2716017 Equipment Lateral root pruner used in row-seeded L.L. pine seedlings. Operational recommenda-tions include 2 lateral root prunings (Aug. & Oct.) during the growing season. Seed-lings are root pruned …
2716018 Management Example of successful lateral root pruning in L.L. pine seedbed. Note the narrow row widths (4 to 6 inches), coulter cutting depths, and lack of seedling damage and seedbed surface soil disturbance.
2716019 Management Horizontal root pruning conducted at 6" to 8 " soil depth inconjuction with the lateral root pruning. Horizontal root pruning dept depends on seedling root length (i.e., 6" in Aug. & 8" in Oct.).
2716023 Treatment The Benlate/clay/water mixture can be sprayed on the seeling roots either during lifting & packing at nursery or just prior to field planting. Recommended rates are 5% & 1% Benlate/dry clay …
2716024 Equipment Recently developed modification to stand-ard field planting machine that affords direct application of Benlate fungicides in mixtures with water absorbent materials, fertilizer, etc., …
2716026 Equipment L.L. pine seedlings, with larger root systems & absence of stems, require custom seedling lifting procedures. Recently developed custom lifting machines such as the Fobro lifter have provided …
2716027 Seedling(s) The most widely used seedling packing containers in southern nurseries are the Kraft, plastic-lined (KP) bags. L.L. seedlings can be satisfactorily packed, stored, & shipped in these bags. …
2716028 Equipment Machine planting has been the most satisfactory planting procedure for L.L. pine seedling. The longer taproot requires a deeper planting hole than other shorter-rooted southern yellow pines. …
2716032 Treatment Solid tarp soil fumigation. Preferred type of fumigation using recommended and EPA registered methyl bromide-chloropicrin fumigant formulations.
2716033 Treatment Alternate strip type soil fumigation. Used under windy conditions and when solid tarp equipment is not available.

2716058 Display or Sign Requirements for longleaf natural regeneration.
2716059 Diagram or Graphic Procedure for natural regeneration. Examples of mis-timed operations. Seedbed burn without seed crop, burns up established seedling stand. Site prep. destroys seedling stand. Fire destroys dominant seedlings in early height growth.
2716062 Restoration Early natural regeneration attempts used the seed-tree method, 6-10 trees/acre. Disadv. site not occupied, brush invasion, too few seeds, too little needle litter fuel.
2716068 Field If present, hardwood midstory/understory must be removed.
2716069 Management Merchantable hardwood removed, including fuelwood whips. Large residuals, if any, deadened.
2716070 Management Midstory removed in fuelwood harvest of 16 to 20 green tons/acre.
2716072 Management Small woody stems (including sprouts) can be controlled with growing season burns.
2716073 Management Following summer burn.
2716074 Management Well-managed stands, periodically thinned and regularly prescribed burned, should not need preparatory cut and related hardwood control.
2716077 Cones Favor trees with past history of cone production. Normally, 750 or more cones/acre are needed for regeneration.
2716078 Diagram or Graphic Larger trees produce more cones, but production per square foot basal area is what counts.
2716081 Restoration Springtime binocular counts of flowers and conelets (and cones). In regeneration area mark about 50 typical trees for annual counts.
2716083 Cones L.L. flowers & "conelets" in late April, correct stage for binocular count. All visible flowers & "conelets" are counted from a single position with view of entire crown. Cones from preceding …
2716084 Diagram or Graphic Conversion of flower & conelet counts to expected number of cones/tree. Conver-sion regressions may differ among observers & locations. Local conversion factors can be developed from accumulated …
2716086 Management Well-prepared seedbed ideal, but this intensity not very practical.
2716087 Management Seedbed burn, winter through late summer before seedfall in October-November.
2716088 Management If based on springtime conelet counts, will be growing season burn.
2716089 Management If residual small hardwood & brush a problem, then herbicide plus burn may be helpful. Here a spring herbicide foliar spray was followed by a summer burn (brown & burn). This stand - a year after initial treatment
2716092 Management Conduct annual seedling stocking survey in winter. Begin immed. after seed cut. Regeneration may already be present. Sample minimum of 100 nested milacre--1/4-acre plots throughout regeneration area.
2716093 Management Recommended riterion for success - 6,000 or more seedlihngs/acre (& 75%+ milacre stocking). This will absorb logging losses up to 1/2 the stand & leave enough seedlings that the superior 10-20% …
2716094 Seedling(s) Seedlings in mid-June, with secondary (fascicled) needles.
2716098 Management Once acceptable seedling stand is established, the parent overstory can be removed (final harvest of crop).
