Item information

Title:

Fertilization of Pine on a Hardwood Conversion (Central Forest Research Center, Research Report No. 16)

Description:

Loblolly pine dbh, height, basal area/ac, and volume/ac when statistically analyzed did not reveal a significant change after five years in trees fertilized with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) compared to nonfertilized trees. Average dbh, basal area/ac and volume/ac were greater for fertilized trees, but average height was less. Both fertilized and nonfertilized plots had crown closure by age 10. Cone production was greater, incidence of fusiform rust was less, and the amount of understory vegetation appeared to be lower in fertilized plots than in check plots. These differences indicated that fertilized trees were slightly more vigorous.
