PINUS PINASTER RESISTANT TO THE PINE WOOD NEMATODE
The Lourizán Forest Research Center has selected a group of maritime pine families with high PWD survival rates in greenhouse tests.
These 6 families have been registered as parents of families in the National Catalogue of Base Materials, with the codes PF-Q-26/15/001, PF-Q-26/15/002, PF-Q-26/15/003, PF-Q-26/15/004, PF-Q-26/15/005, PF-Q-26/15/006, to guarantee the quality of their seed for use in forest plantations.
Besides being tolerant to the nematode, these families have good wood producing qualities.
