Abstract

Studies were undertaken for knowing the correlation among morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. In different climatic zones of Northern India. The results showed that morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters of Dalbergia sissoo clones showed positive correlation with each other at different sites viz. Lachhiwala (Dehra Dun), Lalkuwan (Haldwani) Bithmera (Hisar) and Pandhori Mindo Mind (Hoshiyarpur). Hence, for a successful tree improvement programme, screening and selection of the clones of this species must be based on their performance with respect to morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters collectively rather than the single parameter.
