Seed Laboratory Computerization: A Database for the Forest Tree Seed Industry

In 1984 the Oregon State University Seed Testing Laboratory began to look at computers to replace their aging mechanical card/tape system of recording and storing data. A Masters candidate (Alberto Maristany) was hired on a half-time basis to design, develop and implement a computer system to meet the needs of the laboratory. His copyrighted programs were named Seed-Lab and have application for use in any seed laboratory. More complete details of his work may be found in a paper by Maristany and Danielson (1986). The purpose of this paper is to describe the computer system and benefits it may have for the forest tree seed and nursery industries.
