Abstract

Summary Ten tree attributes were used to evaluate the performance of 25 Populus deltoides clones in a selection trial in southern Buenos Aires, Argentina. A hierarchical cluster procedure was used to group clones on a multivariate basis. Three Argentinian selections (clones INTA 347-69, 186-68 and 71-67) and one Italian selection (clone Fierolo) were recommended for larger trials across the region. Cluster analysis was an appropriate tool for selecting genotypes with acceptable growth rate, desirable form and resistance to canker disease, rust and wind damage.
