Hardwood nursery management
The major concern of users of high quality hardwood seedlings is the high cost of production. This cost may be ten times that of pine seedlings. Efficient production of high quality seedlings requires Increased knowledge in two areas. One, experience and initiative are needed to solve mechanical problems. Better seeders, better lifters, better packing and storage systems are all needed. Two, the greater need is to understand the fundamental physiological responses of hardwoods to cultural treatments beginning with seed production. When we learn the biological requirements necessary for consistent production of high quality hardwood seedlings, the mechanical problems will be easily solved.
