Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Growth and stem form had low to moderate heritability at 12 years.
- Observation Wood properties had high heritability.
- Association Nematode resistance was uncorrelated with growth, stem form and wood properties.
- Observation Some families showed favorable values across all traits, including nematode resistance.
- Method / resource Selection for volume at age 12 years was feasible.
- Observation All traits including nematode resistance had potential for genetic improvement.
