Seed Pathogens and Seed Treatments
Every year, nursery growers prepare thousands of pounds of conifer seed for sowing in bare-root and container nurseries.

This is not to minimize the contribution that seed maturation level and vigor play in seedling development, but rather as an insurance of quality throughout the nursery production chain.
