Abstract

An increasing interest in improved polyploid and hybrid aspen has demanded a method of producing large numbers of aspen seedlings at a minimum cost. Because aspen seed is very small, loses its viability rapidly, is subject to damping-off and mold, and is easily washed by raindrop action during the first few weeks of slow seedling growth, the techniques employed in the production of the larger seeded conifers cannot be used with aspen seed.
