Simpson 1/3 rule based volume estimation of farm grown teak (Tectona grandis) in Cauvery delta zone

Abstract

We concerned Tectona grandis (teak) growth and yield estimation on Cauvery delta zone. Scientifically sound growth models, based on advanced modelling techniques are often not available, although they are necessary for the successful management of teak stands in the country meanwhile long-term forest planning requires mathematical model. In this paper we present different yield models with respect to optimum rotations of 4 to 24 years of growth, among that Simpson 1/3 rule model is giving more accuracy of the volume than the existing other models.
