Timber
production was measured in living fences planted in 1980
with Cedrela odorata trees, with a plating distance of 17 m
between trees and under no subsequent management. Attacks
by the stem borer of the Meliaceae (Hypsilla grandella
Zeller) were evident in the bifurcation commonly observed in
most trees. The srudy was conducted at CIC-JAP La Fe,
Ilama, Santa Bárbara at 750 m elev., 14° 59’ N and 88° 31’
W, with an annual rainfall of 2.800 mm y-1. Soils are highly
fertile with high exchangable bases content, organic matter
and micronutrients, withouth pH problems and a slope that
varies from 10 to 20%. The trees benefited from weed control
and fertilization of the coffee plantation to which they grew
associated. Average IMA height and diameter of trees were
1.09 m and 3.77 cm, resoectively, which are considered high
and represent an average of 20 y., an a production of 35.164
wood feet and an income of Lps of 316.476,00 at 386.804,00
as wood price on the farm (Lps 9.00 a 11,00 wood feet),
which constitutes extra income that does not affect coffee
production and takes advante of the internal roads in the farm.
