Evaluation of Physico���Chemical Properties of Teak (Tectona grandis L.)

This book will help to determine the value of wood because of its physico–chemical properties. The physico-chemical properties of wood are the important parameters for the preliminary characterization of cellulose raw material and its potentiality for pulp and paper fuel wood timber and for certain other non- timber products for their related uses. The species containing large amount of extractives. Wood extractives are directly related to durability dimensional stability and plasticization of wood. Correlation study will helpful in indirect selection of candidate plus tree for tree improvement program.
