This study aims to determine some morphological characteristics of 2+0 year seedlings of Kazdagi fir grown at Salihli/Kılıç Forest Nursery in Manisa province. For that reason, 2+0 year, bare-rooted seedlings have been provided. In Kazdagi fir seedlings shoot height (cm), root collar diameter (mm), shoot and root fresh weight (g), shoot and root dry weight (g), shoot height/diameter and shoot/root ratio (dry weight basis) were measured. Some mean values of Kazdagi fir seedlings were found as 9 cm for shoot height, 0.33 cm for root collar diameter, 27.76 for length/diameter ratio, 0.96 for shoot/root ratio (dry weight basis), 3.18 g for root fresh weight, 3.29 g for shoot fresh weight, 1.28 g for root dry weight, 1.09 g for shoot dry weight. In addition, some morphological characteristics of Kazdagi fir seedlings were compared to the Turkish Standards (TS 2265/February 1988). As the result, if root collar diameter and shoot/root (dry weight basis) ratio concerned, 98 % of Kazdagi seedlings were in the Ist quality class. From the shoot height point of view, 30.7% of seedlings were in the Ist and IInd quality classes. When all quality criteria were evaluated together, 8.7% of the Kazdagi fir seedlings used in this study was found to be in the Ist quality class. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
