The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is constantly rising from the advent of the industrial revolution. Today it has reached to the 390ppm i.e. about 004% in atmosphere. The plantations are seen as one of the measures to mitigate these rising levels of CO2. Teak plantations are now utilised as carbon storage projects in many tropical countries. Present study screens the methods of measuring the biomass of the bole of teak plant. The bole of the tree harvested having diameter of 4.3 cm at the breast height of the tree. The biomass of the bole was calculated by directly oven drying and by usingallometric equations specific for the bole. The carbon content was measured based on the conventions of IPCC. By comparing both the values it was found that both differ by slight variations.
