To study the growth status of container seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata under different seedling cultivation methods,in 2023,three seedling cultivation methods,namely sand bed,hole tray,and sand bed+hole tray,to cultivate container seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata were used as the research object.Measurement and analysis of growth rate,growth range,and biomass was conducted.The results indicate that:The growth and biomass of container seedlings cultivated on sand beds showed better performance.The average height,diameter,and total biomass of container seedlings cultivated under three different seedling cultivation methods were 10.7%,2.6%,and 13.0%higher,respectively;There was a significant difference in the distribution frequency of container seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata cultivated under three different seedling cultivation methods between 20~30 cm and 30~40 cm in height(P<0.05).The distribution frequency difference of seedling height between 10~20 cm was not significant(P>0.05),and the distribution frequency difference of ground diameter in each interval was not significant(P>0.05).
