Abstract
The increasing output of agroforestry can be achieved by optimizing and improving its wood product. Mindi (Melia azedarach L.) is one of the fast-growing species planted in traditional agroforestry in Cangkringan, Sleman, Yogyakarta. In this field observation and literature study, the physical and mechanical properties of Mindi wood and the calorific value of the wood waste were evaluated. Finally, the allowable tension (safe load) from Mindi wood for practice application has been calculated. The result indicates that the wood of Mindi is suitable for building construction and furniture material. Its differential shrinkage is in the same range as Teak wood. The allowable tension of Mindi Wood is higher than Quercho blanco wood from Sud America. Furthermore, wood waste of Mindi is suitable for heating material and torrefaction effort will improve its calorific value. Due to its fast growth, good stem quality and its low shading effect of the canopy Mindi is recommended for agroforestry development. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
