The quality of unextracted pine seed
Three years of Cone Analysis Service data from the Eastern Tree Seed Laboratory were analyzed to determine the quality of pine seed that is not extracted after one drying of the cones. This unextracted seed was, in general, of poorer quality than extracted seed. However, unextracted seed in some cases represented substantial seed losses. Use of the cone analysis procedure to identify cone lots requiring processing is discussed.
