Clones

New clones

Since the foundation of Allasia Nurseries more than half a century ago, we have been engaged in the continuous selection of wood species suitable for cultivation, characterised from the phenological point of view so that they are economically and productively interesting.

Over time, Biopoplar, our Cavallermaggiore-based company in the province of Cuneo, has created a sector entirely dedicated to research and experimentation, where qualified and experienced agricultural geneticists identify new and performing clonal selections. This constant investment in development has enabled us to make a real leap forward in quality and to offer all-around services.

The genetic improvement programme for energy species

Biopoplar's agricultural geneticists have devised a genetic improvement programme for high-quality energy and industrial plant species as follows:

collection of starting germplasm in its area of origin;
characterisation, evaluation and mass selection of parental lines;
production of genetic variability with controlled hybridisation;
evaluation of the population obtained for traits of interest to identify genetically superior individuals;
field testing of selected individuals under different pedoclimatic conditions.
