Food Reverves of Transplanted Loblolly Pine Seedlings and Root Growth

Nurserymen growing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings usually run a lifting blade 8 inches below the soil surface to permit the removal of the seelings from the seedbed with as little damage as possible. Most of the fine rootlets and all roots more than 8 inches below the soil surface are lost during this operation.
