Excessive Seedling Height, High Shoot-to-Root Ratio, and Benomyl Root Dip Reduce Survival of Stored Loblolly Pine Seedlings
Excessively tall seedlings of loblolly pine (Pin us taeda L.) with high shootto –root ratios survived poorly compared with shorter, more balanced trees when planted in coarse sand in a droughty year after 12 weeks of cool storage. Tall seedlings with roots dipped in a clay surray containing benomyl fungicide before storage showed poorer survival than tall seedlings dipped in clay surray alone.
