Comparison of sludge and fertilizer applications on establishment and growth of seedlings of two sweetgum ecotypes endomycorrhizal with glomus mosseae and glomus etunicatus. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5248282

A study of sludge and fertilizer applications on the development of sweetgum progeny from two different mother trees. There are significant differences in survival between the genetically different half-sib progeny. Half-sib progeny from mother tree 76-11 had 72% survival, while those from 76-9 had only 56% survival. A second study had only one level of a commercial fertilizer which was used for all genetic tree lines. The third outplanting experiment was installed to compare root coolar diameters of progeny from two genotypic lines of sweetgum.
