Relevance:
In the context of climate change and urbanization, the introduction and cultivation
of ornamental and ecologically significant tree species is of particular importance. The Tien Shan
spruce is a valuable species of coniferous plants that is highly decorative and resistant. The study of
its seed propagation in the Turkestan region is of practical and scientific significance.
Objective of the study:
To determine the possibilities of growing Tien Shan spruce (Picea schrenkiana) from seeds in
the conditions of Turkestan and to identify the optimal conditions for their germination and further
growth.
Materials and methods:
As the source material, spruce seeds obtained from Turkey were used. Before sowing, they
were pre-soaked and kept in a thermostat at 22 °C in moist sand. A total of 30 seeds were used for
the experiment. The seeds were sown in a mixture of sand and peat at a temperature of 24 °C and a
humidity level of 60 %. The plants were regularly watered and fertilized with mineral elements every
15 days.
Results:
After 58 days, the first sprouts appeared, and on the 69th day, 23 of the 30 seeds germinated
(with a germination rate of 76.6 %). After 3 months, the average height of the seedlings reached 2.8
cm, and by 6 months, it had reached 4.7 cm. Regular fertilization contributed to the active growth and
development of the seedlings.
Conclusions:
The experiment showed that seed propagation of the Tien Shan spruce is possible in the
conditions of the Turkestan region, provided that the optimal temperature and humidity conditions
are maintained. This method can be used for introduction and landscaping projects, as well as for the
conservation and expansion of the range of coniferous species.
