Nutrient management of your pine plantation may increase volume and value dramatically! |

Fertilizer increases needle effectiveness in the use of sunlight and available water. Fertilizer also increases the number of needles on the tree. Needles are to a pine tree what an engine is to a car. More needles provide the increased horsepower needed to allow trees to grow larger, faster. Size matters. Pines that grow to a greater diameter provide more valuable timber at harvest. Harvest of softwood timber is expected to increase in the next few years, but the land base producing that timber may continue to shrink due to population pressures and lack of timberland management by private landowners. |
