The Effect of Three Film-Forming Antitranspirants on Moisture Stress of Outplanted Black Spruce Seedlings

The antitranspirants Cloud Cover, Wilt-pruf NCF, and X2-1337 were applied to black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S. P.) container seedlings at the time of planting. Wilt-pruf and X2-1337 reduced plant moisture stress (PMS) for up to 14 days but greatly decreased seedling survival. Cloud Cover had no effect on either PMS or seedling mortality. None are recommended for use on outplanted black spruce seedlings. Tree Planters' Notes 38(4):23-26; 1987.
