Florida's Cotton Batting

This study was not designed statistically; that is, randomized or replicated and it is, therefore, not subject to the usual statistical analysis. It was designed to compare cotton versus moss as a water— holding medium for baled and stored slash pine seedlings under production conditions. This was accomplished, both in the baling process and field planting. The results indicate that cotton is equal to or superior to moss as a medium for baled slash pine seedlings, particularly when the seedlings are stored for several weeks.
