Foreword

This report is a result of the second training course primarily organized for the

personnel engaged in implementing the Project activities in the field. As part of the

transfer of technology activities, a consultant on tree breeding from Oregon State

University, Prof. Dr. W. Thomas Adams was invited to lead the course.

In consideration that tree breeding has a very important role in establishing a

competitive, productive, efficient and sustainable forest plantation, the course was

also offered to the private forest concessions as paying participants.

As it was reported by the course leader, the enthusiasm shown by the participants

during the discussions indicated that the topics given in the course were relevant to

their needs.

Attended by 33 participants plus 6 junior teaching staff assisting, the course was

funded by ITIO in cooperation with Peru m Perhutani, PT. INHUTANI I, PT.

INHUTANIII, PT. INHUTANIIII, PT. INHUTANIIV and PT. INHUTANI V.

Introduction

TRAINING COURSE ON BREEDING AND

SEED ORCHARD MANAGEMENT

Ex situ conservation refers to the conservation of components of biological

diversity outside their native habitats. Ex situ conservation is achieved by

preservation of samples of plant genetic resources in gene collections and gene

banks.

IITO project PO 16/96 Rev. 4(F) on ex situ conservation of two selected species

and their use for future breeding and biotechnology initiates fundamental

research activities that will: 1) avert a decline in the genetic variability within

Shorea leprosula and Lophopetalum m ultinervium , and 2) use these genetic

collections for more efficient breeding and biotechnology programs in the future.

Specific objectives of this project are: 1) To create effective programs for

education and technology transfer that may be used to train appropriate

personnel in methods of ex situ conservation of tropical forest trees; and, 2) To

establish ex situ conservation methodologies of Shorea leprosula and

Lophopetalum multinervum and develop these as models for general ex situ

conservation of tropical forest tree species.

The plan is not only to establish ex situ conservation plantations of these two

species, but also half-sib progeny tests that will also serve as seedling seed

orchards. These tests will be established on 6 different sites for L. leprosula and

4 different sites for L. multinervium in forest areas managed by the Forest

Enterprises.

In order to meet objectives 1 and 2, and more specifically, to be able to establish

and manage the proposed progeny testslseed orchards, a short course

introducing tree breeding methodologies and seed orchard management was

organized. The IITO project invited young foresters and scientists from the

Forest Enterprises and the University to participate in this training.

1

The Rationale

The Tropical Rain Forest of Indonesia is widely acknowledged as one of the most

species rich and complex terrestrial ecosystems in the world. It is also known as

a Center of biological diversity and a Center of endemism and, therefore,

Indonesia is also acknowledged as containing mega diversity. The global

interests in this ecosystem are in part stimulated by the recognition that the

Tropical Rain Forest is a treasure house of potentially useful species, whether

as a gene pool of domesticated species, as a source of timber or minor forest

products, or biologically active compounds.

The Indonesian Tropical Rain Forest flora is still poorly studied, but on the other

hand, this biological diversity is being threatened by processes of deforestation,

over exploitation, illegal cutting, and fire. Aware that biological diversity and

genetic resources are being significantly reduced by certain human activities,

specific actions have to be taken.

Sustainable forest management needs to attain a balance between the wise use

of resources and their conservation. The global concern for conservation of

forest genetic resources has led to a call for action to conserve, manage and

sustain these genetic resources (FAO, 1997). The call for action to conserve

genetic resources involves not only preventing extinction but also ensuring the

availability of resources for future use through adaptations to changing

environments (Namkoong, 1997).

Recognizing the limitations of eXisting management capability and personnel

available to implement the IITO project PD 16/96 Rev. 4(F), the project

personnel with technical assistance from Oregon State University, organized a

Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard Management.

During the training course, the trainees were introduced to the genetic makeup of

forest trees, the evolutionary factors that shape patterns of genetic variation, tree

improvement methodology, gene conservation techniques, and methods of

vegetative propagation. The major emphasis of the course, however, was on

2

phenotypic selection of parent trees, the establishment of their progeny in genetic

tests, and on the design, establishment and management of seed orchards.

