Abstract
Trials to improve the rate of germination of Pinus patula are described. The trials show that either soaking the seed in a 200 g/l polyethylene glycol 6000 solution for 15 days or soaking for 24 hours in a sea-weed concentrate followed by 20 day stratification at 2 to 3 °C can be safely used to reduce dormancy percent of the seed.Keywords
