Test of Seeding Germinated Western White Pine Seed

Present recommended methods of direct-seeding western white pine call for planting in the fall following the control of seed-eating rodents by poisoning. The Northern Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station began field tests in 1948 to determine the practicability of spring-sowing germinated white pine seed as a method of avoiding the need for direct rodent control. A series of four plots was seeded from 1948 to 1950 on two freshly burned sites within the white pine type. In all, 2, 200 seed spots were planted in the test.
