Abstract. Various linear measurements were made on 115 provenances of Sesbania sesban var.
nubica to establish their relationships with woody and leafy biomass yields of the trees after
a year's undisturbed growth. Data were subjected to simple and multiple linear regression
analyses. There were significant (P < 0.001) correlations in most cases but particularly so
with leafy and total biomass where over 50% of the variations were accounted for by their
regression on stem diameter at knee height (DKH). When data for dependent variables were
logarithimically transformed, better regression coefficients (over 60%) were obtained for stem
diameter at breast height (DBH) and DKH.
