Effects of Fertilization Treatments on Plantation Growth of Triploid Clones in Populus tomentosa

With four clones of triploid Populus tomentosa as materials, the effects of fertilization treatment on growth and physiological characters in terms of leaf nitrogen content, phosphorous content, potassium content, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, water utilization efficiency and chlorophyll content have been studied. Compared with the general fertilizer as a control, the long-effect fertilizer, especially for Populus, produce more favorable results, for P. tomentosa on sandy land.
