Online published on 26 February, 2013. Abstract In the present Investigation dielectric behaviour of wood of species such as Mangifera indicia(Mango), Azadirachita Indica (Neem), Ficus religious (Peepaltree), Casuarinaceae (Casuarina), Murraya Koenigii (Curry Tree) Dielectric constant, dielectric loss, electrical conductivity and resistivity of the samples were measured at their different physiological conditions such as fresh and oven dried. A significant variation in dielectric parameters is observed with respect to species as well as physiological conditions. Macrostructure variations in wood have been analyzed on the basis of variations in the above parameters measured in different physiological conditions.
