In studies in Northern Ireland, UK, clonal mixtures were investigated in an experimental plot as an alternative disease control strategy. At one of 2 sites Salix x dasyclados, Salix burjatica Korso, S. burjatica Germany, Salix viminalis Bowles Hybrid and S. viminalis 683 were included in the clonal mix. At the second site 6 clones were used. These were as above with the exception of S. burjatica Korso and including Salix x calodendron and Salix mollissima-undulata SQ83.
