SUMMARY: A test with 14 white willow clones was conducted on the
locality qf´Dravica (northeastern part of Croatia, near Osijek) following the
randomized complete block system design with four replications. Clonal test
was established by cuttings in March 1999, with 1.3 x 0.8 m spacing. The
goal was to determine the potential of biomass production of selected clones
in short rotations of 2 years, on the site not favorable for growing more valuable
species of forest trees. At the age of 2/5 (2 years old shoots and 5 years
old stump) diameter at breast height, survival and a number of shoots per
stump was measured, and using the combination of the destructive and nondestructive
methods, dry biomass of a single two year old shoots was
assessed. The production of biomass per hectare was estimated with respect
to the clones, mean dry biomass of shoots, survival, spacing, and the average
number of shoots per stump.


Average survival rate was 65.6 %, but there were significant differences
between clones. The overall mean diy biomass production of all the investigated
clones was 6.5 tons per hectare. The greatest production exhibited clones
´B44´, ´V093´and ´V052´(10.2, 9.2 and 9.1 t/ha). Clones ´B44´and ´V093´
showed specific adaptability to the investigated site and growth conditions
through survival, above the average values of the total biomass production, as
well as the greatest sprouting ability. Clones ´V052 ´and ´VI60´showedgood
adaptability to tested site conditions through survival rate and sprouting ability,
although their values of the mean dry biomass were average.


For the purpose of greater productivity, after the first rotation, shoots
should be reduced to one or two per stump. Research should be continued in
the direction of identification and selection of a greater number of clones with
specific adaptability to unfavorable sites, and the production of biomass on
marginal sites could be significantly increased with the application of more
intense growth and protection measures.
