EFFECTS OF APPLICATION OF A CONIFER-DERIVED CHEMICAL ON THE GROWTH AND ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF PINUS SYLVESTRIS L. SEEDLINGS IN A FOREST NURSERY
Abstract
A conifer-derived chemical produced by Tikhvinsky chemicals plant was tested for its effects on the growth and storage of nutrients in 2-year-old Scots pine seedlings raised in open field conditions in a forest nursery. The dosages of 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 ml·m––2 were found to promote plant growth. The highest positive effect on the seedlings’ growth was observed when the dosage was 0.3 ml·m–2. In these treatments, the weight of needles exceeded the control by 121%, seedlings’ weight exceeded it by 109%, and the seedlings’ dimensions increased 1.5-fold at maximum. The chemical promoted the uptake of most nutrients and their storage in seedlings’ organs. The exceptions were manganese and iron in stems and manganese in roots. The conifer-derived chemical applied in growth-stimulating doses had non-uniform effects on the elemental composition of the seedlings’ organs per unit dry weight. We observed an increase or an upward trend of phosphorus level in organs, potassium in needles and roots, copper in stems and roots, calcium, zinc and magnesium in needles. Placements of the chemical in 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 ml/m–2 doses resulted in a reduction of the N/P ratio in needles and stems, and modified the N/P/K ratio in needles of pine seedlings owing to an increase in the proportion of phosphorus, proving the plants’ phosphorus status was optimized. This conifer-derived chemical can be recommended for use in forest nurseries as an effective growth stimulant for coniferous stocking material.
