The assessment of the significance of morphological characteristics in Pinus mugo turra crops for their determination by the method of dispersion analysis

The research objective was to prove the importance of some morphological features in Pinus mugo by method of the dispersive analysis for the definition of kultivar of the variety. The study considered the traits presumably important in the identification of cultivars, such as the length of assimilating leaves in the upper part of the auxiblast, the length of assimilating leaves in the middle part of the auxiblast and the length of assimilating leaves in the lower part of the auxiblast, the length of scaly leaves of the brachyblasts, the length of the scale-like leaves of the auxiblasts, the length of the current auxiblast. years, apical bud ovality index, lateral bud ovality index, height at 10 years of age, maximum width at 10 years of age, and the distance from the base to the circumference of the maximum diameter. The results of the analysis of variance carried out for each trait separately showed that the studied cultivars significantly and greatly affect thevariability of the studied morphological traits. It follows from this statement that the complex of the studied traits is significant for identifying Pinus mugo cultivars, such as: Little Lädy, Litomysl, Kissen, Mops, Trompenburg, Winter Gold, Ophir, and Gnom. Thus, it has been proved that using this complex of morphological characteristics; it is possible to determine with a high degree of accuracy the Pinus mugo cultivars considered in the study. With regard to the cultivars that were not used in the study, it can be assumed that the studied complex of traits would also be useful in their identification. It is possible to assert more precisely only on condition of the research using more cultivars. In the study conducted the method for assessing the significance of features showed high productivity.
