 ABSTRACT

The variation in physico-chemical properties of wood within the candidates plus trees (CPT’s) of Cleistanthus collinus (Roxb.) in Bhandara and Gondia District were studied. The maximum height and diameter was recorded in Murdoli-1 among 20 selected CTP’s. Garada-1, Murpar-1 and Murdoli-2 had nearly straight grain. Murdoli-1 recorded maximum percentage of bark and highest specific gravity of wood was noticed in Sonegaon-2. The maximum fiber length was observed in Sonegaon-2. The cold water solubility content of wood was recorded highest in Murdoli-1. The hot water solubility content of wood was recorded highest in Sonegaon-2. The alcohol-benzene solubility and lignin content of wood were recorded highest in Murdoli-1 and maximum holocellulose percentage recorded in Sonegaon-2. Highly significant and positive correlation was found between fiber length and holocellulose percentage. Highly significant and negative correlation was recorded between lignin content and holocellulose percentage.  

Key words: CTP’s, properties of wood
