| Title : | VARIATION IN GROWTH AMONG PROVENANCES OF PINUS BRUTIA IN A 32-YEAR-OLD EXPERIMENT FROM SOUTHERN TURKEY |
| Abstract : | The provenance trial established by seedlings of 46 seed sources of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) was investigated based on 32-year-old tree height and diameter at breast height in this study. Averages of tree height, and diameter at breast height were 9.32 m, 17.9 cm, respectively, while there were large differences among provenances and within provenance for the characters. Tree height varied between 7.04 m and 10.62 m, and diameter at breast height ranged from 14.48 cm to 21.46 cm in the provenances. Results of analysis of variance showed significant (p≤0.05) differences among provenances for the characters. Block, and block x provenance interaction were also significant (p≤0.05) for the characters. Provenances were more homogenous for diameter at breast height than tree height based on results of Duncan’s multiple range tests. There was positive and significant (r=0.74, p<0.05) relations between height and diameter at breast height. The results showed importance of the provenance and local forestry practices in the species. |
