The effect of different cultivation methods of young Santolina chamaecyparissus plants on their further growth in field conditions

摘要

In the presented studies, an estimation was made regarding the effect of the applied cultivation methods of Santolina chamaecyparissus L. young plants on the further growth in field patches. Experimental material consisted of young plants produced in plastic pots, in multipot pallets, in cellulose pots and in field patches, in a non-heated foil tunnel. The plants originated from two terms of rooting of cuttings: 16th of August and 16th of September 2007. Differences in the growth of plants originating from different methods of young plant cultivation found during the first measurement, remained until the end of studies. Among the applied methods of growing of rooted cuttings, the most favourable one proved to be growing in plastic pots. Plants produced in plastic pots, after being transferred to open air, were characterised by the strongest growth. The poorest growth in field patches was found in plants originating from the cultivation in cellulose pots and in multipot pallets. No effect was found to be exerted by the date rooting of S. chamaecyparissus cuttings on the outdoor growth of this plant.
