Abstract

This study was carried out on Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana) which is one of the important forest tree species in Turkish forestry to contribute nursery practices and plantation forestry of the species. Seedling height and root-collar diameter were examined in 2+0 and 3+0 year of Black Pine containerized and bare-root seedlings grown at Cankiri and Cerkes Forest nurseries of Turkey at the end of growing period of 2015. Seedling morphology, quality and relation between the characteristics were investigated. Averages of seedling height and root-collar diameter were 8.8 cm, 12.5 cm, 13.3 cm and 27.6 cm; 3.92 mm, 4.51 mm, 5.2 mm and 6.33 mm at 2+0 and 3+0 year of containerized and bare-root seedlings, respectively. There were significant differences (p≤0.05) among seedling types and ages based on results of variance analysis for seedling morphology. Distribution of seedlings changed for quality classification, characteristics, seedling age and types. Results of Discriminant analysis were also varied for seedling ages and seedling types. There was positive and significant (p≤0.05) correlation between seedling height and root-collar diameter based on results of correlation analysis. Results of the study were discussed for nursery practice and plantation forestry of the species. Results of the study should be combined by field stage.
