Description

Collecting and maintaining accurate data from field trials is paramount in tree improvement programs. The collected data are the basis for generating information used to direct applied tree breeding, publish scientific papers and for determining increased annual harvest levels to be awarded to forest companies involved in provincial tree breeding projects. The guidelines and procedures in this resource represent best practices to ensure data quality standards in tree measurements are met and the associated costs of poor information or requirement for corrective re-measurement of field trials is avoided. These best practices attempt to establish standard equipment and procedures that will assure accuracy and repeatability of measurements.
