Hybrid clone 2070 - age 3 years

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.

Clone - age 2 yrs old - intercrop sugarcane

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

Nearly 7.5 million clonal plants of Eucalyptus are being planted by farmers in Punjab, Haryana, U.P. & Uttarakhand every year.
Average productivity of these clones at 5 years rotation is 20 to 25 m3/ha/yr.
Very high productivity of 50 m3 /ha/yr has been obtained by many farmers who planted these unique clones.
