Effects of soil cultivation, fertilisation, initial seedling diameter and plant handling on the development of maturing Pinus radiata D. Don on Kaingaroa gravelly sand in the Central North Island of New Zealand

Two experiments relating to establishment that had been established in 1978 and 1981 were re-measured at least twice following the initial growth period in order to examine the effects of soil cultivation, fertilisation, and seedling quality on maturing crops of radiata pine. Cultivation improved su...
