The AU Southern Forest Nursery Management Cooperative conducts research in both pest management on hardwood and conifer seedling production as well as the environmental impact of pesticides and fertilizers in nurseries, and the integration of nursery practices with site preparation and post-outplanting operations for seedling survival. The objectives of this research area is to develop and disseminate available cultural, biological, and chemical technologies using an integrated system for the economical production and utilization of forest tree seedlings in the southern United States. Considerable research effort goes into developing effective weed and disease control technologies as well as nursery related factors such as seedling size, fertility, and health, affected performance after planting.
