Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on the Germination of Loblolly and Slash Pine Seed
Franco) was particularly responsive. Seed soaked in 1 percent hydrogen per oxide for 48 hours reached 50 percent germination in 1% days, whereas seed stratified at 3° C. For 10 days required 8% days to reach 50 percent germina tion Stimulations of this magnitude would be quite important in forest nursery and direct seeding operations because a large part of mortality occurs during the germination period(4). Increasing the speed of germination would shorten the time of vulnerability and should reduce mortality.
The current study was carried out to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide upon the germination of loblolly (pinus taeda L.) and slash (pinus elliottii Engelm.) pine seed.
All studies were carried out at. The Eastern Tree Seed Laboratory located at the Georgia Forestry Center.
