Abstract
The direct seeding programme in Ontario has increased from 80 acres in 1956 to a maximum of 11,135 acres in 1967.Seed is applied by a variety of methods including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, snowmobiles and a variety of manual and mechanical equipment.All sites are prepared prior to seed application using mainly mechanical equipment such as finned drums, blades, teeth, tractor pads and ships anchor chains.Most of the seed is treated to reduce losses from animals and disease and is usually sown in the fall.The three main factors affecting the results of direct seeding in Ontario are weather, condition of the seed bed and the amount and distribution of the seed.Direct seeding is now the recommended artificial regeneration method for jack pine in many parts of the Province.
