“…Tanzania provenances (land races) showed better growth performance than those from other countries, implying compatibility with the natural climatic conditions (Černý et al, 2023). In addition, the superior performance of local land races has been shown in other species (Mwihomeke et al, 2002). Some provenances, such as those from Indonesia, demonstrated superior growth in Dbh and Ht (Table 5), indicating their potential for high-yield plantations and quality wood production.…”

Article InfoImportance of the work: Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) is of significant economic importance. It was introduced to Tanzania in the early 20 th century for commercial purposes. However, there is limited available information regarding the growth performance of teak seeds obtained from various localities. Objectives: To assess the performance of teak provenances at Longuza Forest Plantation, Tanzania. Materials & Methods:The study employed a randomized complete block design with eight replications, each consisting of six trees, to evaluate 12 provenances of 11-yearold teak trees from 41 families. These trees were planted in the same area with similar climatic conditions. The assessment parameters included survival, diameter at breast height (1.3 m above the base) over bark (Dbh), total tree height (Ht), basal area at breast height (BA), total tree above ground volume (Vol) and the mean annual increment (MAI). The statistical analysis was performed using SAS ® software version 9.4 and its Rank procedures. Results: There were no significant (p > 0.05) differences in survival among the tested provenances. However, highly significant (p <0.0001) differences were observed for Dbh,

“…A trial at Lushoto, Tanzania, with 21 provenances from Indonesia and seven landrace seedlots, established in 1997, revealed significant provenance and landrace variation. At 2 years of age, the four best-performing provenances were Mount Bromo, East Java; Mount Pohan, Bali; KARI, Muguga, Kenya, and Mount Brumo, East Java, whereas the four worst performers were Kapan Kupang, Timor; 25 km SW of Soe, Timor; Noelmina River, Timor, and Buat Soe, Timor (Mwihomeke et al 2002). The provenance test of C. junghuhniana in Taiwan has shown that the high-mountain seedlots grow well at the mountain sites of Dona and Taimalee, whereas the lowland seedlots are suited for coastal sites.…”

Casuarina junghuhniana Miq., introduced into India in 1996, is gaining importance as an agroforestry species, with potential use in pulp and paper industry. Tree improvement of the species and attempts at clonal forestry are in progress. A hybrid of Casuarina equisetifolia L. and C. junghuhniana, introduced in 1951 from Thailand, is also planted in India, with the wrong identity as Casuarina junghuhniana. The present paper reviews the silviculture and tree improvement of the species, especially the attempts at introduction to various parts of the world by CSIRO, Australia, with special reference to India. The paper also attempts to resolve the confusion between the hybrid and the pure species, among the planting agencies in India.
