Abstract

ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted at Kund to study the effect of soil disturbance in combination with shrub and herb control on the survival and growth of the nursery raised 3 and 12 month old planted seedlings. Vegetation treatments included cutting and killings with herbicide applications. Seedling age in relation to competition from other vegetation is important for the survival of seedlings. Total shrub (Viburnum) control and soil working improved survival (77% of 3 months old seedlings as compared to control (67%). The highest survival of 85-87% was achieved in the plots where herbs and shrubs were killed with herbicide. Heights of seedlings (3 and 12 month old) was significantly affected by age while the effect of cover and fencing was least.
