Abstract

Horticultural Production

Tree breeders would like comprehensive data on every individual tree in a breeding trial. For some properties this is a simple matter, however for properties such as stiffness or Kraft pulp yield (KPY) this traditionally requires destructive sampling followed by costly analysis (KPY costs ~US$1,000/tree). Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is now regularly used to determine KPY to minimise the cost of analysis, which until recently required the development of a calibration matched to the site and species under consideration by destructive sampling of a subset of trees from the population being assessed (Meder et al. 1994, Michell 1995, Michell et al., 1998, Downes et al. 2009, Ramadevi et al., 2010). Most recently, non-destructive sampling protocols have been developed to determine whole-tree KPY value. This paper reviews recent developments and highlights some of the protocols to enable non-destructive sampling and in-field determination of KPY.
