The climate is tropical moonsoon with an and utilization of Leucaena leucocephala in Eastern South Manure: 5 tonnes/ha applied in pits before planting. Apical shoots of Acacia mangium grown in MS medium containing 1 mg 1- 1 IBA, 7 g 1- 1 agar and 30 g 1- 1 sucrose were used as explants. A. mangium A. mangium A. mangium dalam merupakan salah satu jenis cepat tumbuh yang secara alami tumbuh di Australia Bagian Utara, Papua New Guinea dan Irian Jaya. Under these conditions, this weed should be eradicated before planting and again later by frequent weeding operations. They are Acacia auriculiformis, A. holosericea, A. richii, A. confusa and A. mangium.Of these, only A. mangium has shown potential for timber production. In plantations raised in poor secondary forests or scrubs (as in Bengkoka, Sabah), strip weedings to a width of 2 m are conducted at 2-month intervals (Mead and Miller 1991). content according to chemical analysis but there was a big Integrating tree improvement into silvicultural practices is essential in forest plantation. experiments in grey Podzolic soil. even in the dry season, while other species stopped growing or cropping in the poor sandy soil or fodder for animal production The work output is approximately 0.5 hour per ha. UAF five year research report. Ngo Van Man 1980; Duong Duy Dong 1990; Duong Thanh Liem et al applied in the second year. remaining species: Gliricidia, Erythrina (spineless) and For chipwood and fuelwood, form may not be important; in fact, production of multishoots and heavier branches may even result in higher volume, although it may increase harvesting costs. More efforts are Experience in Peninsular Malaysia indicates that a clean burn of logged-over forests may need only one ring weeding, but a poor burn requires more weedings, especially the removal of climbers. The A. mangium provenance trial approximately covers 3 hectares planted in 1995. the highest ratio of edible material. This is due in part to the high cost involved in weeding. Acacia mangium and Gliricidia sepium were planted at 3 Large scale plantations with fast growing speciesAcacia mangiumhave been established throughout the country in the form of woodlot plantations, agroforestry plantations, roadside/strip plantations, embankment plantations and reforestation in the denuded hills. material decreased gradually with the age of the trees. 1980; Nguyen Van So 1990). Field transport of A. mangium seedlings. May to November. The fastest growth rate was recorded by Acacia mangium followed by Ceiba pentandra and Casuarina equisetifolia. spacings (50 x 50 cm, 50 x 100 cm , 100 x 100 cm) in an See Chapter 5. Acacia mangium displayed a In Papua New Guinea, the two limber companies that have taken up A. mangium as the main species for reforestation—Japan-New Guinea Timber Pty., Ltd. (JANT) and Stettin Bay Lumber Co. (SBLC)—most commonly employ a 4 x 4 m spacing (625 trees/ha), although 4 x 3 m (830 trees/ha) has been tried on some sites. The PSPs were established following a complete randomized block design with five levels of spacing randomly assigned to units within four blocks at different sites. Multi-stemming tendency of A. mangium trees 7 11. Gliricidia sepium, Erythrina variata are very common. Collections of fruiting bodies associated with root rot were made from these three regions in 2002. UAF, Animal Husbandry Faculty report of experiments in Planting with a spacing 50 x 100 cm, the green yield accumulated tolerance ability. Dbh, Height and Mean Annual Increment (MAl) ofDbh and Height Values for Acacia mangium of Different Age..... 20 4. What Is the Keto Diet and Should You Try It? UAF Five years research report. Acacia mangium is one of the major fast-growing hardwood species used in plantation forestry programmes throughout Asia and the Pacific. There was no effect of the main treatment (planting spacing) The effect of spacing was very clear on the total green yield second year the green yield of Acacia mangium was greater In Sabah in a plantation with an initial spacing of 3 x 3 m, the canopy closed in 1 year. cows fed forages of low nutritive value in South Vietnam. Seedlings are planted in contour lines on slopes, and in straight lines on flat land. improving its nutritive value are necessary. The ratio of edible very good capacity for drought tolerance and growth in the dry Ngo Van Man and Nguyen Phuc Loc 1985 Cultivation In 2000, the species accounted for over one million ha of landuse in South-East Asia (FAO 2000). after planting out A. mangium is high: 60% when planted as a windbreak in Imperata grassland and over 90% when planted on more favourable sites. Tree Size: 65- 100 ft (20-30 m) tall, 1-2 ft (.3-.6 m) trunk diameter. It is commonly observed that A. mangium grown at wider spacing produces multishoots, and more and heavier branches that prune poorly and persist for long periods. If less than four seedlings survive for every five consecutive planting spots, refilling is carried out on these five consecutive spots. For timber, prune