Heating System, Germination Temperature and Post Germination Fertilizer Regime Effects on White Spruce Nursery Growth

Morphology of white spruce 1-0 seedlings grown with under bench heating did not differ from those grown with over bench heating. No differences were observed between 20/11?C (12/12 h, day/night) germinated seedlings and 20/20?C germinated seedlings, although the heating costs of the latter were almost double. Fertilization with N P K 20-8-20 produced shorter seedlings with greater root mass than a 20-20-20 plus 10-52-17 fertilizer regime.
