The study was undertaken to estimate the amount of genetic variability present in different root characters of selected clones of Poplar. Significant values of Mean Sum of Squares for different root characters depict good scope for their improvement. All the root characters exhibited higher values for phenotypic co-efficient of variation (PCV) over the GCV, indicating environmental effect on these characters.
