“…is shorter lived and considered less desirable for game wildlife than oak (Quercus spp. ), but has demonstrated high survival and favorable growth rates when planted across a wide range of bottomland soil conditions and drainage classifications (Hosner and Minckler, 1963;Stanturf et al, 1998;Groninger et al, 2000;Schoenholtz et al, 2001). Therefore, green ash has been widely used on sites where initial failure of planted oak is believed to be probable.…”

“…Resultant stands often retain low percentages of planted oaks [4,[7][8][9]. The strong trend of failure observed in LMAV afforestation efforts indicates a need for greater understanding of hardwood plantation establishment in these settings.…”

Herbaceous weed control (HWC) is prescribed for growing season control of vegetative competition in hardwood afforestation attempts on former agricultural areas. Without HWC, planted seedlings often exhibit poor growth and survival. While currently employed HWC methods are proven, there is a substantial void in research comparing HWC treatments spanning multiple years. A total of 4,320 bare-root seedlings of three oak species were planted on three Mississippi sites. All sites were of comparable soils and received above average precipitation for the majority of the three-year study. Eight combinations of HWC and mechanical site preparation were utilized at each site, with 480 seedlings planted in each of the nine blocks, and a total of 1,440 seedlings per species planted across all sites. Treatments were installed on 3.1 m centers, with mechanical treatments as follows: control, subsoiling, bedding, and combination plowing. HWC treatments included one and two-year applications of Oust ® XP. Treatments were applied over seedlings post-planting in 1.5 m bands, at a rate of 140.1 g product/hectare. Excepting one species, HWC dependent height or groundline diameter differences were not detected among mechanical treatments, species, HWC regime, or combinations thereof. No survival differences were observed among site preparation treatments or species. However, analysis detected a growing season/HWC treatment interaction for seedling survival.

“…In the last decade of the 20th Century, over 193,000 ha of cropland were afforested in the LMAV (Schoenholtz et al, 2001;Gardiner and Oliver, 2005), mostly on land cleared in the 1960s and 1970s primarily for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production (Sternitzke, 1976).…”