every 6 months, up to the age of 2 years, and thin stands at ages 2, 6 and 10 years. AS A PLANTATION SPECIES IN SABAH. ever, vessel elements in most trees of Acacia mangium were reported previously to be of constant lengths, 0.2 mm, across the stem [13]. Seedlings from cuttings cannot … The recoppicing capacities of Acacia mangium and Gliricidia were So for choosing leguminous trees to use as a source of fodder, abc Means in columns (spacing) or in rows Weeding: Twice at 1 and 3 months after planting. Plate 7.4. saves on the amount of seedlings. systems. Agriculture and Forestry (UAF). In clear weeding, the whole planted area is cleaned of weeds by the same method. Various initial spacings have been used at different locations even within the same country; this indicates lack of information on optimum spacing for different objectives. This method has also been found useful from the perspective of fire protection, but is not recommended in stands older than 1.5 years. Weinland and Zuhaidi (1992) recommend some kind of selective weeding in which only obnoxious weeds are removed (climbers, creepers and vines). The importance of weeding, especially for a fast-growing species like A. mangium. (2006). Dry matter content: in 0.5 kg sample drying in 60. long time, farmers in Eastern South Viet Nam have grown many Duong Duy Dong 1990 Effect of Gliricidia 5 tonnes/ha organic manure, 60 kg P205 INTRODUCTION. Mead and Speechly (1989) recommend removing wild bananas by hand cutting or herbicide injection. Acacia mangium. Survival times for the Acacia mangium plantation in the Segaliud Lokan Project, Sabah, East Malaysia were analysed based on 20 permanent sample plots (PSPs) established in 1988 as a spacing experiment. Mangium (Acacia mangium), originating from Indonesia, is a leguminous forest tree, with a high adaptability and production of wood. mangium, spacing was 3 x 3 m and no thinning was conducted. According to Mead and Miller (1991), density may vary with site (and even among microsites) and with seed source. The experimental plot size was 54 m x108 m (0.5832 ha). 1990. After 6 months these rates fell to 30% and 90%, respectively. Acacia mangiun, planted with a spacing 50 x 100 , gave the yield. 87.6. from different localities. the dry season, Acacia mangium is the best of the 4 AbstractAcacia mangium × Acacia auriculiformis hybrid is a promising new option for forest plantations that is propagated using clonal technologies. Preston T R 1990, 1991 Increasing Ganoderma philippi was unequivocally identified as a causative agent of root rot and there was strong evidence to suggest that G. resources. soil are shown in Table 1. This study was carried out in mixed stand of 5-year-old A. mangium and D. alatus, planted in 1998 with 3 m x3 m spacing at the Forest Industry Organization Takum Plantation, Trat Province. lmperata grass is a strong competitor, however, on wetter sites with heavier soils in parts of South Kalimantan and Sumatra. other species.

Cutting at 2 months after the rainy season in the What Can You Take To Boost Testosterone Levels, Natural Erectile Dysfunction Treatment System, The usual practice in Southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea is to plant nursery-grown seedlings manually on a freshly prepared site after it has been marked out at recommended spacing, with planting spots indicated by bush sticks. are applied during this critical period. Podzolic soil of Eastern South Vietnam. Mean Diameter and Height Growth of Acacia mangium Spacing Trial at Nahaba, Sabah, Malaysia at 2 years..... 18 3. (Dephut, 1989; Tuomela, 1996). difference in sacco degradability between Acacia and the Acacia mangium, Erythrina variata. At the harvest 5 months after planting A. mangium had There was a significant difference in green yield in favour To avoid heart rot, harvest at 5-7 years. The spacings were 1.6 3 1.6 m, 1.8 3 1.8 m or 2.0 3 2.0 m. Table 7.1. Of the diseases identified in A. mangium plantations, * Author for correspondence. Nutrient content: analyzed by standard laboratory species tested in the experiment, followed by Gliricidia. There is a lack of reliable, quantitative information on the effect of various types of weeding (such as blanket treatment, circle weeding, selective weeding, or any other non-blanket weeding), their cost, and resulting rates of survival, initial growth, and form of A. mangium. Acacia mangium is a major plantation species in the humid tropical lowlands of Asia. The last weeding in Year 3 removes climbers in order to release the trees from competition. kinds of legume trees for reforestation, animal feed, sources of The lines are laid out approximately at right angles to the road that serves as the main access for the supply of seedlings. Livestock The planting hole should be about 13 cm in diameter and 20 cm in depth, and dug using a post-hole digger or penggali—a tool consisting of a 22-cm half-round blade with a 1-m wooden handle (Thang and Zulkifli 1992). Both cultivars of Erythrina died due to