Abstract
Prior to this study the two senior
authors, as plant pathologists, had recommended fertilization as a preventive
or corrective control measure for several
tree diseases. It was recognized, however,
that the procedures for fertilizing
established trees had not been thoroughly
subjected to scientific evaluation;
more experimental data were needed.
While cooperating with the junior
author at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle,
Illinois, on plant disease studies in 1962
the senior authors learned of an experimental
area in the Arboretum which
contained uniform, established trees in
100-tree blocks with tree spacing intervals
optimum for fertilizer trials. In
this area a cooperative study was initiated
with the Morton Arboretum.
Following the early successful attempts
at measuring growth response to
fertilizer applications in 1963 and 1964
at the Morton Arboretum, the senior
authors expanded the study with trials
at four additional sites in Illinois
through 1968.
