Abstract

Field trial comprising of fifteen provenances of Populus ciliata Wall. ex Royle was carried out during 1997 at Solang Nallah, Manali (Himachal Pradesh). The study was performed in a Randomized complete Block Design with three replications so as to find the suitable provenance for carrying out afforestation activities in the region and also from agro-forestry point of view. Significant differences with respect to growth performance were observed amongst various provenances. Based on the overall growth in respect of height and diameter provenances, viz. Mussoorie and Kullu Gushani had shown better performance over the remaining provenances under trial. These two provenances have therefore, been recommended for large-scale plantation in Manali region of Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh.
