Effects of Substrate Moisture on Germination of Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Seed From Several Sources

Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seed from 15 sources were germinated on five different levels of substrate moisture (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 percent). A substrate moisture level of 10 percent or less was less desirable with crepe cellulose paper than were higher levels. Substrate moisture levels of 15 to 25 percent produced acceptable results.
