Fertility Questions and Considerations for the Next Generation of Seedling Fertilization Researchers

Although 20th century researchers published numerous fertility trials, only a few bareroot nursery studies have been installed since 2000. Most seedling nutrition publications during the past 5 decades have involved either container-grown stock or stock grown in greenhouses. The next generation of researchers might consider testing old theories about bareroot nursery fertilization. Some long-held claims about nursery fertilizers were apparently based on faulty logic, while others were based solely on hydroponic research. This paper provides some questions that should be addressed by the next generation of researchers who choose to follow the scientific method. This paper was presented at the Joint Meeting of the Northeast Forest and Conservation Nursery Association and Southern Forest Nursery Association (Pensacola, FL, July 17–19, 2018)
