Tests of a Transpiration Inhibitor

The State of Victoria has some 41, 000 acres of exploitable, government owned and administered softwood plantations of which Pinus radiata D. Don is the major species. There are about 12 small nurseries operating at the present time. In the past owing to the inability of a local nursery to supply local departmental and private requirements or because of losses or some other factor, it has been necessary to transfer relatively large quantities of nursery stock. The majority of stock raised for private sale and departmental use is 2 years old (1-year transplants), and seedling stock raised at one nursery may be shipped to another for another year of growth before being planted out in the field.
