Growth performance of containerized and bare-rooted planting stock
Pechman, Petr ; Kuneš, Ivan (advisor) ; Otakar, Otakar (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the development and growth of containerized and bare-rooted seedlings of Norway spruce on the plots situated on the Dolní Lomnice Forest District, a division of Karlovy Vary VLS ČR, s. p. (Army Forest and Estates of the Czech Republic). In this work addressed the following sub-tasks: comparison of mortality, height increment and increment of root collar, root development, analysis of cost recovery stands on the site.
Three years after the founding of the plots it was discovered that containerized planting stock reached higher relative increment. When using a planting hole technology, the mortality was in both types of planting stock approximately similar. Furthermore, it was found that containerized planting stock planted with the planting hole technology, a higher incidence of advent naturally developed roots occurred. The planting technology using a loading mandrel (similar typesetter) used for containerized planting stock was assessed as an unsuitable and also the most frequent presence of unnatural root architectonics (deformations and secondary roots, if they were ever developed) it was demonstrated. An economic study showed that the overall costs for the forest regeneration using of the containerized planting stock are higher compared with the bare-rooted planting stock.
