Resumen
Objective: To evaluate the morphological growth of Pinus maximartinezii produced in three container sizes at the nursery stage.
Methodology: For eight months, plant growth was evaluated in three container sizes: BP-1000 mL, C-200 mL, and C-170 mL. The measured variables were height, diameter, number of whorls, aboveground, root, and total dry biomass, and Dickson quality index.
Results: Container size had a significant effect on the morphological variables evaluated (p ≤ 0.05). The type and size of container influenced the growth of Pinus maximartinezii plants. The larger the container volume, the greater the plant growth.
Conclusions: The use of larger containers improves the morphological quality of Pinus maximartinezii plants in the nursery.
