Abstract
One-year old nursery grown wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) seedlings was planted on a mesic western Black Sea Region site near Akcakoca, DUZCE. Five different rates (0, 80, 160, 240, and 320 g seedling -1 ) of a controlledrelease fertilizer (Basacote ® Plus 6 M, COMPO Benelux, Belgium) were applied to the seedlings in the beginning of April 2009. One and two years after treatments (YAT), fertilizer treatments made no significant effect on seedling survival. A reduced seedling survival was noted for the highest fertilizer rate. Two YAT, the lowest (80 g) rate significantly improved seedling diameter growth when compared to no-fertilization treatment. Similar to the survival, fertilizer treatments made no significant effect on foliage C and N concentrations and C/N ratio. Use of the lowest rate is recommended for this type of fertilizer for early seedling growth. High rates of this CRF may be toxic to young seedlings and therefore not recommended. Looking into the effects of the fertilizer at lower rates (< 80 g seedling -1 ) is also recommended for future studies for greater cost-efficiency and environmental safety. Applying CRFs should also be coupled with an effective weed control for enhanced seed survival and growth. Wild cherry has a high demand for site conditions. Therefore, planting this broadleaved tree species on inland sites with poor physical edaphic conditions should be avoided.
