Impacts of nursery processing on the survival and growth of 2+0 Douglas-Fir seedlings

Three handling treatments compared seedlings during the time period from just before lifting to the time when seedlings are placed in nursery cold storage after grading and packing. The handling treatments were as follows: (1) the indoors treatment--"conventional" nursery handling with seedlings held for 48 hours in a cool, humid room between lifting and grading; (2) the outdoors treatment--"conventional" nursery handling with seedlings held outdoors on a covered dock for 48 hours between lifting and grading; and (3) bedpacking, where seedlings are lifted and taken directly to cold storage without the extra handling involved in grading and packing.
