Faculty Publications

Tip moth infestation and loblolly pine growth were examined on sandy, loamy and clayey sites in 2-3 year old plantations. Infestations were greatest on loamy sites. Following fertilizer and herbicide applications, tip moth infestations were lowest on fertilized plots following application of phosphorus.

Informal Project Reports

An assessment of the role of various environmental fa::tors on the development of four measures of diameter--minimum, arithmetic mean, quadratic mean and maximum- -was conducted for lob lolly pine ( Pinus taeda L.) plantations in East Texas. Of 12 environmental f~tors analyzed, only slope percent, two measures of non- planted vegetation Md surface soil pH significantly influenced diameter development.
