Private non-industrial forest landowners are very interested in fertilization of their pine plantations. Many own tractors and spreaders and are willing to apply fertilizers themselves. Very little information is available to NIPFLs on the magnitude and duration of response to NP, NPCu, NPKCu, or NPKSCu fertilization in thinned loblolly pine stands on marginal fertility cut-over sites. Current pine pulpwood versus chip and saw and small sawtimber price disparities (pulpwood is 1/5 chip and saw per cord and 1/8 sawtimber per cord) have many NIPF landowners wanting to shift wood to the more valuable product classes as well as grow more wood.
