Seedbed Densities and Sowing and Lifting Dates Affect Nursery Development and Field Survival of Longleaf Pine Seedlings
Longleaf pine seedling development was markedly affected by seedbed densities: Larger and better quality stock resulted from lower bed densities. Seedlings lifted in December were markedly smaller if they had been sown in the spring rather than in the fall of the previous year; the smaller size produced lower field survival. Fall sowing resulted in greater seedling size and survival when lifting was done in December as opposed to February. When lifting was delayed until February, the effects of sowing dates declined.