Venue and Dates

The training was held primarily at two locations during the period of 26 August - 2

September, 1999: Wanagama 1 Education Forest, near Yogyakarta, and the

Sempolan Field Station, near Jember, East Java. The closing ceremony was

held at the Ishiro Hotel in Yogyakarta.

Objectives

At the end of the training, it was expected that the participants would have a

better understanding of the following:

1) General magnitudes and patterns of genetic variation in forest trees, methods

of measuring this variation, and forces that bring about change in genetic

variation and species evolution.

2) General organization and activities of tree improvement programs.

3) Theory and practice of plus tree selection.

4) Purpose, establishment and measurement of genetic test plantations.

5) Clonal and seedling seed orchard designs, establishment and maintenance.

6) Vegetation propagation techniques.

7) In situ and ex situ gene conservation and their roles in the further use of

biotechnology and tree breeding.

Organization

The training was organized by the ITIO project PO 16/96 Rev. 4(F) based at the

Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University, with a guest lecturer from the

College of Forestry, Oregon State University, USA.

Opening Session

The Training on Breeding and Seed Orchard Management was officially opened

on Thursday, 26 August 1999, at Wanagama 1. Opening remarks were made by

Prof. Oemi Hani'in Suseno, Chairperson of the ITIO project, followed by

comments from Prof. W.T. Adams, the course leader. Other speeches were

delivered by representative of the Kanwil Kehutanan Yogyakarta, and by Dr. Ir.

3

Suhardi, Vice Dean of Academic Affairs, Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada

University, who also declared the training open. The opening program and the

speeches are attached as Appendix I.

Participants

A total of 39 participants attended the training, consisting of 21 persons from the

Forest Enterprises, 9 persons from the private forest concession holders, 2

persons from the Forest Tree Improvement Research and Development

Institution (FTIRDI) and 7 persons from the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada

University where 6 of them act as assistants during the training. The names and

addresses of the participants are listed in Appendix 11.

Program

The training program consisted of lectures and field sessions at both Wanagama

1 and Sempolan. Discussions followed both the lectures and field trip

presentations.

Lecture topics included:

1) Genetic variation in forest trees: It's measurement, causes, patterns, and use.

2) General concepts of tree improvement.

3) In situ and ex situ gene conservation.

4) Plus tree selection theory and practice.

5) Seed orchard establishment and maintenance.

6) Vegetative propagation.

7) Genetic test plantations.

Topics of field sessions included:

1) Genetic test establishment, measurement and use (both progeny and

provenance tests in a variety of conifer and hardwood species).

2) First and second generation breeding activities in Pinus merkusii.

3) Plus tree selection and seed collection by tree climbing.

4) Seedling seed orchard establishment and management of Pinus merkusii,

including roguing.

4

Training Activities

The training was accomplished through lectures, field observations and

demonstrations, and by discussion. The schedule of activities is given in

Appendix Ill.

A good mix of field sessions and discussion broke up the lectures. All lectures

were well prepared and received. In general, good discussion followed the

presentation of all topics, with the participants frequently contributing useful

insights based on their own experiences. The names and addresses of the

resource persons are listed as Appendix IV.

Closing Session

The training was closed on 2 September 1999 at the Ishiro Hotel in Yogyakarta.

Prior to the closing a general discussion was held on the course. The trainees

expressed a desire for more training on advanced topics of tree breeding and

gene conservation. In addition, the desirability of organizing an Indonesian Tree

Improvement Association that would meet periodically to discuss advances in

forest genetics and tree improvement was discussed. The participants agreed to

follow this up, hopefully, with an initial meeting of this new association to

accompany the International Conference on Genetic Conservation Methods for

Tropical Trees, planned by this Ino project for June 2001.

