Résumé - L'action favorable des fertilisants sur la croissance in situ de jeunes plants de Pinus sylvestris résulte d'un ensemble complexe de facteurs. Outre l'amélioration des conditions de la nutrition minérale qui conduit à une plus grande incorporation des éléments par la plante, les modifications de la pérennité des aiguilles constituent un facteur essentiel. En Haute-Corrèze sur rédoxisol très oligotrophe les apports en magnésium et en microéléments influent favorablement sur la pérennité des aiguilles et sur la croissance. (© Inra/Elsevier, Paris)
Abstract - Note about the effects of fertilization on senescence needles of Pinus sylvestris. The positive effect of fertilization on plant growth is related to improvement of soil nutrient availability and plant uptake. Dry weigth of two years old needles was increased by fertilization (table III). Mean 2 years old needles dry weight for one tree was 0.39 g for control. This was multiplied by 1.4 for Ca, 2.4 for CaMg and NPKCaMg and 3.8 for complete treament (including microelements). Mineral analysis of needles (table IV) indicated that Ca concentration was increased significantly in all fertilized plots. Mg and K contents were increased significantly in treatment with Mg supply. The Mn concentration was significantly decreased by fertilization. In Haute-Corrèze (France) a delay of the senescence period can have a positive effect on photosynthesis of young scots pine and consequently on growth and biomass rate. (© Inra/Elsevier, Paris)
