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 ...
To meet the challenges posed by agriculture and to fill the gap in our knowledge on seed technology, this book is a special contribution. The book contains a wealth of information on seed hardening, pelleting and coating. The subject material is presented in seven parts. The first part of this book deals with seed, soil, water and nutrient management technologies for sustainable production in rainfed and gardenland systems. The second part is highlighted with ...
The forest area in most of the countries is declining at an alarming rate and efforts must be immediately taken to increase the production of forest trees. The use of good quality seeds is an absolute necessity which involves the implementation of the advanced forest tree seed technologies. Hence, this volume is edited with the objective to provide knowledge on the aspects of forest tree seed technology and management. This volume has a ...
