| In order to ensure the continuity of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) forests,
one of Türkiye's most important primary forest tree species, it is of great importance to
increase field performance by producing quality seedlings that are resistant to field
conditions and using them in afforestation efforts. In this study, the effects of different
sowing densities, combined sowing with nitrogen-fixing vetch (Vicia sativa L.), and organic
fertilizer applications on seedlings were investigated. While morphological and some
biochemical characteristics were determined in the grown seedlings at the end of the growth
periods of 2020, 2021 and 2022, some physical and chemical properties were determined in
the soil where the seedlings were grown. In addition, the adsorption success of one-year-old
seedlings transferred to the planting area, and the survival percentages and some
morphological characteristics of two- and three-year-old seedlings were determined. As a
result, it was revealed that the seedlings treated with nanotechnological fertilizer,
vermicompost, and bat manure at the nursery stage were of higher quality in terms of
measured characteristics. In addition, these seedlings created the seedlings with the highest
field performance in the planting area in terms of both morphological characteristics and
adsorption success and survival percentage. |
