Hybridization of Acacia senegal Provenances

The book attempted to establish the genetic basis and inheritance of seedling growths traits in Acacia senegal provenances via estimation of the general and specific combining abilities of parents and crosses respectively. It also aimed at determining the extend of heterosis and inter relationship among the measured traits in a 6 x 6 diallel crossing procedure using Griffing s model 1, method 2.
