CHARCOAL RECOVERY FROM Prosopis juliflora FUELWOOD AND ROOTSTOCK

Abstract

                                Studies on charcoal recovery from fuelwood billets of different dia classes (<2.5 cm, 2.6 to 4.5 cm, 4.6 to 6.5 cm, 6.6 to 8.5 cm, 8.6 to 10.5 cm and >10.5 cm) as well as from the rootstocks (10.5 cm dia) of Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC revealed that charcoal recovery increased with the increase in diameter of fuelwood billets. Comparing the charcoal recovery per cent between the fuelwood billets and root stock of P juliflora of the same dia class (>10.5 cm), the charcoal recovery was more from rootstocks than fuelwood billets.
