Abstract
Thinnings from a 15-year-old eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) a groforestry plantation in SW Missouri (USA) were evaluated to determin e the influence of cropping practices on wood quality. Growth rate was found to be strongly affected by weed control and cropping practices while specific gravity and fiber length (measured in selected stems) w ere found to be weakly affected.
