The objective of the study was to determine suitable plantation establishment method for planting of Michelia mediocris and Cinnamomum obtusifolium in Vietnam.
The study was conducted in silvicultural trials and plantations of these species in Phu Tho, Thanh Hoa and Gia Lai provinces.
The results showed non-significant differences in growth of the two species in pure stands and mixed stands either with other native species or Acacia mangium. C. obtusifolium had poor performance in the line-mixed stands with A. mangium or in individual-mixed stands with Lithocarpus fissus. In the band-mixed stand with A. mangium, growth of these species in bands of 20 m wide was significantly better than that in the bands of 10 m wide.
The findings from this study will contribute toward increasing knowledge for successful plantation development of these two species.
