Genetic Family And Stock Type Influence Simulated Loblolly Pine Yields From Wet Sites, J. F. Dickson, Jimmie L. Yeiser, Richard A. Kleunder, J. L. Paschke Jan 1987

Genetic Family And Stock Type Influence Simulated Loblolly Pine Yields From Wet Sites, J. F. Dickson, Jimmie L. Yeiser, Richard A. Kleunder, J. L. Paschke

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Planting adapted families or a bulked seedlot of bare-root and container-grown-seedlings of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L) were contrasted as cost effective alternatives for regenerating Arkansas' wet sites. Survival data from two wet sites were used to simulate 15 years of growth. Containerized seedlings provided 17% greater survival than bare-root seedlings, but yielded a lower present net worth than bare-root seedlings. Planting families adapted to excessive moisture provided 7% greater survival and yielded a greater present net worth than planting a bulked seedlot consisting of adapted and poorly adapted families.

Effects Of Stock Type And Planter Experience On The Time Required To Plant Loblolly Pine Seddlings, Richard A. Kluender, Jimmie L. Yeiser Jan 1987

Effects Of Stock Type And Planter Experience On The Time Required To Plant Loblolly Pine Seddlings, Richard A. Kluender, Jimmie L. Yeiser

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Inexperienced workers planted container-grown and bare-root seedlings of loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) on a rocky, upland site near Batesville, AR in a comparison of planting speed and survivability. Planting speed depended on the type of seedling planted and the amount of planting experience. Significantly less time was required to plant an acre with container-grown than bare-root seedlings. Experience increased the consistency and speed of planting for both seedling types.
