Field Evaluation of Container-Grown Northern Red Oak

Planting seedlings as a method of artificial regeneration has been largely unsuccessful with red oak (Quercus rubra L.) because of poor survival and early growth. Seedlings grown in individual containers and inoculated with specific mycorrhizal fungi are believed to experience less planting shock and to have a competitive growth advantage over bare-root seedlings produced in the conventional fashion. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of containerization and inoculation with a specific mycorrhizal fungus on the survival and early growth of red oak seedlings.
