In the Faculty of Agriculture plant nursery at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, Common hazel (Corylus avellana L.) cultivars were grafted on the Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) rootstock. To produce high quality planting material, seeding success, growth and development of one-year- old seedling was followed. This paper presents results of Turkish hazel A1, B1, B4, B7 and C 3 genotype nut germination from sowing performed in 2009. The results indicate high percentage of germinated nuts and a high plant survival rate. One-year-old seedlings measured during a vegetation rest period in 2010 and two-year-old seedlings measured in 2011 were better developed compared to the seedlings examined in the previous years, indicating that the application of the drip irrigation system in seedling development yields positive results.
