| Summary: | This experiment investigated the effect of different container design on growth and development of Small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.). Experimental plants acquired in the Netherlands were of standardized height 0.4 meters, with diameter of the root neck of 3–5 mm. To monitor the effect of different types of containers (“Air-Pot™” container – Bohemiaseed, s. r. o., Squared containers “Vet” – SINCO Ltd., Containers 50 Series MCI/MCC – round plastic nursery containers, “Air pot” garden bags – Arbo ® Standard, Poland) on the physiological and morphological parameters of plants, three types of nursery containers were selected with open ground as control variant. Statistically significant difference between fluorescence and time of measurement was also found. In the Small-leaved lime the container type did not affect chlorophyll content or chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm); plants grown in Containers 50 Series MCI/MCC showed a lower chlorophyll content compared to plants grown in “Air-Pot ™” containers. As reported in literature, Fv/Fm ratio is a reliable indicator of the occurrence of environmental stresses, including water stress, on air-pot bag for several woody and herbaceous species. |
