yield than the control. Four level doses of FYM and urea treatment. At the
different weeks after transplanting (WAT) the highest plant height (29.20 cm,
40.33 cm, 58.53 cm, 75.01 cm and 101.75 cm) was recorded in FYM4 treatment.
Whereas at the same WAT the lowest plant height (24.91 cm, 34.70 cm, 50.09 cm,
65.97 cm and 91.20 cm) was observed from control. The longest leaf length (21.91 cm, 27.77 cm,
40.61 cm, 36.59 cm, and 32.71 cm) was recorded in FYM-4 treatment at different
weeks after transplanting. Whereas the
shortest leaf length (17.53 cm, 23.80 cm, 33.57 cm, 31.24 cm and 29.65 cm) was
observed in control at the same WAT. Leaf
length of four levels of urea treatments compared with four levels of FYM
observed that FYM-3 and FYM-4 treatments were significantly highest effect on
leaf length of the other treatments at 5% and 1% level respectively. Grain
weight, produced by four levels of urea treatments and four levels of FYM
treatments were compared to control. It was observed that grain weight of four
levels of urea and FYM treatments were significantly higher over the grain
weight of control. The highest grain weight (28.38 gm) was observed in FYM-4
treatment and followed by FYM-3, FYM-2, FYM-1, U-4, U-3, U-2 and U-1 (25.68 g,
25.62 g, 23.98 g, 23.82 g, 23.60 g, 22.19 g, 22.13 g) respectively. The present

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF NATURAL FOREST IN TAWMA VILLAGE, MEIKTILA TOWNSHIP
ABSTRACT
Species composition and quantitative
analysis were carried out from October, 2014 to January, 2015 in Tawma village,
Meiktila Township. There were 10 quadrats (the size ranging from 7 x 7 m to 8 x
7 m depending on the site condition) in the study area. For assessment of plant
species diversity, species richness and evenness were calculated by Shannon –
Wiener’s index (H), Simpson index (D) and Jackknife estimate. The quantitative
analyzed for abundance, density and frequency according to the methods given by
Curtis and McIntosh (1950). The important value index ( IVI) for tree species
was also calculated based on the summation of the relative percentage values of
density, frequency and dominace as per the method of Curtis (1959). Depend upon
the IVI value, Leucaena leucocephala
(Lam.) DC. Wit. (Baw sa kaing) and Tamarindus
indica L. (Magyi) are the ecological
successful species in study area. In this research, the information and
