Dasometric evaluation of Tectona grandis L. f. plantations in the cantons of Balzar, Guayas and Pichincha, Manabí
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research was carried out to evaluate the dasometric development of Tectona grandis L. f. plantations in San Agustín farm, Balzar - Guayas, and Río Grande farm, Pichincha - Manabí, the objective was to evaluate dasometrically Tectona grandis plantations in Balzar, Guayas and Pichincha, Manabí. The object of study was established as Tectona grandis plantations, in the field study the descriptive method was applied, which allowed obtaining data related to the growth of diameter, height and volume, with a sampling intensity of 0.89% in the San Agustin farm and 0.75% in the Rio Grande farm, the plots in which the evaluations of the trees were carried out were square of 576 m2., which allowed determining the average annual increment of the trees, which allowed determining the average annual increase in diameter, height and volume in the period (2018 - 2019), which presented variations in the development of individuals, this was caused by inadequate silvicultural management, the soil is optimal for the growth of Tectona grandis in both farms because they are fertile soils.
