Abstract

In this study Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) wood samples were collected from twelve districts of Rajasthan -Baran, Barmer, Bhilwara, Bikaner, Jaipur, Jhalawar, Kota, Nagaur, Rajsamand, Sikar, Sri Ganganagar and Tonk for analyzing anatomical features. The results revealed that the vessel length (0.195 mm), vessel diameter (0.153 mm), fibre length (1.017 mm) and fibre diameter (20.237 µm) in the Shisham wood were significantly highest from Jhalawar district of Rajasthan.Among different locations, the vessel frequency in Shisham wood was highest (7 per mm2) from Nagaur district of Rajasthan. Among different districts of Rajasthan, wood samples obtained from Jhalawar district showeddesirable anatomical properties that may be best suited for the wood industry.
