Several types of planting materials are used for the establishment of poplar plantings, whilst cuttings and roots produced within the „stool bed“ system (rooted and stool beds) are used as reproduction material for their production. The topographic position of sprout cuttings on the percentage of survival of cuttings is analyzed herein. The field trial was conducted in the „Ljutovo“ nursery in Bečej, operated under the PC Vojvodinašume, FH “Banat” - Pančevo, FA „Zrenjanin“. The field trial was carried out through four repetitions with the random treatment distribution. Three clones of the American black poplar Populus deltoides (cl. B-229; 665; S1-5) were included in the field trial, as well as two clones of the Euramerican poplar, namely Populus x euramericana cl. Pannonia (М1) and cl. I-214. Research has demonstrated that, although there is no significant statistical difference at the 95% level of significance, there is a difference with regard to the percentage of survival of cuttings, starting from the basal to the apical part of the sprout. The topographic location of the cutting on the sprout had an effect on the percentage of survival, but not on the quality of produced seedlings.
