Studies on Container Reared and Nursery Reared Seedlings of Deodar and <I>Cupressus</I>

Abstract

Cupressus torulosa and Cedrus deodara attain optimum shoot and root development when grown in open nursery in beds while as seedlings grown in polypacks do not exhibit better growth in terms of height and root development. Roots of polypack seedlings show even deformities and confinement in immediate vicinity.
