Abstract

The research studied the influence of the volume and construction of пїЅHikoпїЅ and пїЅPlantekпїЅ containers on acorn germination, resistance of root-closing substrate, height of aboveground plant parts and length of root systems of oak seedlings. The cell volume in пїЅHikoпїЅ containers varied from 25 cm3 to 530 cm3 while in пїЅPlantekпїЅ containers пїЅ 115 cm3 пїЅ 275 cm3. The seedlings were grown in greenhouses of arch type with polycarbonate coating and automatic watering. Peat-moss was used as a substrate. Average ground germination was 70.3%. The dependence of acorn germination from the container volume was not established. The volume of root system depends on the volume of container cells. In пїЅHikoпїЅ and пїЅPlantekпїЅ containers, the mass of small roots of oak seedlings decreases with a decrease of the cell volume. In пїЅHikoпїЅ containers the maximum output percentage of seedlings with the height of more than 12 cm root neck thickness of more than 3 mm is observed at a cell volume of 350 cm3. The worst cells for seedling growth were of the volume 25 cm3. Containers пїЅHiko V 90 AirBlockпїЅ, пїЅPlantek 100 FпїЅ, пїЅHiko V 50 SSпїЅ, пїЅPlantek 36 FпїЅ, пїЅPlantek 49 FпїЅ, пїЅPlantek 100 FпїЅ proved to be not suitable for the cultivation of oak seedlings because of the root system deformation.
