- Weed Management in Conifer Seedbeds

Weeds compete with conifer seedlings for light, water, nutrients and space. Of these, light competition is probably the most detrimental to conifer seedlings.

Consequently, an intensive weed control program is required to produce quality seedlings and transplants.
