Abstract
Assam is bestowed with varied agro-climatic zones and mean annual rainfall varying from 1500 mm to 3750 mm and its favourable temperature offers diversified agro-climatic habitats for the growth of various economically important plants. There are a very few economically important crops, which can be cultivated without disturbing the native flora and have the prospective to establish as cash crops under the suitable climatic condition of Assam. Princes tree (Paulownia tomentosa) is one such timber yielding plant which is identified to yield good quality timber and very well adapted to the climatic pattern in Assam. To study the regionalization possibilities of this species in the Assam climacteric conditions seedlings of P. tomentosa were planted in 2014 in the University campus of Assam down Town University in a distance of 1 x 1 m. The plant has been grown on an experimental basis and the seedlings were obtained from Australia. This study mainly enlighten on the ecophysiological and floristic study of this plant under Assam climatic conditions. Paulownia tomentosa is capable of growing, adapting and developing in less fertile soils and it is proved to be an ideal tree for improving and reclaiming polluted and degraded soils. This article deals with the preliminary data of the regionalization performance of this high energetic value crop.
