Results of Experiments on Creation of Forest Cultures from Sievers Apple Seedlings With Closed Root System on the Western Slopes of the Chatkal Ridge in Uzbekistan

This article presents results of experiments on the survival rate of seedlings of the Siversa Apple tree, created by planting materials with a closed root system with different methods of planting on the western slope of the Chatkal ridge of Uzbekistan. The results of experiments has established that the highest survival rate for 2 years among the variants was observed with a deep planting at the rate of 88, 4 %. The usual and landing with the use of Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC) provided almost the same survival rate between 78, 4 and 78, 6 %. The lowest survival rate of seedlings were observed only when planted with an open root system, where it was only 25 %, which can be considered almost completely dead when creating forest cultures.
