Three main cultivation areas of Paulownia are the Yellow-Huai-Hai Plain, south of the Yangtze River, and arid and semi-arid areas of Northwestern China. There are 9 species, 4 varieties and 4 forms used in the production in China. Study achievements were obtained in the fields of species/variety introduction, selection and breeding, afforestation techniques as well as the control of diseases and pests. The main problems existing in the current production include lack of improved varieties, mix-up of different varieties and variety degeneration due to the long course of a sexual reproduction. The author put forward countermeasures for the problems.展开更多
