ABSTRACT
The present study aimed at development of growth and yield prediction models for hybrid acacia using simultaneous equation method. Models were selected for the species to estimate the stand height, stand dominant height, stand diameter, stand basal area per hectare and total volume yield per hectare. Paired t-test, 45-degree line test, percent absolute deviation and biological principle of stand development were used for the validation of chosen models. The results suggest that the models derived were statistically and biologically acceptable and could be satisfactorily used for stands of Hybrid Acacia of ages 4-7 years based on a base age of 6 years in the central region of Bangladesh.
