Abstract
We studied the effect of pelleting on field germination of seeds and biometric parameters (stem height, root neck diameter, root length and total biomass) of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings of the second and third years of growth in the Primorsky Territory. It was found that the germination capacity of pelleted seed was 6,8 % lower than the control samples values, but seedlings of the second year of growth obtained from seed material subjected to pelleting showed values higher than the control ones by 21,9 %. At the same time, root length exceeded the control samples by an average of 10,3 %, while the diameter of the root neck was on average 16,1 % larger, and the total biomass increased by 35,1 %. For seedlings of the third year of growth, similar indicators were higher by 30,4 %; 27,9 %; 14,7 % and 71,1 %, respectively. In the future, it is recommended to study the effect of pelleting on the subsequent growth of Scots pine seedlings.
