The experimental network of the GIS "Genetics, Improvement and Protection of Poplar" (GIS Poplar) includes all the "genetic" experiments installed and managed by the founding members of the GIS: INRAE and FCBA. These experiments study the behaviour of a wide range of genotypes (pure or hybrid species) with respect to the main bio-aggressors (pathogens, insect pests) as well as their agronomic behaviour (phenology, vigour, shape, etc.). The results from the network make it possible, at the end of the selection process, to register new varieties in the national register of basic material, complying with the specifications of the technical acceptance regulations or to check, for the health context and pedoclimatic conditions in France, the behaviour of varieties from other institutes. The experiments are defined and planned by the executive committee of the GIS Poplar, then are managed directly by the constituent bodies of the GIS.
