Rutex Treatment of Ponderosa Pine Planting Stock
Ponderosa pine stock raised west of the Cascades for planting east of the mountains must normally be stored until it can be planted in order to protect it from drying by sun and wind. Formulations of Rutex have been developed to protect planted seedlings and bare-root seedlings in storage against moisture loss sufficient to reduce survival. The formulations were tested on ponderosa pine because conditions during planting are rela-tively severe.
