The Eucalyptus tereticonenis Sm plantations in Sengeerai-Arimatam and Rajendram river padugai regions showed variation not only in the growth of the seedling plantation but also in the coppice productivity. While the range in the per month growth rate of former seedling plantation varied from 0.27 cm to 0.82 cm, it was from 0.54 to 148 cm In the latter. The possibility of obtaining coppice wood yield in the padugai region in about half to two thirds the period required under semi-arid situation is indicated,. The usefulness of including the selection for coppice potential besides superior seedling crop production in the breeding programme for evolving high yielding strains has been indicated.
