Assessment of several fuelwood cum fodder species trials in Pakistan

ABSTRACT
A comparison of height-growth data of 40 fuelwood/fodder species was made under eight barani and irrigated conditions in Pakistan. The results revealed that the Eucalyptus camaldulensis provenance originating from Australian Northern Territory of Alice Springs, E. nucrotheca and AY-48 clone of Populus deltoids gave the best growth. For fodder, Acacia nilotica, Albizia procera, Leucaena leucocephala and Robinia pseudoacacia were rated best. Steps to bring about further genetic improvement in these species are discussed.
