Teak Stump Sprouting Capacity Under Compound Coppice Regime Process

ABSTRACT

This work aimed to evaluate the teak stump sprouting capacity under compound coppice process. The experiment was implemented at spacing of 3.0 × 2.0 m and 3.0 × 3.0 m. At 8-years old, the experiment was systematically thinned in 50%. After thinning, with new spacing of 3.0 × 4.0 m and 3.0 × 6.0 m, the stump sprouting capacity of the thinned trees was evaluated. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, whit two treatments and 5 repetitions. The treatments were T1 = conduced sprouting under compound coppice process at the spacing 3.0 × 4.0 m and T2 = conduced sprouting under compound coppice at the spacing 3.0 × 6.0 m. Teak presented sprouting capacity under compound coppice until 12-years old for both treatments.
