%X <p>The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic gain of volume growth in Scots pine (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L.) selected seed stands. To obtain highest possible accuracy, the estimations are based on a large statistical material comprising 197 separate seed stands. It is concluded that the genetic gain of volume growth ranges between 7.4–15.0%. Unwanted pollen contaminations may, however, in the worst case halve this genetic gain.</p>
