Investigation of the clone by site interactions of poplar and willow on agricultural sites throughout Germany - Project Phase II (ProLoc)

Project


Project code: TI-FG-08-PID1551
Contract period: 01.05.2012 - 01.04.2015
Purpose of research: Applied research

Poplars and willows are especially suitable for the production of energy wood in form of wood chips in short rotation periods. However, their site-specific productivity and with that the profitability evaluations of specific cultivars are not sufficiently precisely possible. In all representative German regions (suitable for SRC) under a common field-design and data evaluation scheme the yields of different poplar and willow cultivars are to be tested. Field test design and culturing will follow best-practices rules. Two willow clones (Inger and Tordis) and three poplar clones (Max 1, Hybrida 275, AF2) will be planted in the trial sites thoughout Germany.
