Establishment of Populus energy plantations. Fourth year funding request and 1979-1980 progress reports
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6087057
Highlights of progress made during 1979 and 1980 are summarized. The final demonstration plantation of best clones was established. Data were collected on previously established plots of populus. The following studies will be performed during the quarter ending June, 1981: conduct third stage weed control tests on large plots; determine season and application rates for safe overspraying of trees during herbicide control of weeds; define best planting period for unrooted hardwood cuttings; determine fertilizer and cultural regimes for optimum growth and yields; and determine the necessity and advantages of irrigation on newly established plantations. The plantations were planned to demonstrate the most promising systems and methods, including planting machinery, type of plant material, competition control by cover crops, and plant pest control methods.
