Site-Preparation Effects on Early Growth of Loblolly Pine

In a study in eastern Texas, site treatments aimed at improving initial survival of planted loblolly pines -also caused height and diameter differences that were still apparent after 5 years. The seedlings were bar-planted at 2- by 2-foot spacing in February 1958 on the Stephen F. Austin Experimental Forest, near Nacogdoches, Tex. The site was an abandoned field of Cahaba fine sandy loam with a cover of weeds and grass--chiefly partridge pea, ragweed, Bermuda grass, and goatweed.
