It is not well understood how nursery fertilisation affects the field performance of plants. This led us to study the effect of three mineral nutrients N P and K on both plant quality and frost tolerance. The experiment comprised eight growth treatments in which a high dose H- or a low dose L- of each nutrient was applied. Nitrogen was the nutrient that determined shoot growth new root growth after transplanting root egress frost tolerance and field performance. Performance was better with treatment H-N than with treatment L-N leaf nitrogen contents being and respectively. The effects of phosphorus and potassium were not significant between treatments for any parameter. The exception was P which when interacting with N favoured root egress for the H-N treatment. It was concluded that nursery fertilisation offers a management tool for eucalyptus growers concerned with plant stock quality. field performance frost tolerance mineral nutrients non-structural carbohydrates root egress Résumé - La fertilisation en pépinière affecte la tolerance au froid et la qualité des plants bouturés d Eucalyptus .
