Resumen
Descripción
FAO and DANIDA Forest Seed Centre have cooperated closely over the past two decades in the field of tree improvement and seed procurement.The increased rates of tree planting, which is apparent in so many countries today, emphasises more than ever before the need for good seed. Seed quality has a critical effect on the quality of the trees established and on the economics of planting them. This guide is concerned with the physiological quality of seeds and it is hoped that will be useful especia lly to developing countries in the tropics, where publications on forest seed are few in comparison with those for the temperature zones.
