Containerized Forest Tree Seedling Production and Development Prospects in Finland and Scandanavia

Sweden, Finland and Norway produced 250, 65and 40 million containerized seedlings, respectively, in 1980. Paperpot seedlings accounted for 210 million of the total figure. Although climate—controlled greenhouses are frequently used for crop production, maximum biological benefits have yet to be achieved. Development work aims at the integration of seedling production and planting systems, including the development of advanced planting machines. Norway is changing to containerized seedlings most rapidly, with 60% of total planting stock being containerized in 1980.
