Dear "a1de:" Errors in your post # 300
For seed grown teak by TATF:
The 13,971 bf per 100 trees over 25 years on 3m X 3m or 1,111 trees per hectare--yields
366.1 m3/ha over 25 yrs. This is a MAI of 14.6 m3/ha/yr; well within what Centeno writes.
Where did your 23.3 MAI come from?
Centano's article was written 13 years ago and does not include any data from teak clones, which are cloned from the best of the best teak trees.
For 14-yr Teak clones:
The 11,970 bf per 100 trees over 14 years, planted 3m X 3m or 1,111 trees per hectare--yields 313.6 m3/ha over 14 years. This ia a MAI of 22.4 m3/ha/yr; a touch higher than Centeno's max, which did not cover clones.
Where did your 37.8 MAI come from?
For 20-year clones:
The 18,730 bf per 100 trees over 20 years, planted 3m X 3m, or 1,111 trees per hectare--yields 490.8 m3/ha over 20 years.
This is a MAI of 24.5 m3/ha/yr; this is 11.4% higher than Centeno's max but, again, Centano's article was written 13 years ago and includes no data from teak clones, which are cloned from the best of the best teak trees.
From where did you get 39.6 MAI?
