Growth of Austrian pine and Norway Spruce seedling in mini-containers


Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) were seeded in selected mini-containers filled with Jiffy Mix and placed in a greenhouse eighteen weeks from germination. The stem length of both species was greatest in Book Tinus; intermediate in Book Hillson, Square Container and Tar Paper; smallest in Leach Tube, Styroblock 8 and Styroblock 7. The shoot and root dry weight of spruce were greater in smaller containers. Pine seedlings grew equally well in all containers. The ratio of the root dry weight/container volume (mg/cm3) of both species was higher in the smaller containers.
