Pregermination Treatment Hastens Emergence of Loblolly Pine Seedlings
A pregermination treatment in which loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seeds were placed in a warm, lighted, aerated water bath was tested as a method to hasten germination. The treatment significantly reduced the time between sowing and emergence, but did not affect the variation in emergence timing. Seedling morphology was not significantly affected by the pregermination treatment. Tree Planters' Notes 39(4):36-38; 1988.
