Abstract
By modelling seed-count distributions per seedling tray, it is possible to determine the optimal seeding rate that leads to lowest labour costs for maximal container-stock production. The optimal seeding rate decreases with increasing seeding precision, seed viability, and seed costs. These results are illustrated for Paper pots and Jiffy pots seeded with black spruce. Survey-type information is provided for other species (jack pine, red pine, Norway spruce, white spruce). Key Words: Seeding, seed costs, transplanting, thinning, Binomial distribution.
