 ABSTRACT

Investigations were carried out in Grewia tiliifolia genetic resources to elicit information on identification of Candidate Plus Trees (CPTs). A total of twenty Candidate Plus Trees of Grewia tiliifolia have been selected from the predominant growing areas of Southern India viz., Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana and Tamil Nadu by comparison check tree method. The trees were selected based on comparative superiority of selected trees for growth attributes viz., height, girth at breast height (GBH), and crown width.

Keywords: Candidate Plus tree, Grewia, Southern India, CPTs, Comparison check tree method
