บทคัดย่อ :
Acacias are of considerable social and industrial importance for tropical reforestation, with
about 2 million ha worldwide. The last few decades have seen a major expansion of
plantations for industrial use, especially in South-East Asia. Both native and exotic species of
Acacia are also widely grown in the Indian sub-continent. Turnbull et al. (1998) reviewed the
status of tropical acacia plantations in Asia.
The species which have been most widely planted so far in industrial plantations in South-East
Asia are Acacia mangium Willd. and A. auriculiformis Cunn. ex Benth. A. crassicarpa
Cunn. ex Benth. and A. aulacocarpa Cunn. ex Benth. provenance and species trials have been
established in many locations throughout the region to provide options for future hardwood
plantations. Commercial plantings of A. crassicarpa have recently been established in
Indonesia.
