Abstract: A study on the silvicultural techniques and management measuresof Leucaena leucocephala fuelwood plantations has been made since 1 99 1.The stand of Leucaena leucocephala was investigated in an all-round way on April 10,1 994 whenthe stand was 32 months old The data collected from this investigation have been studiedwith statistical analyses,and the resuIts show as follows:1.Established in the river valleyareas of Dongchuan,the Leucaena leucocephala plantations grow very well with a surviv-al rate over 96% after being planted by means of pot cuItivation of seedlings and landpreparation with fosses of 60 cm by 60 cm,and with a density of 2 m by 1 m. 2.As oneof the species for fuelwood plantations,Leucaena leucocephala is characterized os a fastgrowing species which produces high yield fuelwood with high calorific value. Inaddition,the best effects have also come out of the experiment on short-term rotationswith 1 0-cm-high stumps treated with saws and 1 00-cm-high stumps treated with chop-pers.
