Effects of Nursery Density on Seedling Characteristics of Silver Fir (<I>Abies pindrow</I> Spach)

Abstract

The investigations conducted to study the effects of density on seedling cbaracterstics of nursery - grown sliver fir showed that the collar diameter of Ihe seedlings decreased as the seedling density increased while the height of the dominant seedlings remained unaffected. The weight of stem, needles, roots and total seedling and the volume of needles and roots decressed with an increase in the seedling densiiy in the nursery.
