SUMMARY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

FSIV has a long running program of genetic improvement for some of the principle plantation species to select the best genetic material for high productivity and wood quality for the various wood and non-wood forest products. FSIV has also been developing mass-propagation techniques to assist in the technological transfer of the genetically improved planting material to commercial plantations while maintaining diversified breeding populations for the main \u00a0<\/span>plantation species for long term genetic improvement. <\/span>Main research activities are focussed on:<\/span><\/p>\n
