Seedling Quality Strongly Influenced by Nursery Soil

The effects of soil management in forest tree nurseries are similar to their effects on other crops, particularly in being measurable by crop yield and quality, and by their effects on the soil. However, effects of nursery soil management are unique, since the nursery is only a "fostering place" for a long-lived crop which will be brought to maturity at geographically and environmentally removed locations. Our purpose, with this summation of our nursery experience with loblolly pine, is to demonstrate both the immediate and residual effects of soil management in this "fostering place" in terms which are meaningful to the nurseryman and the forester.
