Book excerpt: Regeneration of Douglas-fir following harvesting has proven difficult on many sites in British Columbia. As a result, alternative nursery practices are being explored to improve seedling growth. Using two experiments I aimed to identify an improved nutritional program for Douglas-fir seedlings. The objective of the first experiment was to identify the optimum nitrogen (N) source ratio for Douglas-fir between two inorganic sources of N, ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3- ). Seedlings were grown in controlled environments in aeroponic culture with solutions containing 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, 80:20 or 100:0 NH4+:NO3- ratios. Growth and nutrient allocation was observed for 45 days. Different NH4+ and NO3-ratios resulted in significant differences in growth and nutrient allocation. Seedlings grown in solutions containing abundant and relatively equal portions of NH4+ and NO3- were characterized by the greatest relative growth rates, greatest biomass and stable internal nitrogen concentrations. Seedlings grown in solutions containing high NH4+ (80:20 and 100:0 NHS+:NO3- ) concentrations were characterized by lower relative growth rates, less biomass, lower internal nutrient concentrations and lower rates of photosynthesis and root respiration compared to seedlings with less NH4+ (20:80, 40:60 and 60:40 NH4+:NO3- ). Seedlings appeared to take up a greater proportion of NH4+ than NO3- from solution. The objective of the second experiment was to examine the implications of two nursery fertilization regimes for growth and nutrient dynamics. Seedlings were grown in a nursery with nutrients added at a constant rate (conventional fertilization) or at an exponentially increasing rate of 2% day-1 (exponential nutrient loading). At the time of planting, half of the conventionally fertilized seedlings were planted with slow release fertilizer packets. Growth and nutrient allocation was observed for two years following planting. In the field experiment, although exponential nutrient.

At the time of planting, half of the conventionally fertilized seedlings were planted with slow release fertilizer packets. Growth and nutrient allocation was observed for two years following planting. In the field experiment, although exponential nutrient loading applied 25% more N in the nursery compared to the conventional regime, no benefits in growth or nutrient allocation were found. Two years after planting, there were no significant differences in height, root collar diameter or total dry mass between seedlings grown under the different nursery fertilizer regimes. In contrast, seedlings planted with additional fertilizer consistently outperformed seedlings grown with exponential nutrient loading, with greater height, root collar diameter and dry mass. Two growing seasons after planting there were no significant differences among treatments in whole-plant N concentrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Response of Douglas-Fir Seedlings to Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorus Fertilizers This study, therefore, was designed to study effects of N, S, and P additions on growth and nutrient content of Douglas - fir seedlings grown in two forest soils in a lathhouse. We are aware of the limitations of pot tests in providing prescriptions that can be directly applied to field situations. However, the very limited information about Douglas - fir nutrition now available and the high cost of establishing field tests strongly justify preliminary experimentation with seedlings.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. Franco) seedlings at a nursery in western Oregon were fertilized with nitrogen in October. Free amino acid (FAA) and total nitrogen concentrations in needles, stems and fine roots were followed from before fertilization until just prior to budbreak the following spring. Before budbreak in mid-March, the FAA and total nitrogen concentrations in the fertilized seedlings were significantly higher than the unfertilized seedlings. Fertilized seedlings showed significant depletion of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) relative to the unfertilized seedlings. The reduction in carbohydrate reserves following fertilization probably reflects increased respiration associated with the synthesis and maintenance of higher levels of enzymes. The seedlings were lifted from the nursery bed and planted in a split plot design. The main treatment was the presence or lack of grass competition. Within each main plot, the previously fertilized and unfertilized seedlings were planted. Sucrose was applied to the soil around each seedling to limit the availability of nitrogen to tree roots. On the average, the fertilized seedlings broke bud ten days earlier than the unfertilized seedlings and produced more growth aboveground. The earlier budbreak was responsible for initial differences in growth response. Later harvests showed that fertilized seedlings also exhibited higher relative growth rates. Seedlings growing in the grass plots had predawn water potentials of -1.5 MPa by early August. By September 3, the unfertilized seedlings growing with grass showed significantly more predawn water stress than any of the other three treatments. Although the fertilized seedlings had higher FAA and total nitrogen concentrations than unfertilized seedlings when they were planted, by the end of one growing season the FAA arid total nitrogen concentrations had equalized. However, the fertilized seedlings contained more FAA and nitrogen because of their greater size. Grass competition affected both seedling nitrogen and non-structural carbohydrate chemistry. After one growing season, the fertilized seedlings showed a 3 cm increase in height increment; a 29% increase in the number of stem units on the terminal leader; a 44% increase in aboveground growth; a 25% increase in total seedling leaf area; a 23% increase in relative growth rate; and a 14% increase in production per unit nitrogen.
