Performance Evaluation and Correlation Coefficient Studies in Dek Tree

Twenty five plus trees of dek were selected from agro-climatic regions Haryana, Punjab and Uttrakhand. The on the basis different characters economic importance viz. straightness, clear bole height, self-pruning ability, acute branch angle etc. Among all maximum tree height was observed in MC21 (17.9 m) whereas, minimum MC3 (6.5 m). girth at breast (gbh) varied 60.9 to 180.8 cm recorded highest MC-21 closely followed by MC-13. correlation among morphological traits exhibited that had positive highly significant association with (r = 0.941) crown spread (N-S direction) 0.910). At age six months, progeny MC-18 showed shoot length (98.59 cm) MC-16 MC- 17 progenies. However, root progenies MC12 (20.84 MC-22 (20.46 MC13 (20.06 collar diameter MC17 (13.73 mm) lowest MC5 (4.89 mm). variation growth attributes tees juvenile stage may be exploited for subsequent breeding programme establishment seed orchard production quality planting material this versatile species.
