Use of the growth retardant "Maintain" by Georgia Kraft Company

The growth retardant MAINTAIN(TM) at the concentration of 300 PPM was beneficial in preparing loblolly pine for extended season planting. When applied soon after bud break, the terminals died, new buds formed and remained quiescent until August, stems and roots continued to develop. The planting season was extended by "storing" seedlings in the nursery bed and lifting them fresh as needed.
