A Study of Growth Adaptability of Rosewood and Teak in the Dry-hot Valley regions
In order to assess the growth adaptability of rosewood and teak in dry-hot valley regions, seedlings from Guangdong province were planted, the growth parameters such as survival percentage, basal diameter, tree height and net photosynthetic rate were determined, and the relative data were analyzed. The results showed that rosewood might adapt to the climate in dry-hot valley regions, which was possible to perform better if artificial tending and fertilizer management were applied in early planting stage. Teak worked badly in dry-hot valley regions contrarily, whose growth was limited, and its reasonable planting measures needed to be explored.
