abstract = "Survivality and growth performance of jarul (Lagerstroemia speciosa L.) in the raised land of less saline water zone or oligohaline (salinity ranges from0-5 ppt) in the sundarbans was conducted by the Mangrove Silviculture Division of the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute. Total 0.19 ha experimental plantations were raised in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) at 1.om × 1.0m, 1.5m × 1.5m, 2.0m × 2.0m spacing in three replications with nine plots at Bogi Forest Research Station in the Sundarbans in 1993. The mean survival (%) was found 87%, 77% and 73% respectively for each replication and total survival percentage (%) was found 79% which indicates that this area is suitable for the plantation of that species. The total height (m) were found 15.19 ± 0.44, 14.62 ± 0.42, 15.37 ± 0.19 and DBH (cm) were found 16.40 ± 1.01, 16.22 ± 1.84, 17.49 ± 0.88 as well as the MAI were found for height (m) 0.58, 0.56, 0.59 and DBH (cm) 0.63, 0.62, 0.67 respectively in the different spacing. On the other hand CV at different spacing was 5.07, 4.99, 2.09 for height and 10.71, 19.69, 8.69 for DBH. From the analysis of ANOVA (The calculated values F.05 (2) = 1.14 for height and F.05 (2) = 0.28 for DBH), showed that there is insignificant differences in the total height (m) and DBH (cm) of species in different replication. So it can be concluded that Jarul (Lagerstroemia speciosa L) species can be planted at less saline zone considering medicinal values, aesthetic values, biodiversity point of view, climate resilient coastal afforestation, to enhance vegetation coverage and after all to accelerate sustainable livelihood pattern adjacent to the local communities in the Sundarbans.
