The beech provenance trial at the “Goč” Teaching Base: A basis for assessing the adaptive and productive potential of 14 Serbian provenances

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 seedli...

description 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.
