The results of the study showed that it is technically feasible to harvest for veneer production the 3, 5, and 7-year old Falcata trees which grew from known/certified seed sources. However, depending on the tree age and diameter, falcata tree may be processed as corestock veneer only as in the case of the 3-year old …
Low timber production of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes) plantations in the Philippines can be attributed to the use of planting materials from poor quality seed sources. To achieve optimum plantation yield from genetically superior seed sources, this study conducted field tests of genetic materials from available plantations of Falcata in the …
This study assessed the genetic diversity and ascertained the genetic structure of all currently available propagated materials of the two commercially important plantation species, Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes.) and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.). The usefulness of molecular markers to assess genetic variation especially in recurrently planted populations has been well demonstrated and …
