Time Schedule Of Virginia Pine Plantations Advanced

New techniques for handling Virginia pine seeds and seedlings advance conventional schedules for plantation establishment and cone production by 1 year.The time normally required to establish and evaluate study plantations of pine can be reduced by refinements in nursery, planting, and cultural techniques. Squillace and Gansel (1968), for example, were able to assess the potential oleoresin yields of slash pine progenies at 2 1/2 years from seed. Seeds were sown in peat pots, outplanted shortly after germination, then irrigated, fertilized, and cultivated to stimulate rapid growth.
