Mycorrhizae Increase Field Survival of Planted Loblolly Pine

In a recent TREE PLANTERS' NOTES, we reported that mycorrhizae may be as important as seedling grade to survival of outplanted slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) (1). Tests reported in the present note show that loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) survival is also increased by the presence of visible mycorrhizae. While their exact value is difficult to assess, mycorrhizae appear to be important enough to loblolly survival for nurserymen to seek ways to encourage high, uniform mycorrhizal development.
