The paper presents the results of the effect of different fertilizers on concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of juvenile seedlings of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.). The seedlings were produced in 2014 in the seedling nursery of Institute of forestry in Belgrade. The trial was set up in a random block system with three types of fertilizers and a control in three replications. Three types of pigments have been examined: chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids. The leaf sampling was carried out in the beginning of June 2014. The highest concentration of photosynthetic pigments was found in the leaves of seedlings treated with the preparation Osmocote® Exact Standard 5- 6 M and the lowest in the seedlings which were not treated. The highest mean value had chlorophyll a (0.522mg/g) in treatment with Osmocote® Exact Standard 5-6 M and the lowest mean value had chlorophyll b (0.213mg/g) in the control sample. The results showed that the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of eastern black walnut juvenile seedlings varied depending on the fertilizer that was applied. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the proper fertilizer can increase the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves and therefore the intensity of photosynthesis which contributes to increasing the biomass production.
