Longleaf Pine Root System Development and Seedling Quality in Response to Copper Root Pruning and Cavity Size
rootcollar diameter as the standard, nondestructive measure of seedling quality. Other nondestructive measures of seedling quality would be valuable. One option, root-bound index (RBI), reflects the ratio of rootcollar and cavity diameters (South et al. 2005, South and Mitchell 2006). This variable is an indirect, nondestructive measure of how well the cavity accommodates both the taproot and f...
متن کاملAir Lateral Root Pruning Affects Longleaf Pine Seedling Root System Morphology
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings were cultured with air lateral root pruning (side-vented containers, VT) or without (solid-walled containers, SW). Seedling root system morphology and growth were assessed before planting and 8 and 14 months after planting. Although VT seedlings had greater root collar diameter than the SW before planting, seedling height and ground line diameter were n...
متن کاملLongleaf Pine Seedling Production
Longleaf pine is a highly desirable species, resisting fire, insects and pathogens, and produces quality solid-wood products, but regeneration of the species has been difficult. Natural regeneration is feasible only on a small portion of the area considered to be longleaf pine type. Therefore, artificial regeneration must become a reliable means of regenerating the species if restoration of the...
متن کاملRoot Disease, Longleaf Pine Mortality, and Prescribed Burning
A study was initiated at the Savannah River Site, New Ellenton, SC, to determine factors involved in decline of longleaf pine associated with prescribed burning. Pretreatment and post-treatment surveys were conducted on all treatment plots. Symptomatic trees were recorded by means of a crown rating system based upon symptom severity. Three years after prescribed burning treatments were initiate...
متن کاملUnderstanding Root Systems to Improve, Seedling Quality
Root architecture can be very important in plant productivity. The importance of studies on root morphology and development is discussed to improve seedling growth. Root systems of dicotyledonous species are reviewed, with emphasis on differences between growth of basal and lateral roots. The presence of different types of roots in plant species suggests possible differences in function as well...
