Clearfelling of natural stand and pure Teak plantation is the common practice followed in FDCM Ltd. in Maharashtra. After effect of clearfelling and resulting stand development pattern is not fully understood in case of Teak plantation. This paper presents the preliminary study on stand development patterns in a 25 years old Teak plantation and compared it with the natural stand (i.e. before clearfelling and plantation). Results indicate that stand development pattern in Teak plantation after clearfelling, approaches towards the natural stand as far as the Non-Teak : Teak ratio is concerned. These observations are important for study of stand-dynamics and for yield prediction.
