Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seed is an indispensable gadget, for all people involved with plant kingdom. Seed by itself, is a fascinating piece of art and Daphne J. Osborne admire thus the almost universal formation of the dry seed and its revival on the addition of water is nothing short of an evolutionary miracle. Understanding of molecular mechanisms of seed and development of technologies for best exploitation of seed's potential is all about Seed Science and Technology. It is important to sensitize the students about the basic mechanisms of seed and the applicability of seed related technologies. This book is written for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students or a layperson that is interested to be introduced to Tree Seed Technology. The chapters of the book are arranged in such a way that the reader first gets acquainted with the intricacies of tree seed well. Later on, the biological systems of seed are dealt with to describe how seeds form, develop, mature, germinate or remain dormant. Thereafter, details of quality seed production are elaborated with due importance to the influence of agro- climatic and pollution factors involved. All the efforts generated to produce quality seeds should culminate in obtaining high vigor seedlings, for which seed handling techniques are imperative, therefore, chapter has been allocated to elaborate the methodologies and precautions to be followed during seed collection, extraction, drying, processing, treating, and storing. The chapter on synthetic seed production is included to reflect the large strides made in the recent years in the field of plant propagation. In order to make available right quality of seed, testing and certification of seeds has been implemented for agricultural and horticultural crops in India through Seed Acts. The same is yet to be extended for tree seeds also. The seed testing and certification procedures pertaining to trees seeds are provided in two chapters.The Book is designed to be straight- forward and reader- friendly. Figures and tables are provided at all necessary places to sustain the interest of the reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest Nursery: Collection of Tree Seeds and Propagation of Seedlings The art of raising forest-tree seedlings and planting trees is but little known among farmers, for whom it has very great economic interest. For the farmer of the Eastern wooded country, the study Of how to grow trees has not yet reached, nor is it likely to reach, the same degree Of importance as for the Western farmer. The Eastern farmer has often to consider only what trees shall be allowed to grow up and what shall be introduced, while the Western farmer has to consider what may be grown and how. The greater interest centers about the Western planter because Of his greater need for wood material, and also because the growth of trees under his conditions is most difficult. The importance of establishing wood lots or shelter belts on farms that lack them is no less Obvious than the necessity of raising the staple crops. The provident farmer can not afford to buy firewood, fence posts, or building timber any more than he can afford to buy corn and wheat. A part, if not all, of the wood material used on the farm can and should be grown there. The profit on this timber growth rightly belongs to the farmer, and it is therefore one which economic agricultu're can not neglect. The relative value of wood lots in the prairie region and the wooded East is, of course, different. To the prairie farmer the possession Of a wood lot affording posts, rails, poles, and firewood is of very great importance, since, being in a treeless reglon and distant from the sources Of wood supply, he would otherwise be compelled to pay high prices for such material. The Eastern farmer is less dependent, even though his wood lot has been cut Off, for he lives in a wooded country, where posts, fuel, and lumber are comparatively cheap. The scope of the farmer's tree planting will necessarily be small. In order to be entirely successful, smaller tree-planting operations should give useful results within one man's lifetime. To accomplish this the farmer tree planter must confine his attention chiefly to quick growing trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
