Fertility Management

Cropping Practices for Hybrid Poplars

Fertility Management

Proper fertility management is as essential to successful hybrid poplar production as it is to most common farm crops. Field tests of poplars indicate a good growth response to fertilizers, particularly nitrogen.

The replacement of nutrients, removed by harvesting, may be necessary to maintain the productivity of the site. A complete soil analysis is essential to ensure that an effective fertility management program is developed for each field.

Soil or tissue testing is recommended after the second or third growing season to help develop a plan to supplement the existing fertility.
