Mold Fungi and Their Relationship to Forest Tree Seed

Immediate rehabilitation of harvested forest lands by planting or direct seeding has become a major endeavor of the Weyerhaeuser Company. Such an objective is dependent on an adequate supply of desirable tree seed. To meet this need, cone collection and seed processing have become an integral part of our forest practices. Along with foresters, specialists in the fields of soils, physiology, regeneration, silviculture, entomology, wildlife biology, and pathology, are engaged in coordinated research on aspects of seed procurement and regeneration. The purpose of the present paper is to discuss one aspect of the pathological problems involved, viz, the fungi (commonly called molds) on forest tree seed, especially Douglas-fir seed.
