Abstract
Assured production of good quality seed is essential for man-made forest establishment. Seed will be required each year, either for direct sowing in the forest or for sowing in the nursery, so as to extend existing plantings and to replace areas of forest which have been clear-felled and harvested. A regular program of planting is usually essential to maintain raw material supplies to established industries. Prompt replacement of harvested tree crops by planting will ensure rapid establishment of a new crop and the land will not remain unproductive during a lengthy period of natural regeneration.
