Intermediate Transplanting of Black Spruce Mini-plug Seedlings into Paperpots

Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) were grown in Castle and Cooke Mini-plugs and transplanted at 8 weeks into FH508 paperpots. Mean dry weight of transplanted Mini-plug seedlings was nearly three times that of their nontransplanted counterparts after 14 weeks. However, mean dry weight was only 45% of that of seedlings grown continuously in FH508 paperpots, and size and weight were closer to those of seedlings grown in FH308 paperpots
