“…Additionally, the choice of container type, differed depending on size, is an operational practice for containerized tree stock culture (FaureLacroix et al, 2013;Jelic et al, 2014). There is a potentially positive relationship between container size and nutrient loss from leaching, hence smaller containers are believed to be more efficient to control leaching from containers planting tree seedlings (Murray et al, 1996;Dumroese et al, 2011).…”

“…However, the trade-off does exist between container-type-related seedling growth and leachate nutrient loss, and end-of-season tree stock size is limited by small container volume (Pinto et al, 2011;Dumroese et al, 2011). Large container with a greater volume is advantageous for the culture of slowly growing tree species because a larger container usually resulted in a larger tree stock size at a given time (FaureLacroix et al, 2013;Jelic et al, 2014), hence efficiently increased was their growing rate. Most slowly growing tree species are of high value, which arouses an interest for stimulating growth rate of slowly growing tree species using larger containers with a greater volume but with the wish of less leaching nutrient loss.…”

Leachate nutrients from the nursery of containerized tree seedlings result in risks of inefficient fertilization through nutrient loss and contamination of ground water. In the present study, seedlings of Buddhist pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus) and Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) were cultured in containers of three differing sizes under contrasting photoperiods of naturally 11 h per day and an extended one of 20 h per day. Controlled release fertilizer (CRF, 14-14-14) was used to feed seedlings with sufficient nutrients for 5 months from June to November 2014. At the end of experiment, seedlings from all types of containers were measured for height and root collar diameter, whilst leachates were collected to determine nutrient concentrations of available phosphorus (P), potassium (K), ammonium and nitrate nitrogen (N) therein. Growth of both seedling species increased with the volume of container, but only growth of Japanese maple seedlings responded to photoperiod. In spite, there was greater amount of nutrients leached from containers planted with Buddhist pine than with Japanese maple; nearly no nutrient in the leachate affected by photoperiod. A negative correlation was found between concentrations of leachate nutrients and seedling height growth in all container sizes. In conclusion, nutrient leaching is a nonignorable but predictable factor by seedling height growth during the intensive culture of slowly growing seedlings of ornamental trees under the extended photoperiod.

“…Besides the type of spruce seedling production, the substrate plays an important role. One of the most used substrate for growing containerized plants is peat, especially Sphagnum peat, slightly humidified (low pH, proper balance of aeration and waterholding porosity, low inherent fertility, cation exchange capacity) and offers good growing conditions in nursery (Bernier and Gonzalez, 1995;Topić et al, 2006;Vaario et al, 2009;Heiskanen, 2013).…”

In order to analyse seeds germination and seedlings growth of spruce (Picea abies) there were used five treatments with bio and chemical substances for stimulation germination: H2O, Atonik, Cropmax, CuSO4, KMnO4 and five treatments with different substrates: Jiffy pots, peat + conifer humus, peat + conifer humus + perlite, peat + conifer humus + sand, peat + conifer humus + perlite + sand. Of all germination stimulants, the highest percentage of seeds germination was obtained when the seeds have been immersed in aqueous solution with Atonik. From among substrates, the highest percent of germination was obtained using peat + humus + perlite + sand, following by peat + conifer humus + perlite and Jiffy pots. The substrate containing peat and humus of coniferous can not be recommended as a properly germination substrate for spruce seeds. Results showed that using chemical substances for germination, the germination was comprised between 56.7-73.3%. Seeds treated with KMnO4 had the lowest germination, and those treated with Atonik (0.75 ml active substance in one liter tap water) presented the highest germination percentage. The best growth of seedlings was assured by peat + conifer humus + perlite substrate.

“…However, for an efficient industrial plantation land elevated to 50 m has been recommended. Jelić et al (2014) indicated that for a successful plantation in Mediterranean regions, several important properties must be fulfilled, in particular, suitable species and soil characteristics. The first eucalyptus afforestation for economical purposes was built in 1939 in an area of 885 ha in the Tarsus -Karabucak region.…”

Aim of study: To determine soil and tree morphological properties in eucalyptus forests of difference between three age groups. Area of study: This research was carried out in eucalyptus plantation that has been established for both marsh rehabilitation and agro-industrial purposes. Material and Method: In each sampling plot (select randomly from three differently aged plantation forests.), soil properties and morphological characteristics of thirty-six trees were investigated. Main results: According to the obtained findings, the soil properties (0-30 cm) changed with the increasing age of the plantation. There was a little difference in the soil properties (30-60 cm). Investigations on the morphological characteristics of seedling found average diameters (d1.3) of 11.7-14.5-21.5 cm, in the plantations aged and average lengths of 11.0-15.8-21.7 m, 3, 5, and 9 years-old respectively. The morphological properties of trees were statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Highlights: Rapid development in tree height in the early years, followed by rapid growth in diameter in the sapling years is understood. The soil properties of the research area were determined to be quite suitable for eucalyptus species.
