A method for selecting genetically elite trees of Pongamia pinnata is disclosed. This method relates to the early measurement of tree characteristics for selecting Pongamia trees having higher than average productivity levels, based on the selection of characteristics that are stable in expression and having close linkage with kernel yield. This invention relates to tree productivity. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for the selection, propagation, and plantation planting of genetically elite trees of Pongamia pinnata.
