Effects of oil amendments on Aspen seedling production


Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedlings were grown in north central New Mexico in a mountain valley nursery soil amended with sulphur and one of four levels of peat moss (0, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 peat (v/v). The 1/4 peat treatment is equivalent to 374 m3/ha. Peat moss improved soil medium physical and chemical properties responsible for improving seedling growth with each addition. Sulphur alone did not produce satifactory seedlings. Peat-amended soil produced plantable seedlings in one growing season at the study site.
