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:6449379
Seedlings of 10 families of loblolly pine artificially inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius and Thelephora terrestris or naturally inoculated were grown at the IMRD nursery in Athens, Georgia, and outplanted at the Savannah River Plant, Aiken, South Carolina, in February 1980. The 1981 Progress Report presented first year survival and growth data. This report also mentioned the second year drought problem and its impact on survival and growth. Severe block to block variation caused by the two drought years precludes statistical significance at this time. There are not significant effects of family or ectomycorrhizae due to this variation. Third year measurements will be made in the winter of 1982-1983 and data analyzed. 2 tables.
