Manual on general management principles for breeding seed orchards (BSOs). Part I: Data collection and assessment of traits

Breeding seed orchards (BSOs) or seedling seed orchards (SSOs) comprise seedlings from selected trees in different provenances, but could also include seed lots from provenances. A family from a selected tree is known as an open pollinated family (OP-family). BSOs aim to provide improved germplasm after selection, but also serve as test sites of different seed sources.
