This trial, located in Kyaukpadaung Township, Mandalay Division, has been abandoned. Soon after trial establishment in 1996, railroad construction was carried out and two blocks of trial had to be moved. When seedlings were replanted, there was not enough moisture in the soil, and the seedlings did not survive.
