Abstract
In this study, containerized seedlings of Pinus densiflora (2-0) were planted in Iso-ri, Hwadong-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk on April, 2015. It was planted by lightweight planting auger that Kyungpook University has developed and mattock which is the general planting method of containerized seedlings. With the square planting method ($1.8{\times}1.8m$), 225 trees were planted respectively and about 2 years of initial growth, survival rate and seedling quality index (SQI) were analyzed and investigated. According to the analysis result, the average root collar diameter (mm) of planted containerized seedlings that used lightweight planting auger and mattock reached 3.77 and 3.94 in 2015, 18.73 and 15.32 in 2016, and 27.8 and 23.9 in 2017 respectively. In addition, the average height of containerized seedlings rated 33.4 and 33.4 in 2015, 89.8 and 74.7 in 2016 and 120.7 and 97.9 in 2017. It turns out that the height of initial growth of containerized seedlings that are planted by lightweight planting auger were much higher than mattock. The survival rate of the containerized seedlings that used lightweight planting auger was also higher by 10% than that used mattock. Also, H/D rate (healthiness) and T/R rate were almost the same, however, for the SQI, 0.60 was for lightweight planting auger and 0.24 for mattock. It seems like the lightweight planting auger is more advantageous than mattock in initial growth.
