Abstract

The effect of the density was evaluated in the development of trees of Tectona grandis L.F., Cordia megalantha S.F. Blake, Cybistax donnell smithii Rose and Triplaris cumingiana Fisch. & Mey. in permanent parcels established in 1997, in “La Represa” farm. The major growth in diameter was obtained to the density of 123 trees ha-1 (spacing: 9 x 9 m). The species that reached major diametric growth in this spacing was the Teak with 36.53 cm, continued by Guayacan with 33.80 cm. The trees registered a major volume average (m3) in the spacing 9 x 9 m. However, in the four studied species there is a major volume for hectare at the spacing of 6 x 6 m, due to the major number of trees for hectare. The species that presented major volume average was the Teak with 1.076 m3 and the minor volume average registered in Laurel with 0.316 m3.
