Locality plans, register sheet, workplan 82/55; file noted dated 16.2.83 by D Bergin on plot establishment. At 3 months after planting, animal damage by possums and caterpillars was recorded on 5% (deer and goats are also in area). Copy of report by K. Knight, January 1983, on evaluation of nutrient status of two types of nursery stock (Workplan 20055, RO 1862). File note by D Bergin dated 30.5.86 (WP IFM 9/55) on method of applying fertiliser 2 years after planting.

Future Work
SP RO 1862 should be cross referenced with SP A 1004 (comparable work in 4 northland forests) for filed material relevant to this Aongotete trial.
General Note
There was probably no further work on these trials after 1986 due to shortage of funds from NZFRI and closure of Kauri Management Unit.
