Abstract
While genetic improvement is the main theme of this chapter, we first review the context in which the improvement began to be vigorously pursued. For growing radiata pine 1951–1968 was a period leading up to major upsurges of new planting in the main grower countries. Areas planted in radiata pine as at 1956, by individual country. Meanwhile some major industrial plants processing radiata wood were opened, and more were being planned. Also, further biotic scares occurred in several regions. Since these and other circumstances differed markedly among the main grower countries, we review the context of such events and initiatives by country.
