Variation in physical characteristics of different provenances of teak, Tectona grandis L

Variation in physical traits viz height, diameter and grain angle of 30 provenances of teak in National Teak Germplasm Bank, Lohara, Chandrapur District (MS) was studied. Among different provenances of teak significant differences were noticed for all characters. The maximum height (28.60 m) and diameter (36.26 cm) were recorded in ORANR-2 and ORANR-6 respectively whereas the minimum height of 17.53 m was observed in MHSC-A2 and minimum diameter in APT-17 (20.50 cm). The maximum deviation of grain angle ie 5.34 (84.66 against 90°) with vertical axis was TNT-13.   The minimum deviation of 0.90° (89.10 against 90°) was recorded in APNPL-10.
