Turkish Hazel (Corylus Colurna L.) Seedling Characteristics as Rootstock for Hazelnut Cultivar Grafting

Abstract

In the Faculty of Agriculture plant nursery at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, Common hazel (Corylus avellana L.) cultivars were grafted on the Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) rootstock. To produce high-quality planting material, seeding success, growth and development of one- year-old seedling was followed. This paper presents results of Turkish hazel A1, B1, B4, B7 and C3 genotype nut germination from sowing performed in 2009. The results indicate high percentage of germinated nuts and a high plant survival rate. One-year-old seedlings measured during a vegetation rest period in 2010 and two-year-old seedlings measured in 2011 were better developed compared to the seedlings examined in the previous years, indicating that the application of the drip irrigation system in seedling development yields positive results.

U rasadniku Poljoprivrednog fakulteta u Novom Sadu, na Rimskim Šančevima razvijena je tehnologija kalemljenja kultivara leske na mečjoj leski (Corylus colurna L.) kao podlozi. Praćen je uspeh setve, rast i razvoj jednogodišnjih i dvogodišnjih sejanaca u cilju proizvodnje kvalitetnih podloga i sadnog materijala. U radu su prikazani rezultati klijavosti orašica genotipova A1, B1, B4, B7 i C3 mečje leske iz setve obavljene 2009. godine. Orašice su pokazale visok procenat klijavosti i momenat preživljavanja biljaka. Jednogodišnji sejanci mereni u toku mirovanja vegetacije 2010. godine i dvogodišnji sejanci mereni 2011. bili su razvijeniji u odnosu na ispitivanja sejanaca ranijih godina. Primena sistema za navodnjavanje kap po kap, dala je dobre rezultate pri razvoju sejanaca u ispitivanim godinama.
