| Abstract: | The relationship between early root and shoot formation at the beginning of the vegetation period and cutting survival on
sandy and loamy fluvisol for 14 genotypes of black poplars was analyzed. Considerable cutting mortality was observed only
within the first 80 days since planting. Intensive root formation in the first 20 days since the planting and vigorous shoot
growth and development in subsequent 20 days was observed in easy-to-root genotypes. Coefficients of correlation revealed
close relationship between early root and shoot growth and development and cutting survival of tested genotypes. The obtained
results could be used in the breeding process, as well as for the design of cultivar-adjusted nursery and plantation establishment
technology. Tested shoot characteristics, were found to be especially interesting since they could be measured rapidly, by
non-destructive means. |
