Abstract: The authors of the article, on the basis of studies conducted on the territory of the state forest fund of the KSU "Samsk State Institution for the Forests and Wildlife Protection" of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management in Mangystau Region, prove that in the arid conditions of Western Kazakhstan, the terms of planting black saxaul affects growth and survival rate. The main indicator of the success of silvicultural work is the survival rate and growth, which more fully characterize the physiological state of plants in connection with transplantation. The survival rate of seedlings is closely related to the amount of soil moisture at the time of planting and in the first 10-15 days after it. The article presents the results of the optimal terms of the creation of black saxaul crops in spring. The most reliable way to create forest saxaul crops is spring planting with annual standard seedlings, which ensures a high percentage of survival rate and distribution of plants over the entire area compared to autumn sowing. Preliminarily, the first ten days of April should be considered the optimal planting time for the arid conditions of Western Kazakhstan. Delay in forest planting by one decade significantly reduces the survival rate of crops.
