Abstract
Roguing of seed orchards decreases potential seed yields and increases the percentage of selfed seed produced. Calculations indicate that a potential seed loss per cross of about 10% could be expected by roguing a 15-clone orchard to 5 clones, provided certain assumptions are met. Simultaneously, the theoretical percentage of selfed seed rose from 1 to 3% with the same roguing intensity. Roguing to fewer than five clones resulted in greater losses in potential seed yield.Keywords