The closing ceremony began with comments by Prof. Oemi Hani'in Suseno,

Chairperson of the Ino project, followed by remarks by Prof. W.T. Adams, the Course Leader, and Mr. Sutrisno, representing the participants. After

presentation of the certificates, closing comments were delivered by Dr. Sambas

Sabarnurdin, the Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University. The

program for the closing session is given in Appendix V.

Evaluation of the Training

To acquire feedback from the participants, an evaluation questionnaire was given

at the end of the training. Such an evaluation is important for measuring the

success of this activity, and for designing future programs. The results of the

evaluation are given in Appendix VI.

The honourable Vice Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University,

Prof. W.T. Adams of the College of Forestry, Oregon State University,

Prof. Soekotjo and Dr. M. Na'iem, my colleagues

and co-resource persons of the training,

The honourable guests, ladies and gentlemen,

Dear participants,

First of all, may I wish you all good morning and welcome to the opening ceremony of the

Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard Management. This is the second Training

Course organized by the IITO Project hosted by The Faculty of Forestry of GMU. This

training is attended by 32 participants consisting of 20 persons from the Forest State

Enterprises one from the Faculty of Forestry and 9 participants from the private forest

concession holders. The Forest State Enterprises which also sponsored the training are

Peru m Perhutani, PT. Inhutani I, PT. Inhutani 11, PT. Inhutani Ill, PT. Inhutani IV and PT.

Inhutani V,.

We are pleased to note that not only the state companies are interested in tree improvement

but also the private companies. We hope that this interest indicates their concern to forest

development, and thus forest plantation too.

The Course leader of this training is Prof. W.T. Adams, an expert in Tree Improvement from

Oregon State University, USA, whom we invited as consultant to our Project. The other

resource persons are the national experts of this project, Prof. Soekotjo and Dr. M. Na'iem.

The main objective of the training is to introduce the concept of tree improvement, and the

relationship between tree improvement and ex situ conservation. In addition to the theoretical point of view, the participants will also observe the seed orchard established by the resource

persons as a sample, the Pinus merkusii Seedling Seed Orchard in Sempolan, Jember, which belongs to Perum Perhutani.

After attending this training course it is expected that the participants would be able to:

1. select plus trees based on their phenotypes

2. collect genetic materials from the mother trees

3. design, establish and manage genetic test plantation as well as seed orchard

4. measure some tree characteristics of the genetic test plantation and collect the data

5. establish hedge orchard for stem cuttings

6. understand the importance of gene conservation role for tree improvement and

biotechnology in the future

It is our hope that the participants will be able to apply what they are learning here in the field

later. It is of upmost important that they are given the chance by their managers to work on

this field, so that the knowledge they gained will be useful.

Finally, as the Chairperson of ITIO Project may I extend my gratitude to ITIO and the forest

enterprises for their financial support, and to all the staff for their hard work so that this

training is made possible.

Good luck and thank you.

Opening remarks - W.T. Adams

26 August 1999

I am a little embarrassed to be standing up here this morning to officially welcome you

to this training course. I have only been in Indonesia a few days, and here I am

greeting you that have come from all over this country. Anyway, I appreciate the

opportunity very much, so Welcome!

I believe that an excellent training course on tree breeding and seed orchards has been

prepared for you. During the week you will be introduced to principles of genetics in

forest trees; tree improvement, including selection theory and genetic testing; seed

orchard establishment and maintenance; vegetative propagation; and, gene

conservation. This will be done in both formal lectures and by observation and

demonstration in the field.

For my part, I will try to speak slowly, so my English will be clear. Please don't hesitate

to ask me to repeat anything that is not clear. Also, don't hesitate to ask any of the

instructors questions as they arise. There should be plenty of time during the lectures

for questions and answers. The field sessions, in particular, will be a good place for

extended discussion.

11 look forward to meeting all of you and learning more about your country and about

tree improvement activities in Indonesia. I thank ITTO and Professors Oemi and

Soekotjo for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to contribute to your training.

Again, welcome to the course. We hope your enjoy the course and will learn much.

