Excerpt from Direct Seeding and Planting of Balsam Fir in Northern Wisconsin Because of the aggressiveness of balsam fir in natural seeding in sites occupied by aspen, paper birch, and brush, artificial direct seeding would seem to have some promise. For many years, direct seeding in the field has held the interest of foresters not only in the Lake States, but also in other regions. To date, the results in the Lake States have not been encouraging. There have been many more failures than successes. However, because of the short cut that direct seeding offers, eliminating the time and expense of raising and planting seedlings, it is an attractive field for re search. To date, very little research has been done in the Lake States on seed ing and planting of balsam fir; however, a number of field trials have been made in northern Wisconsin. The results of these trials are pre sented in this paper. Each test is dealt with separately because they were conducted under varying conditions and direct comparison or summa tion of data is not possible. The Summary. However, draws the results together and presents overall conclusions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
