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 (Pinus taeda L.) with high shoot-to-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.
