Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate adaptation and performance of six eucalypt species and provenances under sewage irrigation in arid condition. For this reason, a trial was conducted in 2007 and continued to 2014 in a site located 5 km north east of Qom city in Iran, near sewage release station under statistical design of Randomized Complete Blocks with four replicates, six treatments and 5 × 5 m spacing. Sewage was used for irrigation at one week interval for four years, continued at rainfed condition. The treatments consisted of Six eucalypt species and provenances, including: Eucalyptus camaldulensis Qom, E. camaldulensis 41-ch, E. camaldulensis 41-zh, E. microtheca 62-Qom, E. microtheca 62-Ahwaz and E. rubida 166-sh. Growth and morphological parameters consisted of: total height, diameter at breast height, survival, height increment, diameter increment at breast height and height/diameter ratio. Tree inventory was made at two times per year: spring (after cold period) and autumn (after warm and dry season). Data were analyzed, using variance analysis and Duncan test methods. E. camaldulensis species achieved a high survival and growth values, whereas E. rubida species achieved the worst values. E. microtheca, particularly the 62-Qom provenance obtained a greatest survival value (100%).
