A RGP test was applied to six commercial seedling stocklots at two dates November February and under two test conditions growth-chamber greenhouse . The RGP s predictive ability was evaluated on two contrasting sites. There was a considerable variation in the RGP depending on application date test conditions and stock factors. The RGP results for November were correlated with each other but they did not explain outplanting performance. The February results in the growth-chamber correlated well with survival at both sites. Regression models explained survival both in the lower R2 97 and in the higher R2 92 quality sites. RGP has a valid predictive ability for this species although it is sensitive to the test conditions. In this sense a shorter and more intensive test performed right before planting may be more reliable. outplanting seedling quality site quality prediction model Résumé - Relation entre potentiel de croissance racinaire et performance du pin d Alep en plantation.
