Özet
Early field growth of Fraxinus angustifolia and Ulmus laevis rooted cuttings was compared with that of seedlings using annual measurements collected during three years at a bottomland site in Adapazarı, Turkey. Two stock types (seedlings & rooted cuttings) were sorted by stock height (small, 45-55 cm; medium, 75-85 cm; large, 105-115 cm) and then planted. A two factorial (stock type & stock size) randomized block design with three blocks was used for each species. After three seasons of field growth, more than 99% of the plants had survived, irrespective of stock type in each species. Height and diameter increments of the rooted cutting of narrow-leaved ash at the end of third year were higher than that of seedlings. The heights of rooted cuttings and seedlings averaged 232 and 208 cm, respectively. However, height and diameter increments of white elm seedlings were higher than that of rooted cuttings. After three seasons of field growth, the heights of rooted cuttings and seedlings of white elm averaged 221 and 269 cm, respectively. Stock size and the interaction between stock type and stock size had no effect on three years growth variables in both species. © 2010, INSInet Publication.
