| Summary: | This paper aimed to monitor the adaptation of one-year black locust seedlings in the field conditions. The seedlings of three Romanian provenances were previously produced in the containerized method under eight different substrate conditions (peat MKS 1, peat MKS 3, rendzina, rendzina + sand, dystric cambisol, dystric cambisol + sand, eutric cambisol and eutric cambisol + sand), and three water regimes (70%, 50% and 30%). The survival rate of seedlings and the main growth traits at the end of the first year after planting in the field were evaluated according to each type of treatment in which the seedlings were previously produced in containers. In field conditions, the growing traits of seedlings were not influenced by their provenance. The seedlings that were produced in the greenhouse in eutric cambisol + sand substrate, regardless of the water regime and provenance, were the shortest in the field conditions. The highest values of height were registered for the seedlings produced in peat MKS3 substrate under a medium watering regime. The seedlings that were produced in containers on dystric cambisol with sand substrate under high and medium water regimes had the best response in terms of survival in the field.
