 ABSTRACT

In the present investigation the physical properties of Eucalyptus hybrid clones. The study was carried out in the Laboratory of College of Forestry, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during the period 2017-2018. In the study the tree were harvested at the stump height and wood dices of 2 cm height are cut from the basal portion of the tree from fine section representing five year growth approximately and labeled as 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th, 5th yr respectively. The experiment resulted mean density (33.20 %) and specific gravity (0.95) is more in Titlagrah in comparison to density (31.80 %) and specific gravity (0.89) of Bissamcuttack. The result indicates its utility as preferred raw material for pulp and paper making.
