Growth and Survival of Slash Pine Seedlings in a Florida Nursery

Growth and development of slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) seedlings were monitored. About 11.5% of the seedlings died: 10.8% due to disease, 0.4% due to insects, 0.2% due to weather, and 0.1 % due to mechanical factors. The cull rate at lifting was influenced by the frequency of top pruning (once versus twice) and seedling density.
