The effect of seedling size on the growth of transplanted silver fir seedlings in the nursery was studied. The studies made included observations on survival and growth of seedlings under four different height classes viz, seedlings less than 5 cm (T1); 5 cm to 7 cm (T2); 7 cm to 9 cm (T3) and 9 cm and above (T4). The performance of the seedlings below 5 cm in height in terms of survival, seedling growth and seedling dry weights was poorest as compared to other seedling height classes. The results thus indicated that seedlings below 5 cm in height should be culled at the time of transplanting.

Abstract


The effect of seedling size on the growth of transplanted silver fir seedlings in the nursery was studied. The studies made included observations on survival and growth of seedlings under four different height classes viz, seedlings less than 5 cm (T1); 5 cm to 7 cm (T2); 7 cm to 9 cm (T3) and 9 cm and above (T4). The performance of the seedlings below 5 cm in height in terms of survival, seedling growth and seedling dry weights was poorest as compared to other seedling height classes. The results thus indicated that seedlings below 5 cm in height should be culled at the time of transplanting.
