Summary |
"This project was developed with the aim of identifying and initiating the genetic improvement of eucalypt species and hybrids with potential as commercial hardwood tree crops in the 650?900 mm rainfall zone in northern Australia. The project builds on the Queensland Forestry Research Institute?s species-site matching trials recently established on selected marginal areas (Lee et al., 2001), using some eucalypt hybrids developed overseas. The study reported here developed controlled pollination and vegetative propagation skills, planted a genetic resource of E. camaldulensis, a potentially valuable parent of Eucalyptus hybrids, and commenced the testing of a selection of eucalypt species and hybrids on marginal areas in northern Australia."--P. vi |
