Rutex Treatment of Ponderosa Pine Planting Stock

Ponderosa pine stock raised west of the Cascades for planting east of the mountains must normally be stored until it can be planted in order to protect it from drying by sun and wind.

The formulations were tested on ponderosa pine because conditions during planting are rela-tively severe.
