Effect of Container Type and Watering Regime on Early Growth of Western Larch Seedlings

Seedlings of western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) were grown in three types of containers (Rootrainer®, Pinecells®, and Styroblocks®) at three different watering regimes (50, 75, or 100% water content). The Rootrainer container combined with a 75% watering regime resulted in the greatest top and root growth. Seedlings grown in Pinecell containers were similar. Styroblock containers resulted in the least growth at all levels of moisture, but the 50% watering regime resulted in the longest roots. Tree Planters' Notes 40(3):13- 15; 1989.
