| Abstract/Contents: | Promising plants are chosen on the basis of outstanding phenotypic performance in clonal evaluation trials and horticultureal characteristics. Plants are then increased vegetatively until enough numbers are produced to satisfy plot size and number of replicates. Seed is then sown for progemy testing of the clonal selections. With conventional polycross a year is required from the time clones are selected until the seed is available for progemy tests. A year can be saved if clones are selected right away prior to anthesis then transferred to portable plant containers. The potted plants can then be placed in an area isolated from pollen of same species. Rearrangement of containers each day prior to pollination period enhances random pollination. Inflorescences shaken each day at peak pollen shedding hour insures good pollen distribution. Clonal propagation and replication is not needed because random pollination is achieved in the pot polycross by daily moving of the containers. |
