Abstract
The study was conducted in the irrigated plantation of Chichawatni, Pakistan, to measure the performance of four leguminous species (Parkinsonia aculeata, Albizzia lebbek, Leuceana leucocephala and Dalbergia sissoo) on planting with a fast growing species (Eucalyptus camaldulensis). Eight plants of E. camaldulensis were replicated thrice with same number of each leguminous tree species at a spacing of 2m x 3m. Plant height (m) and diametre at breast height (DBH) (ern) was measured from 1992 to 1998 of the four leguminous tree species. Results indicated that the performance of L. leucocephala and A. lebbek was better then other species. The growth of A. lebbek is slow in the earlier years but improves after the fourth year. Key Words: Leguminous trees, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, plant height, plant diametre
