Root Habits of Eucalyptus - some Observations

The paper details the ischolar_main habits of Eucalyptus grown in isolation in pots and in a community In large sized lysimeters and in the plantation. Different ischolar_main habits were observed. In general, ischolar_mains avoid the path taken by existing ischolar_mains. Environment especially bulk density of the soli mass exerts a profound influence upon the ischolar_maining pattern. No interspecific or intraspecific ischolar_main grafting was observed but self-grafting was noticed in Eucalyptus hybrid ischolar_mains. The observations discussed in the paper are not exhaustive but indicative of the ischolar_main habits, this Species is capable of adopting. Considering the vast area, different soli types and agro-climatic zones, where Eucalyptus grows and managed by the differing silvicultural practices, the studies need to be taken up on widespread area. Tbe studies assume an added importance considering the large scale planting of Eucalyptus spp. In agro-forestry and social forestry.
