The study was conducted to explore the growth performance of the 19 promising clones of poplar at 12 and 24 months after planting. Data were statistically analyzed for different growth parameters viz., colour of buds (after one month), total height, collar diameter, inter-nodal length, number of branches, volume index at first and second year. Taxonomic evaluation (colour of buds) revealed that the clonal characters further represent the source of germplasm from poplar of section Aigeirous. Results revealed that clone C-5 showed significantly better performance for total height, collar diameter, inter-nodal length and volume index, Clone C-7 and PL5 had a higher number of branches in comparison to other clones. Clones SOLAN-13, SOLAN-8 FRI-72, FRI-100 and WIMCO-62 were also found to be the promising clones for growth parameters. Clones C-5 showed better performance for all above mentioned growth characters over other clones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
