The potential of 9 bacterial and 6 fungal isolates to
protect wood against wood staining microorganisms was
studied using small sapwood samples of unseasoned Ponderosa
pine [Pinus ponderosa Laws] sapwood. Bacillus subtilis Cohn,
isolate 733 A , Gliocladium virens J.H. Miller, J.E. Giddens
& A.A. Foster isolate H 3 and...
The hypothesis is explored that lodgepole pine at the seedling emergence period is more resistant to low temperatures than ponderosa pine. Differential tolerance between species to low temperatures is then related to the prevalence of lodgepole pine in frost pocket areas in central Oregon to the exclusion of ponderosa pine....
Two-year-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.)
from two seed sources were grown at two nurseries. The
Fremont seed source was raised at Bend and Stone Nursery;
the Ochoco was grown at only the Bend Nursery. The
seedlings were fertilized in late September-early October
with nitrogen (N) or nitrogen plus potassium...
