A large variety of soil conditions in the forest fundof the Republic of Belarus requires reforestation by various tree species, of which a significant roleis played by deciduous species. Growing seedlings of deciduous species requires strict observance of all agricultural activities (preparation of soil, eradication of weeds, pests control, crown care, application of mineral and organic fertilizers, etc.). The paper dwells upon the study of technology and the growth of deciduous seedlings grown in close-planting forest nurseries of forest enterprises of the Republic of Belarus.
