Abstract

Intercharacter correlation was analysed for eight growth characters in sixty clones of Populus deltoides under nursery conditions in three different environments. Strong positive correlation was observed among sprouting percentage, survival percentage, total height and basal diameter, invariably in all the three environments. Correlation coefficient indicated the feasibility of selection of clones simultaneous for low tapering and higher values of total height as well as basal diameter. The results obtained are discussed with the findings of other scientific workers.
