EUCALYPTUS CLONES

Greenhouse
-
Selection
of outstanding candidate plus trees (CPTs) with most desirable qualities for
cloning.
-
Cloning
of the CPTs through rooting of juvenile cuttings from coppice shoots under
controlled environment
in Green Houses, shade houses and high-tech
root trainer nurseries and
maintaining the separate identity of each clone at all stages.

COPPICE SHOOTS IN GENE BANKS

Greenhouse
-
Establishment of gene banks
or clonal multiplication areas for each clone.
-
Field
testing of these clones through replicated trials on different soil types
for their comparative evaluation
and selection of genetically superior clones for large scale clonal
multiplication for field plantations.
-
Productivity of these clones is 2 to 3 times higher compared to normal
seedlings leading to bumper
increase in profitability and large scale adoption of clonal plantations.
-
Control pollination of
outstanding clones to develop intra-specific and inter specific
hybrids
of Eucalyptus tereticornis and eucalyptus camaldulensis.

evaluation of these hybrid seedlings and
cloning of
outstanding trees showing good heterosis.
