Train all new personnel prior to planting season.<br />
Provide refresher training to experienced planters<br />
periodically and if poor techniques are commonly<br />
observed.<br />
Organize hand crews to have a crew leader for<br />
every 5-6 planters. The crew leader should<br />
supervise the planting operation and correct any<br />
improper tree planting.<br />
While hand planting, carry seedlings in a canvas<br />
bag, bucket, etc. to protect the roots. Do not carry<br />
seedlings in hand.<br />
Be sure roots are visibly moist before placing in<br />
container. If not, dip seedling roots in gel or other<br />
coating.<br />
Verify that the seedlings are the correct species<br />
from the appropriate geographic seed source and<br />
genetic stock prior to planting.<br />
