Modifications of Planting Technique not Recommended for Loblolly on Eroded Soils

Deep planting, puddling, and soaking of seedling roots are not recommended for loblolly pine in reforesting eroded soils in north Mississippi. This conclusion is based on a 2-year study of modifications of standard planting procedures, which have shown promise of improving survival or stimulating growth in other areas (2,3,4,5). The two .faulty planting techniques most frequently encountered on eroded soils, planting with U-roots and shallow planting, also were studied.
