Abstract

Correlation among the different trees and between different sites through morphological, mineral nutrients and proximate principles were studies and worked out in Grewia laevigata Vahl in Shiwalik hills of Himiachal Pradesh falling in the districts of Solan and Sirmour. The study revealed that out of 130 correlations between morphological, mineral nutients and proximate principles, one positive and highly significant and one negative and highly significant were found. Rest of all other correlations were non-significant. Thus selection of elite tress among different populations at different locations is pre-requisite basic tool in this species for future breeding programme.
