Germination retarded but protection enchanted in conifer seed after coating

Coating seeds with a repellent against birds and small rodents and a fungicide against damping-off is a current practice in forest tree nurseries in Quebec. The repellent is always used, but the fungicide is used only when the seedbeds have not been fumigated. Numerous studies show that treatments with repellents and fungicides may be effective or toxic depending on the chemical, the amount and the nature of active ingredient used, and oil the species treated.
