SITE QUALITY CURVES FOR AFRICAN MAHOGANY PLANTATIONS IN BRAZIL [PDF]

Cerne, 2016
ABSTRACT Site quality estimation is an important tool in forest management since it is useful for modeling growth and yield for even-aged stands. Data from African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis A. Chev.) Brazilian plantations were used to develop a model to predict dominant height growth, comparing dynamic base-age invariant site index models with the ...

Indolebutyric acid and light quality in the rooting of african mahogany minicuttings

Research, Society and Development, 2022
The vegetative propagation of african mahogany allows the formation of more uniform seedlings, at a lower cost and with greater productive potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of indolebutyric acid (iba) and light quality on the rooting of african mahogany minicuttings.
