Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of soil preparation on height of 3-year-old Scots pine plantation. Three methods of cutting residues management and three methods of soil preparation were analysed. Height structure was determined and mean heights in specific variants were statistically analysed. Conducted analysis showed, that the influence of soil preparation method was much greater than cutting residues management. Statistically significant impact on tree height was found in case of scarifying and mixing of topsoil with rotary tiller, where greatest mean height was observed. Ploughing furrows with LPz-75 plough proved to be the most beneficial method of soil preparation. In this case the greatest heights of 3-year-old Scots pines were measured.
