Abstract
In Alberta, it is recognized that, in general, old cut-over spruce stands, even where there appears to be an adequate seed source, are not regenerating sufficiently to form potentially mechantable stands (1). Ways and means must therefore be found to correct this situation and this study was initiated to follow up previous leads (3, 4 and 5) which suggested that the desired results might be obtained by the proper treatment of the seed-bed.