Remarks by the Dean, Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University

Prof. Oemi Hani'in Suseno, The Chairperson of ITIO Project, Prof. W. T. Adams, ITIO consultant from Oregon State University, My colleagues from the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University, Dear resource persons and participants, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is an honour for me to be here with you to represent the Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, GMU. May I extend his apology for not being able to attend this opening ceremony due to some other commitment out of Yogyakarta.

First of all, may I extend my warm welcome to Prof. Adams who came a long way from home, and to express my sincere appreciation for helping our staff in tree breeding development as well as organizing this training course. We hope that your stay in Indonesia is not only fruitful to us, but also enjoyable to you.

Secondly, may I welcome the participants, especially those who have not been to Wanagama, or even to Yogyakarta, one among the important tourist destination in Indonesia. We are proud to host you here at Wanagama which has been selected as an ecotourism object by the Minister of Tourism, Art and Culture recently.

The Faculty of Forestry has been engaged in research and technology application in forest tree breeding since a long time ago, and now it has a very qualified team where people can tap their expertise. Therefore, the organization of this training by the team is an excellent opportunity for the participants to improve their knowledge in this subject area. This knowledge gained during the training will hopefully be applied by the participants when they come back to their base. For the participants coming from the Forest State Enterprises (BUMN) it is our hope that the training will increase their sense of commitment in undertaking the ITIO Project in the field. Without their strong commitment and cooperation the project progress will not be able to run smoothly as it was expected.

May I also congratulate the participants for having the privilege to attend this training course. I hope that all of you will actively participate in the training both in the classroom and in the field.

Now allow me to declare The Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard Management open. Thank you.

Dr. Moch. Sambas Sabarnurdin Dean, Faculty of Forestry, GMU and Vice Chairman, Project Steering Committee ITIO Project

It is my great pleasure to report to the Dean of Faculty of Forestry at the closing ceremony of

the Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard Management. As a co-leader of the training

I feel relieve that finally the course has come to its end.

I must admit that conducting a course on tree breeding within one week period is far from

adequate. It is our hope, however, that the knowledge gained during the training will stimulate

the participants, interest and later apply it in their daily work. It is also our hope that more

advance training in the same field could be organized for the same participants to improve their

knowledge after practicing in the field. We are indebted to a number of institutions for their

support so that the training has been made possible.

We are grateful to ITIO and the Forest State Enterprises for their financial support, and to

Oregon State University for allowing the consultancy service of Prof. W. Thomas Adams. This

was made possible because Prof. Adams has been willing to come over, and we would like

express our sincere appreciation for that.

Our thanks are also due to Perum Perhutani which allows us to use the Pin us merkusii seed

orchard for the field study. To the Administrator of KPH Jember and his staff we are grateful for

their generous support during the two days field work in Sempolan.

To the resource persons who have been so dedicated, the assistants and the participants who

have been actively engaged in the deliberation during the training I would like to express my

appreciation. During the conduct of the training there may be a lot of shortcomings, for which we

would like to extend our apology to all.

Finally, may I wish you all go back home safely and have a nice reunion with your family.

Thank you.

Prof. Oemi Hani'in Suseno Chairperson

Closing remarks - W.T. Adams

2 September, 1999

This morning we wrap up the Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard

Management. During the eight days of this training, you had formal presentations on:

The genetics of forest trees and the factors that shape patterns of genetic variation;

Tree improvement methods, including selection theory and genetic testing; Gene

conservation methodology; Vegetative propagation techniques; and, Seed orchard

establishment and management.

You have also had the opportunity to observe many of the principles presented in the

lectures in the field sites at Wanagama and Jember. In particular, examples of genetic

testing and seedling seed orchard management were observed and discussed.

On behalf of the instructors in this course, myself and Professors Oemi and Soekotjo,

and Dr. Naiem, we thank you for your participation, enthusiasm and contributions to the

discussions. We hope you all feel that the course was helpful and that you learned

much.

