Abstract
The sod around established saplings was treated with the nitrogenous fertilizer ammonium nitrate and/or the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate). Compared with untreated trees, all treatments increased the shoot growth of black walnut ( Juglans nigra L.), and the trunk growth of sycamore ( Platanus occidentalis L.), Norway maple ( Acer platanoides L.), and honey-locust ( Gleditsia triacanthos L. inermis Willd.). The response in walnut persisted for 2 growing seasons following application.
