“…This study shows that some treatments had better growth than the common commercial species on most sites. The growth results confirm to some extent the results of Hodge and Dvorak (2012) and Hongwane et al (2018) that there is a potential gain for 'new' species or hybrids. Pinus patula is the most widely planted pine species in two regions in this study (KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape).…”

“…Furthermore, P. tecunumanii and P. oocarpa are valued for their wood properties, P. caribaea and P. maximinoi for their rapid growth, and P. patula and P. greggii for their frost tolerance and ability to be planted at higher elevations (Dvorak, Gutierrez, et al, 2000). The ability to deploy these species in a variety of commercial settings, coupled with their ability to readily hybridize and produce viable offspring, has generated interest from breeders aiming to develop hybrid breeding populations for specific niche environments (Gwaze, 1999; Hongwane et al, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, the lower genetic diversity in the Mpumalanga S. noctilio population may reduce the ability of eggs to withstand the immense mechanical pressure during egg activation and adapt to laboratory conditions. In southern Africa, P. radiata and P. patula are extensively planted in the winter rainfall and summer rainfall regions, respectively [58]. The S. noctilio-infested logs used in Trial-2 WC were P. radiata (24 years old), and for Trial-2 MP were P. patula (12-16 years old).…”
