Poplar clones for Short Rotation Forestry

OUR CULTIVARS

Our company has established cultivars suitable for Europe's different latitudes. To date, our cultivars have been used in over 40,000 hectares of plantations

Experimental activities are conducted with a clear understanding of the objectives of genetic improvement, in order to produce hybrids capable of responding in the best possible way to the specific cultivation models they are created for. The term SRF refers to the cultivation for the production of biomass, mainly wood chips for energy uses or second-generation bioethanol.

We select the best clones to ensure quality production

We are currently finishing the selection of another 20 clones resulting from a more advanced genetic improvement program.

Already in 2024 we will begin the first open field tests with experimental tests divided into plots.

These clones were selected for their excellent rooting and their rapid growth. These clones must have excellent resistance to cortical diseases such as Dotichiza to allow them to regenerate their stump every spring for the continuity of the production cycle.

For clones intended for Biofuel production we select the clones with the highest percentage of cellulose and hemicellulose.

Implementation of agro-industrial supply chains

We specialise in creating new Agro Fuel projects on behalf of industries interested in the use of biomass.
