Abstract

Studies on the growth performance on five (5) selected indigenous trees species of Azadirachta excelsa, Cinnamomum iners, Hopea pubescens, Intsia palembanica and :shorea leprosula under open area planting technique on secondary forest area were carried out in Pasoh Forest Reserve Area. Negeri Sembilan. Evaluation on the growth of these species was performed nine years after planting. An experimental design of Randomized Complete Block Design was adapted. The results showed that the growth increments of species planted for diameter at breast height (DBH) ranged from 0.97cm/year to 1.06cm/year with A. excelsa attaining the highest survival rate followed by S.leprosula and the lowest was recorded by I. palembanica. A. excelsa exhibited the highest growth increment in terms of height, followed by S. leprosula and the lowest was recorded for C. iner.Result indicates that some indigenous species can be adapted to rehabilitate secondary forest area.
