Growth and nutrient dynamics of Douglas-fir seedlings raised with exponential or conventional fertilization and planted with or without fertilizer

Abstract: The effects of two operational nursery fertilization regimes on the growth and nutrient dynamics of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) seedlings after planting were compared. Seedlings were grown in a nursery with nutrients added at a constant rate (conventional fertilization) or at a rate that increased exponentially by 2%Áday -1 (exponential fertilization) and planted near Barriere and Victoria, British Columbia. At the time of planting, half of the conventionally fertilized see… Show more

“…This may be attributed to the fact that the exponential treatment allocated more nutrients and energies into roots early in the experiment because of the relatively low nutrient inputs (Imo and Timmer 1992;Everett et al 2007); therefore, the exponential fertilization could not meet the nutrient demand for early growth of the seedlings. With the increase in applied fertilizer, exponential fertilization accumulated more nutrients to the aboveground, so no significant difference in the root/shoot ratio appeared between two groups of equal fertilizer treatments as of 11 weeks after transplanting.…”

“…En otros trabajos, como los realizados por Schott et al (2013) y Everett et al (2007), la adición de fertilizante en forma exponencial tampoco promovió un efecto favorable, pues cuando dichos autores examinaron los efectos de regímenes convencionales contra exponenciales en plantas de Populus tremuloides Michx., Pseudotsuga menziesii var. Glauca (Mirb.)…”

“…Estudiando la misma especie que Everett et al (2007), Burgess (1991) atribuye el comportamiento a que especies con crecimiento rápido no se benefician completamente por dicho régimen de fertilización, principalmente porque las tasas de adición de fertilizante durante las fases iniciales de crecimiento pueden ser bajas e insuficientes para los requerimientos de las plantas.…”
