| Summary: | The beech provenance trial in the “Goč” Teaching Base was established from 14
Serbian provenances. The assessment of their adaptive and productive
potential began with the analysis of the establishment and survival of
seedlings. At the same time, damage to seedlings was recorded. The seedling
establishment rate at the trial level was 91.4%, while the survival rate was
87.7%. The establishment rate ranged from a minimum of 86.7% (Boranja
provenance) to a maximum of 100% (Brezovica provenance). The lowest seedling
survival rate was recorded in the Rudnik provenance (77.3%), while the
highest was observed in the Brezovica provenance (97.1%). A significant
factor contributing to the reduction in seedling survival rate was the
presence of freely roaming livestock within the area of the established
provenance trial. By the end of the first growing season (October, 2024), a
total of 33.5% of the seedlings had sustained damage. Approximately half of
the damaged seedlings exhibited terminal shoot dieback, while the other half
showed signs of “topped seedling” due to browsing. The initiated research
needs to be continued, particularly in the next few years, to draw
conclusions about the adaptive potential of the analyzed provenances, which
together with the production potential, should be the subject of research
over a longer period. |
