English term or phrase: massal selection

与葡萄栽培有关。

相对于clonal selection（克隆选择），一些种植者认为克隆选择会导致葡萄园中的葡萄果实均质化，从而最终降低葡萄酒的复杂程度。
massal selection中，用来繁殖新葡萄的插条来自种植者自己的葡萄园，the cuttings are taken from the most successful vines, but they are not kept distinct in the same was as they are for clonal selection.

Chinese translation:混合选择

Explanation:
在林木选育上，除单株选择（individual selection)外，混合选择(mass selection )和无性系选择（clone selection)是两种常用且选择对象相对的操作方式。Jie 提及的massal selection 应就是混合选择。"massal selection "主要出现在法语文献中。这样的表达方式大概受到法语影响而形成的吧！

另，就clone selection而言，‘无性系选择’这一释义要比‘克隆选择’更为常见些。

请参考。