Often, almost as many of your questions went unanswered as we could answer. This

reflects our young field of Forest Genetics and the fact we still have much to learn

about the species we wish to domesticate. As the youth of Indonesian Tree

Improvement, you have the great responsibility to wisely manage the genetic resources

of your species. To do this, you need to learn from previous studies in the species of

interest and in related species. This course has been one small attempt in this

direction. In most cases, however, you will need to learn for yourselves by review of

the relevant literature, by good experiments, and by trial and error.

Rely on the contacts you have made in this course and don't be shy about sharing your

experiences and ideas with your fellow students who work on the same or similar

species elsewhere in the country. Trees live too long and tree improvement is too

difficult for each of you to do it alone. Maintaining good contacts and sharing

information is vital to the success of all your efforts.

You are most welcome to contact any of the course instructors when future questions

arise. We will do our best to help you with them.

Join me in thanking the IITO staff, in particular, Mrs. Soetitah and Mrs. Lia, for making

the excellent arrangements and for all their help.

Finally, on a personal note, I have enjoyed very much meeting all of you and

appreciate your kind patience with my English and your warm friendliness. You have

helped me feel most welcome in your country.

Good luck and please have a safe journey back home.

Dear Prof. Oemi Hani'in Suseno, the Chairperson of ITIO Project

Prof. Westley Tom Adams, the Course Leader

Dear participants, ladies and gentlemen

It is an honour for me to be here with you, at the closing ceremony of the Training Course on

Breeding and Seed Orchard Management. I apologize that I could not attend the opening

ceremony, but I feel happy that I had chance to join you to field trip. Since I was involved in the

establishment of the the Pinus merkusii Seedling Seed Orchard in Sempolan Jember a long

time ago, I feel that I still and will always have an emotional relationship with the seed orchard.

That was one of the reason why I wanted to see its development.

I am also happy to know that as it was reported by the Chairperson, the participants showing a

very active participation during the conduct of training. Hopefully you will be able to apply what

you have learned during the training in your daily work, or if you are not directly involved in Tree

Improvement work, at least you will give your moral support to your colleagues.

And some other cultural shock including the Indonesia traffic, may I take this opportunity to

thank the resource person for their dedicated work. My special thanks is addressed to Prof. W.

Tom Adams. Despite his problems in overcoming the time and climate change, he has tried

hard to share his extensive knowledge in Tree Improvement to both the participants and the

other resource persons.

My sincere gratitude is due to ITIO for the financial support provided to invite Prof. W.T. Adams

as consultant to ITIO Project, and to Perum Perhutani, PT Inhutani I - V, and the Forest

Concessions for financing the participants so that they could attend the Training Course. Please

follow Prof. Adam's advice for the advancement of TI in your own place.

Good luck for all of your achievement, be happy to be back home, have a pleasant safety trip

back home. Finally, may I declare the Training Course on Breeding and Seed Orchard

Management officially closed.

Thank you.

Part Ill. Comments and suggestions from the participants

3.67

4.93

The participants were also invited to give their comments and suggestions to improve the future training. Following are their comments and suggestions: 1. Lecture notes in English should be given a summary in Indonesian language,

so that the participants will understand better. Otherwise, a translator should be made available for lectures given in English.

2. The duration of the course is too short. 3. Practical exercise is needed in addition to field trips. 4. Technical manual is needed by the participants so that they would be able to

apply what they learned during the course. 5. The importance of breeding in forest management should be made aware to

the decision makers in the forest companies, so that they would consider that tree breeding is an important part of forest plantation establishment.

Part IV. Conclusion

The training was generally well organized. Visit to the SSO Pin us merkusii in Jember impressed the participants and gave a realistic sample of tree breeding activities. Unfortunately, although it had been indicated that mastering English is one of the participants' requirement, some of them had difficulties in understanding the language. The combination of sponsored and paying participants gave a positive impact to the participation of the trainees during the discussions. More advance training is recommendable to the same participants.
