Abstract
Half-sib progenies of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. Tested at Peshawar gave significant differences among geographic areas. The broad-sense heritability at 6-year-age for diameter was 0.83 indicating that the trait is heritable. Further possibilities of selection and genetic improvement in the species are discussed in irrigated plantations of Pakistan.
