. Though eucalyptus is fast-growing and has a better survival rate compared to other exotic species, there is a claim that Eucalyptus species over exploiting the nutrients and water. This consequently led to land degradation and soil fertility decline. Hence, it is important to develop mixed plantations to minimize the gap of monocultures. This study aimed to select Acacia decurrens-Eucalyptus Camaldulensis mixed plantation to obtain better woody yield and improve site productivity than sole plantation. A. decurrens and E.camladulensis seedlings were planted with the proportions of: 0%:100%, 100%:0%, 25%:75%, 75%:25% and 50%:50%. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results.. View More»
