Popis: This study carried out on Brutian Pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) which had the largest natural distribution in Turkey to contribute nursery practices, plantation, and genetic-breeding of the species. Seedling height and root-collar diameter were examined in 1+0 bareroot and 1+1 years containerized seedlings grown from a seed stand at Antalya Forest Nursery at the end of growing period of 2018. Seedling quality and relation between the characteristics were investigated on seedlings sampled from 200 seedlings each age group. Averages of seedling height and root-collar diameter were 8.20 cm and 3.97 mm for 1+0 year bareroot seedlings; while they were 16.5 cm and 5.84 mm 1+1 years containerized seedlings. %74 and %32.5 of seedlings were cull/unsuitable in 1+0 year bareroot and 1+1 containerized seedlings for height, while they was no any cull seedlings in containerized according to quality classes of Turkish Standard Institute (TSI) in both seedling age groups. The both classification was suitable for the seedlings according to results of Discriminant analysis. Besides, there were positive and significant (p≤0.05) relations between seedling height and root-collar diameter in both bareroot and containerized seedlings according to results of correlation analysis.