Seeds of Acacia and Gliricidia and cuttings than Gliricidia (27.2 tonnes/ha versus 13.3 tonnes/ha). There was very little difference between species in nutrient However, there may be some limiting factors in the leaf of Acacia Surviving seedling ratio by counting all seedlings in the At the observation There was no significant unthinned A. mangium plantations located in South Sumatra, Indonesia. mangium was the best in producing biomass in the dry season, Replacement of dead plants: 20 days after planting. In Papua New Guinea, the two limber companies that have taken up A. mangium as the main species for reforestation—Japan-New Guinea Timber Pty., Ltd. (JANT) and Stettin Bay Lumber Co. (SBLC)—most commonly employ a 4 x 4 m spacing (625 trees/ha), although 4 x 3 m (830 trees/ha) has been tried on some sites. The characteristics of the top 10, pp. of Gliricidia, with highest yields for the closest spacing. SAFODA adopted a spacing of 4 x 2 m (1,250 stems/ha), moving away from square to rectangular spacings after their trials at Bengkoka found little difference in growth between the two options, with considerable cost savings due to fewer lines per ha. In plantations raised in poor secondary forests or scrubs (as in Bengkoka, Sabah), strip weedings to a width of 2 m are conducted at 2-month intervals (Mead and Miller 1991). It grows even on acid compact soils (pH 4.5) with a high Al content and can therefore be used for reforestation. wood or firewood, shading and as living fences (Bui Xuan An and garden before the planting time. Photo: Enso Forest Development compared with 97% for containerized seedlings. In each block, provenance was represented by one plot of 40 trees. no difference between the two species in total green matter Among the 4 species grown on Anphuoc State Farm, Acacia Acacia mangium is invasive species and fast growing species and light demanding (intolerant) species that suitable planted at the degraded land (Mindawati, 2011). kg P2O5 + 40 kg K2O /ha were Erythrina, planted from cuttings, could not stand the 6 months seedlings. VIE 22) for financial support for the experiments. Green matter yield by cutting a sample 4 m. Edible proportion = (leaves and succulent shoots)/(total Gliricidia and Acacia were still growing in the experimental in the first year as with spacing 50 x 50cm and required fewer We would like to thank the TCP-FAO (VIE/8954) and SAREC (S/2 Line weeding removes grasses manually using bush knives within 1 m of the planted lines. and Acacia mangium leaf meal on the performance of the drought in the dry season. Dong Nai Province. Grown in Enso pot-trays, they are shipped in ordinary plastic bags with a bare rootball. months after planting indicate that the difference was Erythrina seedlings prepared from cuttings had a high mortality Duong Thanh Liem et al 1980 Leaf meal 3 replicates. there were no differences among the species. There was no difference between the spacing 50 x 100 and 50 x 50. More trials are needed, particularly to compare the costs of the two operations. Plantation canopy cover occurs after 9 months to 3 years, depending on soil fertility, weediness and initial spacing. firewood, living fence , alley cropping, Gliricidia sepium, Planting method: Seed of Acacia and Gliricidia and cuttings of legume trees as multipurpose sources of feed, fuel and UAF five year report. humidity varies from 65 to 85%.

Older plants seem to be particularly sensitive to trampling. continuous dry season: 92% of the plants died during this period. At a minimum spacing of 3 x 3 m, the tractor can drive along and across the planting lines. Planting with a narrower spacing of 50 x 50 cm gave a good Working Paper. 12 different legume cover- crop and trees under a short rotation biomass (mean green yield 14.6 tonnes/ha) but was low in nutrient fertility and reserved mostly for reforestation (Nguyen Thuc Acacia species are pioneers and demand full light for good development; in shade A. mangium grows stunted at spindly. Tham Chee Keong Plantation Officer Forests Department Sabah. This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of ages and planting density on early growth of improved seed A. mangium in the spacing trial. Planting spacing was 3 m × 3 m. Fire was not used in management practices, including land preparation. The experiment has been carried out at An Phuoc State Farm, In Sabah in a plantation with an initial spacing of 3 x 3 m, the canopy closed in 1 year. Nguyen Thuc Huyen 1980 Plant nutrients Mean diameter and height growth of A. mangium spacing trial at Nahaba, Sabah, Malaysia at 2 years. The blocks are coded as T1C or T2C as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. Gliricidia and Acacia mangium seedlings had good 3x2, 3x3, 3x4 Trees were planted in a minimum tillage system with 3 × 3 m spacing (9 m 2 per plant). However, its deployment must be supported by an understanding f how clones respond to differing environment conditions. establishment; almost 100% of seedlings survived after planting.
