✦ Synopsis

Application. Results of this study suggest that root wrenching of slash pine seedlings in the nursery can significantly improve ouplanting survival and subsequent growth at varied lifting dates. It has also been demonstrated that wrenched seedlings have greater tolerance to drying which could prove extremely valuable for seedlings commonly subjected to less than optimum establishment conditions. For improved slash pine survival, particularly when planting in stressed conditions, we recommend three root wrenchings initiated as soon as seedlings have reached desirable stem diameter.

Application. Spacing loblolly pine seed further apart in the nursery did not increase seedling height but did increase both seedling biomass and root-growth potential. Since seedling biomass can affect root-growth potential, it may be desirable to analyze the results using diameter or foliage weight
