Optimum age/size for out-planting tubed nursery plants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis
Optimum age/size for out-planting tubed nursery plants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis
Muhammad Rafique and Muhammad Afzal
ABSTRACT
Seedlings of more than six months old are also not
recommended for out-planting as these gain more height
alongwith more cost for retaining them for longer time
in the nursery.
The study was designed to find out the optimum and
economical age/size of Eucalyptus camaldulensis tubed
nursery plants for transplanting in the field. Six
different age groups of seedling were planted for this
purpose. Results revealed that seedlings of three months
old or less are not suitable for out-planting due to
their high mortality rate. Seedlings of four and a half
to six months are best for transplanting in the field.
