Forest trees posess behaviour similar to that of annual plants and other living organisms. Following the overwhelming success in plant breeding across the world, research programmes on tree breeding were also launched in forestry in the middle of the last century. Currently considerable knowledge has been generated in tree improvement, but there are only a limited number scientific publications collating all the available information. The Indian Council of ...
Tree improvement is achieved by clonal selection due to improvements in vegetable propagation techniques. The clonal propagation offers higher genetic gain than that is possible with seed propagation. The clonal technology facilititates rapid selection of outstanding genotypes from the clonal stocks of candidate trees for the exploitation of heterosis. The literature available on vegetative propagation is very extensive and not easily accessible. Hence this book ...
Self reliance in energy is vital for the economic development of any nation. The alternate source of energy that is renewable, safe and non-polluting assumes top priority in view of the shrinking "Natural Fossil Fuel". More than 100 different tree born oilseeds are available in India as well as in the world, which can be exploited for extraction of oil. At present, increasing interest has been arising across the country towards the utility sorghum and ...
