Chemical versus Mechanical Site Preparation in Loblolly Pine Stand Management
Stand establishment is a very critical decision-making phase in the life of a pine
plantation. Site preparation (chemical, mechanical, combinations with or without burning),
species selection, seedling genetics, seedling size, weed control, fertilization, and spacing
decisions made prior to, during, and soon after planting have long-term effects on stand survival,
growth, wood yields, rotation age, and products grown.
