Seeds production in Chir pine, 1978 and future trends
K. M. Siddiqui
ABSTRACT
Intro: Seed production is a necessary part of any tree improvement programme. It is not a problem in crop plant breeding because most crop plants are raised for their seed and heavy and regular seed production is taken for granted. Most trees however, are not grown for their seed, and many trees that otherwise have desirable characteristics, seed only occasionally or not at all. Then fore, a tree breeder is concerned with seed production. Considerable research is underway in almost all countries on the stimulation of flowering and fruiting of trees (Wright, 1976). This note describes seed production in chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) growing in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir during 1978 and gives future trends.
