Summary:
Research Note presented at the XII World Forestry Congress – Québec, Canada 2003
This brief presents the most recent results of research carried out on tree reproduction at the Forest Research Directorate of the ministère des Ressources naturelles, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec (Canada). The research approach relies on the simplicity of the methods so they will be easily applicable in a number of forestry contexts. Important breakthroughs were made in the management of conventional and interior container seed orchards, mass-pollination techniques to increase seed yield, pollen collection and storage techniques, technical conditions needed for nursery seed germination and development of large-scale cutting propagation systems. The close collaboration among researchers and practitioners in Québec had significant spill-over effects in nurseries and seed orchards. Several unique prototypes were developed and are now in general use.
