Survival and growth of seedlings of 10 half-sib families of loblolly pine with three ectomycorrhizal conditions on an upland site in South Carolina. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6180464
Seedlings of 10 families from nursery plots infested with Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt), Thelephora terrestris (Tt) or naturally inoculated (NI) were nursery grown, graded to specific size and ectomycorrhizal conditions, and outplanted. Initial height and root-collar were obtained one month later. Seedlings with the least amount of ectomycorrhizae (NI) had significantly smaller plot volumes than seedlings with abundant ectomycorrhizae (Pt and Tt). The response of specific pine families to the ectomycorrhizal condition was variable. 1 table.
