Chemical Properties and Fiber Dimension of Eucalyptus pellita from The 2nd Generation of Progeny Tests in Pelaihari, South Borneo, Indonesia

Abstract: Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell is one of pulp woods that is being developed through breeding plantation programs in Indonesia. The research aimed at exploring the chemical and morphological characteristics of fiber, and to determine the rank of plus trees from 4 provenances based on the suitability for pulps. The materials included the plus trees of E. pellita (9 years) from the 2nd generation of progeny tests in Pelaihari, South Borneo. Wood properties under investigation included the chemical properties and mor… Show more

“…The productivity of commercial E. pellita in Sumatra is around 16-18 m³/ha/year (Hardwood and Nambiar 2014). E. pellita wood has physical and chemical properties in the form of holocellulose content (75%), alpha-cellulose (49%), lignin content (29%), ethanol content (3.08%), and fiber length of 1.02 mm (Lukmandaru et al 2016) suitable as raw material for pulp and paper industry. E. pellita shows the characteristics of well growing and prominent wood characteristic compare to the other two species, namely E. grandis and E. urophylla (Prasetyo et al 2017).…”

“…Laju pergantiannya mencapai 50.000 ha/tahun dan pada tahun 2016-2017 sebanyak 600.000 ha lahan sudah ditanami E. pellita yang sebelumnya A. mangium (Nambiar, Harwood and Mendham, 2018). Pemilihan spesies E. pellita sebagai pengganti disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya: karena sifatnya yang cepat tumbuh, rotasi pendek, batang lurus, toleransi yang tinggi terhadap berbagai jenis tanah dan lokasi tumbuh serta lebih tahan terhadap hama dan penyakit (Lukmandaru et al, 2016). Namun demikian produktivitas E. pellita masih rendah dibandingkan dengan A. mangium.…”

“…In recent decades, forestry plantation in Indonesia has become a large-scale industry producing timber and wood pulp on more than 5 million hectares. On mineral soils, these plantations are based on Eucalyptus pellita, as a source of pulp and paper products [2,3]. Eucalyptus pellita grows rapidly, with a straight stem, and has high tolerance to various soil types and high resistance to pests and diseases [4].…”
