Production, Nutritive Quality, And Rootstock Survival Of Japanese Honeysuckle
A study of Japanese honeysuckle was conducted from April 1970 through April 1972 on Barksdale Air Force Base in northwest Louisisana. Production and nutritive quality of honeysuckle under natural, fertilized, and/ or controlburned conditions were evaluated. Honeysuckle produced 948 ovendry pounds of forage per acre on a bottomland soil and 697 ovendry pounds of forage per acre on upland soils. It had a high regrowth response by seasons. The survival rate of planted rootstock in a wildlife opening and under a forest canopy averaged 70 percent under different planting conditions. Leaves...
