Collaborative project: Development and implementation of biotechnological processes for breeding, production and use of high-potential varieties of selected tree species, Sub-project 2: Procurement of basic material, acclimatisation and growing of young plants as well as clone testing and implementation (Larch-Douglas-Fir)
Project
Project code: 22014918
Contract period: 01.01.2019
- 31.12.2020
Budget: 350,125 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: larch, Douglas fir, fir, hybrids, propagation, renewable ressources
The overall objective is to develop a process chain suitable for practical application for clonal mass propagation of high-performance varieties of the selected tree species (hybrid larch, Douglas fir, fir hybrids). The relevant biotechnological process steps are available and should be optimized with regard to their economic efficiency. Extensive field tests serve to select elite clones that are eligible for approval for clone mixtures of the respective species. In the case of hybrid larch, the aim is to put the developed process into practice in a tree nursery company. In order to expand the spectrum of tree species, a clone collection of selected fir hybrids of forestry interest is to be established, just as for hybrid larch and Douglas fir. Subproject 2 is dealing with the procurement of basic material for in-vitro-propagation, the acclimatisation and the growing of in-vitro propagated plants, the phenotyping and testing of the clones produced as well as with activities to implement the results to agriculture and forestry including the establishment of pilot plots for the reforestation of openings caused by calamities.
