Abstract
The aim of the study is to reduce the timing of timber growth in forest plantations based on the use of multistage selection for seed and vegetative propagation. In test cultures of Norway spruce, the age dynamics of tree growth (up to plantation age of 28 years) is estimated according to the following planting variants: interspecific hybrid (Picea abies x Picea sibirica) spruce seedlings, autogenerative mixed progeny of fast-growing 4-year-old seedlings, polyclonal mixture (autogenerative mixed progeny of the fastest growing nurslings of 5– 10 years old with selection intensity 18–20%), sibling and semi-sibling families. According to the research results, sibs progenies of plus trees are characterized by the highest growth rate in the experiment. Sibs are recommended for use in works on selective forest improvement to obtain seedlings of exceptionally fast growth and strictly controlled origin. A lower growth rate as compared to sibs progenies of plus trees is characteristic of semi-sibs progenies, polyclonal mixture and interspecific hybrid progenies (Picea abies x Picea sibirica). For silvicultural purposes, it is primarily recommended to use semi-sib progenies of plus trees. Making clonal mixtures and interspecific hybridization are characterized by comparable growth rate with semi-sibs, but a significantly higher level of costs. The lowest growth rate is characteristic of cuttings, so for the purpose of obtaining high growth rate, the use of this method of reproduction of valuable genotypes is inexpedient. During the age period from 4 to 28 years, semi-sib and sib families of plus trees show a pronounced stability of rank position. Application of multistage selection in growing stands (selection of the best stands and plus trees, selection of the best semi-sib families or the best crosses of plus trees for sib families, selection of the best mixtures of sib and semi-sib families) allows to achieve the maximum effect in increasing the growth rate of artificial stands of Norway spruce.
