Nutrition and Forest Health Item Info

Nearly all forest sites in this region are nutrient deficient, usually only nitrogen but sometimes potassium as well. Other elements may be limiting but not as commonly as these two. Forest fertilization can alleviate these deficiencies resulting in trees that should be more resistant to insects and diseases. Recent results suggest that it may be possible to alter tree root chemistry to the detriment of Armillaria ostoyae root rot by manipulating tree nutritional status, particularly by using potassium fertilization treatments.
