| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between pine species and amount of resin produced. Two plots were established in compartment C02 at Kikonda forest reserve. 40 trees were tapped for resin for a period of six weeks using the Chinese method of resin tapping. Basing on the results from this study, the highest amount of resin (51.1%) was collected from Pinus caribaea. A positive weak correlation (0.217) was observed between tree diameter and amount of resin collected. The mean amount of resin collected during the Tree diameter (5598 g) was higher than that of the dry season (3087.13 g) signifying that resin production increased during the wet season than in the dry season. Therefore, more resin tapping should be done during and after the rainy season as resin yield increases during the rainy season | en_US |
