Abstract
The growth, biomass production and productivity of Eucalyptus tereticornis andE. camaldulensis in a Provenance Trial under lateritic soil conditions of West Bengal have been studied. The suitability indices of the provenances of two species were also worked out. Consistently flteady performance of E. tereticornis than E. camaldulensis was observed. On sample tree basis few provenances of E. camaldulensis produced more organic matter than those of E. tereticornis. Kennedy River, 20 km N Mt. Molly and Mitchell River of E. tereticornis and Gilbert River, Emu Creek Nt Petford and Ferguson River of E. camaldulensis showed greatest potential for large scale plantation in lateritic belts.
