Summary

Adol had negligible effects on germination of Pinus resinosa Ait. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. seeds whereas TAG, Foli-gard, and Geon Vinyl Latex reduced the rate and final percent germination in proportion to dosage. When applied to the soil surface, some concentrations of Foli-gard increased dry weight accumulation and Geon Vinyl Latex improved leaf water balance of surviving seedlings of Robinia pseudoacacia. Adol had no effect when applied to the soil surface. re]19730508
