Siddiqi, N.A.
A trial with five mangrove species namely, Heritiera fomes, Excoecaria agallocha, Sonneratia apetala, Avicennia officinalis and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and six mainland species namely, Albizia lebbeck, Samanea saman, Swietenia macrophylla, Leucaena leucocephala, Cassia siamea and Acacia nilotica was carried out in a raised non-commercial cover area of the sundarbans to observe their survival and growth performance. The mangrove species were found to be unsuitable. Animal damage was substantial to mainland species and fencing had significant impact on survivality, except for A. nilotica. C. siamea, S. saman and A. nilotica showed better performance than other species.
