Abstract

Foresters have known for a long time that seed-eating rodents, birds, and insects must be circumvented before direct seeding can be successful. Advances have been made in reducing losses in the direct seeding of pine by the use of chemical repellents, and in several areas of the South recommended concentrations have been satisfactory. Direct seeding is now on an operational basis.
