Teak (Tectona grandis L.) has great stability in changing environments and is resistant to degradation by biotic and abiotic agents. For these reasons, its wood is considered one of the most valuable in the world. The objective of this study was to estimate the value of teak timber in Cordoba, Colombia. Permanent circular plots were used. The commercial value of the potential timber production in each plot were estimated based on the age, quality and size of logs, volume (by diameter class), potential use and transport. The results showed that trees at the field El Limon (San Antero). with the highest volume of timber production, had the lowest commercial value (67.5%). The highest commercial value was found in Guazimal (Canalete), with a decrease in the real value of 56.7%. The diameter of the trees was the most important factor on the commercial value of the trees, this suggest that it is very important to improve the selection of the planting material and the management of the crop. This paper shows the current value of teak plantations in the department of Córdoba and it will be as a reference point for future research in this area. |
