N fertilizer decreased the growth of slash pine, while P not only significantly improved the increment of bottom diameter, height and crown diameter, but also caused earlier canopy closure of the stand. It also had a sustainable effect in the next two years. Slash pine had the most significant response to the treatment of 200 kg P2O5 ha-1, in which tree height, bottom diameter and crown diameter (EW and SN) were increased by 22%, 35%, 20% and 18% in 1994, 21%, 25%, 10% and 10% in 1995, respectively, compared to the control.Although there was no remarkable response to K fertilizer, good growth response to the application of 100 kg P2O5 plus 100 kg K2O ha-1 existed and tree height, bottom diameter and crown diameter (EW and SN)were increased by 31%, 14%, 23% and 21%, respectively, in 1993, compared to the control.展开更多
