Clonal variation of Dalbergia sissoo genetic resources

Experiments were carried out in twenty clones of Dalbergia sissoo genetic resources in clonal evaluation trial at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam to elicit the information on the variability using biometric attributes. Among 20 clones evaluated the clone FCRIDS18 was found to be superior in respect of growth attributes and hence the clone FCRIDS18 could be exploited for further tree improvement programme.
