Construction of yield model for Ailanthus excelsa grown in Cauvery delta agro climatic zone of Tamil Nadu, India
Author(s): J Ravi, S Radhakrishnan and A Balasubramanian
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to construct the yield model for Ailanthus excelsa trees grown in Cauvery delta agro climatic zone of Tamil Nadu. Trees of different age classes ranging from 1 year to10 years were selected for the study. The instrument laser distance meter was used to measure tree height, diameter at breast height and diameter at 2 m intervals for deriving the volume. In this study, the volume of trees in age class of 9-10 years ranged between 0.088 m3 per tree and 0.210 m 3 per tree with the average value of 0.192 m3 per tree. The yield model constructed for Ailanthus excelsa grown in Cauvery delta zone of Tamil Nadu was Y= -0.041 + (0.019*Age) + (0.083*Diameter). The yield model will be helpful to the tree growers and farmers for deriving the approximate volume for Ailanthus excelsa trees grown in their farmlands by knowing the age and diameter and this may be useful in predicting the yield and ascertain better returns for their produce.
