Abstract
Two trials were conducted to assess the growth performance of thirteen woody medicinal tree species planted in the year 2015 and 2018 at two different sites respectively named Baherchar and Haridrakhali of Rangabali Upazila under Patuakhali district (western coastal belt). Data on survival, height, diameter at breast height (dbh), collar diameter, stem length and number of branches was recorded from 3.5 years and 1.5 years old two trial plantations. At Baherchar site highest survival was recorded for Arjun (90%) followed by Khoier (81%), Kadam (73%), Kalojam (70%), Bohera (60%) and Shimul (60%). The highest height was recorded for Kadam (10.09m) followed by Khoier (6.72m), Gora neem (5.54m), Shimul (4.15), Arjun (3.55m) and Horitaki (3.31m). The greater dbh was also recorded for Kadam (8.57cm). The highest stem length was found in Kadam (6.89m). The greater number of branches was found in Gora neem (5). At Horidrakhali site the result revealed that the highest survival was recorded for Arjun (100%), Katbadam (100%), Pitraj (100%) and Punial (100%). The highest height was recorded in Khoier (2.97m). The highest collar diameter was observed in Satiyan (3.81cm). Considering the survival, height and diameter growth, Khoier, Arjun, Gora neem, Satiyan, Shimul, Punial, Pitraj, Horitaki, Sonalu, Katbadam, Kadam and Kalojam were found promising and suitable for planting in the raised lands of the western coastal belt of Bangladesh.
Key Words: Medicinal tree, Plantation, Survival, Growth performance, Rangabali and Coastal belt
