Mid-Rotation Silviculture Timing Influences Nitrogen Mineralization of Loblolly Pine Plantations in the Mid-South USA
Intensively managed loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations often develop nutrient deficiencies near mid-rotation. Common silvicultural treatments for improving stand nutrition at this stage include thinning, fertilization, and vegetation control. It is important to better understand the influence of timing fertilization and vegetation control in relation to thinning as part of improving the...
متن کاملSoybean Response to Poultry Litter and Inorganic Fertilizer
Poultry litter application to fields that will be cropped to legumes is desirable because legumes biologically fix N2 gas from the atmosphere, allowing manures to be applied at rates needed only to satisfy crop P and/or K requirements. The need to export the nutrients in poultry litter from western Arkansas to areas of intensive cropping and fertilizer use plus recent increases in commercial fe...
متن کاملOptimal Financial Returns of Loblolly Pine in East Texas by
The profitability of managing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) on nonindustrial private forest lands in East Texas depends on the frequency, timing and intensity of commercial thinning(s), and the timing of the final harvest. The landowner's alternative rate of return (ARR), stumpage prices, labor costs, and management practices also have an effect on profitability. To determine the best manageme...
متن کاملEffect of Chemical Amendments on Ammonia Volatilization from Poultry Litter
Ammonia (NH3) volatilization from poultry litter results in a buildup of atmospheric NH3 in chicken houses, which is detrimental to both farm laborers and birds. Ammonia loss from litter is detrimental to the external environment because it results in acid rain, as well as low N/P ratios in litter, which increase the likelihood of excessive P runoff into adjacent water bodies. The objectives of...
متن کاملAn Annual Tree Survival and Diameter Growth Model for Loblolly and Slash Pine Plantations in East Texas
An annual growth model that predicts individual tree survival and diameter growth was developed for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) trees in East Texas as a function of individual-tree diameter, plantation age, basal area per acre, dominant height, quadratic mean diameter, and presence of fusiform rust (Cronartium quercuum [Berk.] Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme)....
