DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ECOLOGICALLY SAFE BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR CULTIVATION OF SEEDING MATERIAL FOR FOREST TREE PLANTS BASED ON NATURAL PROCESSES
The aim of the work is to develop and modify a nature-compatible biotechnology based on associative microorganisms for its application in the Russian forestry, as well as to test its stages on contrasting drought resistance and varietal seeds of Scots pine. The results of the analysis of the soil germination of seeds and the safety of 1-year-old seedlings showed that the use of biological products based on associative microorganisms can be introduced into the technology of growing the planting material of scots pine. It was revealed that the most responsive to inoculation by associative biologics were the seeds of sensitive trees of the Stupino population. The maximum result in increasing soil germination is shown in the variants with pcs. 8. (azorizin) and pcs. PG-5. The use of this biotechnology in forestry production will create favorable conditions for the germination of pine seeds, the growth of seedlings, their higher survival rate, as well as increase the yield.
