The Use of Rootdips on North American Conifer Seedlings: A Review of the Literature
Many foresters are root dipping their bareroot conifer seedlings before planting or have done so in the past. This paper discusses different rootdip substances and reviews the many research studies on root dipping published in the last 25 years. Root dipping can help tree seedlings maintain water in their roots before planting. However, rootdips do not improve seedling survival after planting on harsh sites and they have been shown to be detrimental during storage. Tree Planters' Notes 45(1):26-31; 1994.
