Excerpt from Germination of Treated Shortleaf Pine Seed The study was made in greenhouse facilities of the University of Missouri, using 1957 Missouri seed that had been stored in sealed containers at 32 to 36 F. Moisture content of this seed before stratification was about 22 percent. Treatments studied were stratification for 20, 40, and 60 days at 38 to 40 F. Followed by storage for 2, 15, and 30 days at 38 and 60 F. Some seed lots received no coating, others the sticker only, and the rest were treated with both sticker and a mixture of two repellents. All treatment combinations were replicated four times. There were 220 sample lots of 100 seeds each. The polyethylene-plastic-bag method of seed stratification was used in this study.
