Abstract
In this study, the effects of sowing depth, seed cover material, mulching, sheltering and irrigation on the seed germination percent of Crimean Juniper (Juniperus excelsa Bieb.) and Small Fruited Juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus L.) were determined. The study material (seeds) was collected from a natural population of each species located in Egirdir-Cire forest district. The experiments related to the study were laid out according to “Completely Randomized Design” with three replications in Egirdir Forest Nursery. Germination percents relating the different sowing techniques were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software. The variance analysis and Duncan test showed that the best sowing depth in terms of germination was 2 mm depth for Crimean Juniper. However, the sowing depth should be set out according to the cover material to be used for Small Fruited Juniper. Keywords: Crimean Juniper, Small Fruited Juniper, Sowing tecnique.
