8.2.4 The following data on Khair heartwood weight has been obtained from above studies as published in
U.P.Forest Leaflet No.20, 1972.

(a) Rounding these values; the units for green fit trees in five diameter classes given above may be taken as
under and one unit may be said to yield 26 kilogram of dry katha.

(b) A fit tree is defined as one which is estimated to yield at least one sound log and apparently free from
fungus infection, holes, rots etc. It should be fit for the manufacture of katha, 2.44 meter long with a
minimum mid diameter over bark of not less than 3/4 of the diameter of the tree in question at breast
height. If it is not, then it will be treated as unfit.
8.2.5 The following data gives the number of trees per ha. based on the sample plot data of Ramnagar Forest
Division:

class as two units, each fit green sal tree of 20-30 cm. diameter class is taken as half unit. Unfit and dry tree are
ignored. Yield table of sal shows that the figures of outtrun in the round for all quality classes are roughly in the
proportion of 1:2:3:4 for diameter class over 30 cm. which is the basis for the above factors.

8.12 The statistics of growth and yield of the principal species found in the division have been compiled and
given in alphabetical order in table 8.29. These volume factors were issued to all the divisional forest officers of
state by Silviculturists (Hills) U.P., Nainital vide his letter No. 48/T-4-H-I, dated 5.7.1973. These volume factors
are applicable to the species found in the plains of U.P. These volume factors are applicable for Divisions also.
Timber volume factors applicable for various species.
