ENGLISH OAK (QUERCUS ROBUR) CULTIVATIONIN OMSK REGION IN SOUTH FOREST-STEPPE CONDITIONS
English oak (Quercus robur) is a wondeful type of trees for tree planting. This tree species is not cultivated in forest tree nurseries of Head forestry department of Omsk region for the purpose of an artificial reproduction. English oak grows wild on Podgorod’s wood plot. Nikita Gribanov had founded this wood plot by means of artificial reforestation. Questions about English oak reproduction haven’t been studied yet and technology of seed reproduc-tion has not been developed for Omsk region. Ex-perimental facts of oak seed reproduction are de-scribed in this article. The results of measuring of height and root neck diameter of two-year old plants have been shown. It has been shown that seedlings received from oak growing in Оmsk State Agrarian University Dendrology Park have large variation in the growth and development parame-ters. The annual saplings which are grown in the greenhouse have the best parameters of growth, but low survival. The annual saplings which are grown in an open ground get accustomed at change twice better. Two- and three-year saplings are considerably damaged by an unpaired silkworm during its mass reproduction.
