Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "reduce or eliminate circling and matted root formation on container-grown trees; to reduce heat stress damage to container-grown tree rots; [and] to increase quantity of roots harvested on field-grown trees." States that "various copper treatments, including copper in a carrier applied directly to container walls, and copper applied via a copper-treated fabric bag as a container insert, have been effective in greatly reducing, and on some species, totaly eliminating, any circling or matted root formation" and that "a hybrid container-field production system - the CELLUGRO System™ - which uses an expanded grid unit atop a drain board and liner, all installed in a shallow ground trench - was very effective in preventing circling root formation, greatly reducing irrigation needs...and moderating root temperatures to prevent heat stress." |
