Provenance trial of falcata (Paraserianthes falcataria) in Surigao del Sur

摘要

The study determined the performance of 14 provenances and two land races of Paraserianthes falcataria planted in Surigao del Sur. The provenance trial was laid out in complete randomized design with three trees per plot replicated 15 times. Seven years after planting, the Solomon Island provenance was significantly better in terms of diameter growth compared with the other provenances. However, in terms of height growth and survival, Solomon Island provenance was not significantly different from other promising sources such as PICOP white and PICOP pink land races and PNG and Bosnik provenances.
