| Summary: | The paper presents the results of an analysis of morphometric characteristics
of Norway spruce seedlings in the progeny tests in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
localities: Drinić and Srebrenica. Progeny tests were established by using
seedlings originating from six natural populations from Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Seedling height, root collar and whorl distance from the ground,
which represents seedling heights in 2011, 2012 and 2013 were measured. The
results indicate statistically significant differences between the analyzed
characteristics of the observed population. Especially interesting are the
populations Potoci and Olovo, which showed the highest growth during the
observed period in both progeny tests. The impact of the drought in 2013 can
be seen in the progeny test in Srebrenica where height growth in 2013 was
lower by more than 50% in comparison to 2012. The impact of drought in the
progeny test in Drinić was not observed. The research provides the baseline
when selecting the starting population, where the rapid growth of seedlings
is set as the main goal. |
