Effects of watering after lifting and exposure before planting on plant quality and performance in Oriental spruce

Effects of exposure to air on planting stress in red oak seedlings

“…From a practical point of view, it may be suggested from this study that cultural practices like packing seedlings in polyethylene bags (Webb and von Althen, 1980), rewatering after the exposure phase (Genç, 1996) or treating with antidesiccants (Englerts et al, 1993) can reduce water losses and minimize adverse effects of deferred planting.…”
