The use of fertilisers, particularly slow‐release nitrogen fertilisers, in forest nurseries is discussed. In forests, trials have shown unforeseen interactions between applied fertilisers and unforeseen effects of different constituents of particular fertilisers. Future requirements of phosphate rock, phosphate‐potash, and urea, the main fertilisers used, are considered.
