2. In another study, weeds were allowed to grow in one set of plots while the second set was regularly ploughed. The average height and diameter after three years Were 5.85 m, 4.3 cm for the control plots, these were 7.71 and 5.6 cm for the ploughed plots. Necessity of soil cultivation in poplar plantations is therefore quite evident and we should not expect normal growth if soil cultivation requirements of poplars are not kept in view....
