Tb141: Nitrogen Fertilization Effects On Growth And Value Of Eastern White Pine Sawlog Stands On Till And Outwash Soils, Robert K. Shepard, Gregory A. Reams

Technical Bulletins

Diameter growth response functions were developed using data collected from nitrogen fertilization study plots in eastern white pine stands on till and outwash soils. These functions were combined with height measurements and used to evaluate stand volume and value growth. White pine diameter growth functions were developed for application rates of 0, 50, 100, and 200 lb of nitrogen/ac, but only those for the 0 and 100 lb/ac treatments were compared because it was evident that the 100 lb/ac treatment would provide a larger financial return than either 50 or 200 lb/ac. The mean increase in sawtimber volume due to …
