Vegetative Propagation of Leuce-Poplar Clones for Disadvantaged Sites

This project develops scalable vegetative propagation methods for high-quality Leuce-poplar clones, focusing on climate-resilient, disease-resistant, and economically valuable genotypes suitable for disadvantaged and marginal sites. Conducted by the University of Sopron’s Faculty of Forestry Science, it aims to replace low-quality poplar stands and support rootstock-based reforestation. The research evaluates propagation techniques through field trials, cuttings, and controlled experiments, emphasizing genetic improvement and sustainable forestry. Part of the EIP-AGRI initiative, the project is funded by the European Union and accessible via EU-FarmBook.
