Author(s): Shikha Thakur, Sanjeev Thakur, SK Jha and Dushyant Sharma
Abstract: The present study was conducted to evaluate early growth performance of 49 international clones of Populus deltoides under mid hills conditions of Himachal Pradesh. The clones were procured from clonal selections from various sources of USA and planted under Randomized Block Design (RBD) in experimental farm of Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. One year growth was recorded and analyzed for height, diameter and genetic parameters. Significant variation was recorded for diameter and height growth among different clones. Both diameter and height growth traits showed moderate values for heritability and genetic advance indicating good scope of early selection for these traits in these clones. Clones 9000, 6503, 4400, 200 and T-81 were found best in terms of evaluated traits.
