摘要

Forest managers now have a choice of improved Sitka spruce planting stock: bare-rooted seedlings grown from seed collected in a seed orchard following open pollination between selected parents, or rooted cuttings harvested from donor plants raised from seed following artificial pollination between selected parents. Seed orchards are many years in preparation before planting, and take a further 10 years from planting to yield commercial quantities of seed. Seed for rooted cutting production can be produced in the same year as the parents' combination is conceived. Despite these differences in time scale, predicted rates of growth from the two sources are roughly similar. The main differences between stands grown from the two sources are further improvements in stem straightness, branching quality, and general crop uniformity of the trees raised from the more highly selected full-sibling cuttings. To justify the higher purchase price of the cuttings stock, these improvements in quality traits must translate into additional revenue through an increase in the proportion of green logs at harvest. Using predictions of saw-log proportions estimated from felling a mature progeny trial and then extrapolated to components of the breeding population, this study is a modelling exercise to investigate the most economically appropriate source of improved Sitka spruce planting stock for a range of different growth rates, and cost and revenue variables. The model required certain standard assumptions to be made regarding cost and benefits of full-sibling cuttings and seed orchard seedling stock, which were then varied in a sensitivity analysis. The main conclusion from this modelling exercise was that planting vegetatively propagated stock (cuttings) should be made with caution in the public sector (3.5/3.0% interest rates) and with particular care in the private sector unless favourable grants are applicable (assuming 5% interest rates). There are many situations when seed orchard stock would be more appropriate. Despite predictions of an increase in final rotation value due to a greater proportion of the higher-value green logs from the full-sibling cuttings stock, once discounted to the year of planting, this extra revenue was generally not sufficient to justify planting the higher-cost cuttings. The full-sibling cuttings stock only became financial beneficial if it was assumed that (i) the premium paid to the nursery for cuttings relative to seed orchard stock was low (less than ounds>100/hectare); (ii) the premium of green logs relative to red logs at harvest was high (over ounds>10 m-3); and (iii) the trees would be expected to grow in excess of Yield Class 18 and have a rotation length of at least 40 years. Planting cuttings on sites which will be left unthinned is not recommended unless very optimistic assumptions for green-log proportions and premiums relative to red log are made.
