Abstract:

An investigation at Youxi and Yangkou seed orchard of Chinese fir from 1991 to 1994 has been made to study two cone crop prediction methods counting number of visible cones in crown from an observation point and counting number of cones in certain informative section of crown. Prediction models were developed for each method. The results verified at different seed orchards showed that the models could be used precisely and easily.

Key words: Chinese fir, Number of visible cones in crown, Number of cones in informative section, Prediction model, Cone prediction
