Conditioning white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) transplants for overwinter storage by root pruning and wrenching
(1987)Problems associated with the establishment and early growth of outplanted white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) led to research on conditioning white spruce transplants for overwinter frozen storage by root pruning and ... -
Effective root growth potential of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) container stock
(1989)The effective root growth potential (RGP) of both potted and outplanted jack pine seedlings grown in Lannen-Sokeri FH-408 paperpots and Can-Am #2 Multipots was measured on three test dates during the summers of 1986 and ... -
Effects of container volume and shape on the growth of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings
(1984)The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the growth of black spruce seedlings in containers with four soil volumes (45, 90, 180, 360 cm3) and at three diameter/depth shapes (1:2, 1:3, 1:4). Seedling height, root collar ... -
Foliage and wood production in 17- and 32- year old Pinus banksiana Lamb. of Northwestern Ontario
(1980)The objectives of this study were 1) to provide information on the above ground biomass production of young jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) stands, and 2) to evaluate the influence of crown foliage stand density, and ... -
Glyphosate herbicide for the control of aspen in a white spruce plantation in Manitoba
(1989)Three experimental herbicide trials were established within a white spruce plantation located in the Porcupine Provincial Forest of the Mixedwood Section (B.18a) (Rowe 1972) of western Manitoba. The trials were as ... -
Growing media, feeding schedules, and container coating for Eucalyptus globulus Labill. container stock production
(1992)Present day container nursery systems for the production of Eucalyptus Dill, are reviewed and documented from the results of a comprehensive questionnaire distributed to 30 major Eucalyptus producing countries. The results ... -
Indicators of competition in a Northwestern Ontario jack pine plantation
(1995)Competition in forestry is discussed as a prelude to the hypothesis that tree seedling growth is strongly related to that of other vegetation close to it. The hypothesis states that: a) the relationship is species-dependent; ... -
Plantation establishment following chemical site preparation with triclopyr and plantation release with triclopyr-glyphosate herbicide mixtures
(1996)Two field studies were conducted to evaluate the use of Release™ (triclopyr ester) for chemical site preparation and its use in mixture with glyphosate for jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) plantation release. -
Post logging succession and vegetation management with hexazinone herbicide in Picea glauca (Moench) Voss-Populus tremuloides Michx. forest
(1981)The objectives were: to review the successional behaviour of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) - trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michxt) stands in the literature, to conduct field studies of the successional ... -
Root pruning, wrenching and overwinter cold storage : effects on the morphological and physiological condition of transplant Picea glauca [Moench] Voss nursery stock
(1984)The objectives of this thesis were to; 1) evaluate the effect of a single early spring root pruning followed by a series of five root wrenching treatments at three week intervals on the morphological condition of rising ... -
Silviculture, growth and yield of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) plantations in northern Ghana
(1996)The silviculture and growth and yield of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) grown in individual and community plantations in the Tamale Forest District of Northern Ghana was investigated in 1995. Owing to rising populations ...
