Fertilizers and Organic Additives in Pine Nursery Seedbeds: Effects on Field Survival, Field Growth, and Chemical Content of Foliage

Numerous studies of fertilizers and organic additives have been made; the results and conclusions have often been conflicting. Climate, soil, or fertilizer rates may have been factors in this. Therefore, if the maximum number of quality seedlings are to be grown in a particular nursery, studies should be conducted in that nursery, using the reported studies as guides. This paper reports such a study at the Union State Tree Nursery, Jonesboro, Ill., made in 1960 and 1961 using loblolly, shortleaf, white, and Scotch pines. Details are given so the reader may compare them with other studies.
