Abstract: The study was conducted at existing plantations of stratified areas of two sites of Haryana. After making a survey of stratified areas, Hansi (HR-1) and Dupedi (HR-2) sites were selected with three distinct spacings i.e.2mx2m, 3mx3m, and 4mx4m. The growth parameters of both height and diameter were measured continuously for three consecutive years. The maximum increase in mean height was recorded at Dupedi in spacing of 3m×3m and minimum was recorded in spacing of 2m×2m. In case of girth the maximum mean girth were recorded at Dupedi in spacing of 3m×3m. Repeated measure analysis reveals that the growth attributes of height and diameter at 3mx3m were significantly differ from 2mx2m and 4mx4m spacing's. The higher growth were observed in spacing of 3m×3m which may allow the tree to have minimum branches and higher wood in stem of the Melia sp which may be due to the favourable micro-climate of the species created at 3mx3m spacing. The study reveals that the appropriate spacing plays a significant role in increase of amount of bole height and wood stock in minimum space and time.
